The level of Shaka's program is still improving. His stock is not down. It's never been higher. He's not coaching Kentucky -- he's coaching VCU.

This is begetting of a lifetime contract in your opinion if he'd actually made the round of 16 in one of the 5 glory years? In spite of never attaining that level again in 7 years thereafter? The Sweet 16 may have been the rallying cry -- but the dropoff in the level of the teams along with the lack of discipline was Stansbury's ultimate downfall. A victim of his own success, perhaps.

Stansbury:
2012: 83
2011: 121
2010: 61
2009: 66
2008: 41
2007: 59
2006: 108
2005: 30
2004: 8
2003: 27
2002: 12
2001: 34
2000: 140
1999: 93
How much of Ray's salary would he give up to have an RPI of 140?
