Here are the facts and people just need to accept them:

1. Stands was done as a coach. Helen Keller even communicated with Stricklin that she recognized that
2. Ray was left a program that was nuked and riddled with druggies
3. Ray is a much better floor coach than Stands
4. Stands of 1993-2006 is a better recruiter than Ray- but Stands also had a helluva network supporting his ass in the process. That network is no longer functioning
5. We are obviously better in Ray's 2nd season than his 1st. And if you watched the effort and heart of what he was left with- his 1st season was a success.

Gonna have to let it play out and see what happens in Ray's first 4 years.
