A good chunk of this has to be on the coach. I'm willing for wait since Ray has been given an unfair hand, but next year goes a long way in swaying my opinion in either direction given an experienced roster and a chance to see a number of recruits he's directly responsible for.
There is nothing we can do but wait . Nothing we say or do will get rid of the coach. It seems a lot of the on the fencers will use next year as the measuring stick. I hope me and all of the naysayers are wrong and that Ray is the guy. If he isn't, our basketball program will go into oblivion because he will get four years. And after next year if we see similar results as the first two years, everyone will be screaming to get rid of him. I would definitely rather Smoot, Engie, and Coach be right and gloat personally .
