it's doesn't have to be a top 15 coach, prohm or bryce drew would have excited the fanbase and opened up some pocket books too. obviously eventually the Ws have to come on the court to keep the cash flow coming, but at least they kick started things on the front end which makes it easier to start winning on the court later. we on the other hand, hired a coach that literally got the least amount of excitement from the fanbase possible. no pocketbooks opened up, and sure they might if he starts winning, but not only did he come into a bad situation and have no experience as a HC or an elite level assistant, but he doesn't have the pocketbooks behind him helping him along either, which makes it that much more difficult. now you can argue the fanbase should be throwing money behind whoever we hired, and maybe that's partially right, but you aren't going to convince smart, successful people with the kinda money to donate millions or even hundreds of thousands to the program to a guy they don't believe in or have no reason to believe in. they wouldn't be millionaires with money to burn if they just threw money away on people they don't trust or believe in.
