[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132671579, member: 1812660"] This. The fact that not even the best basketball coach in the world could not salvage this season at this point aside, what do people see in Huggins recent tenure that makes then so cocksure that he is going to do great things next year or the year after? Hell even if none of the summer incidents occurred and Huggins was coaching the great on paper roster, there is a chance he is only marginally better than the last 3 years. Has Huggins ever coached an NCAA tournament team capable of making run not built around guys he seasoned within his program? Has he shown any track record of taking talented guys as they are and making a plan to maximize that talent for one year as opposed to his normal MO of molding talent to fit his system? So even if Huggins was brought back right now, who knows if next year would be better than with a new hire since both would be starting with a pretty bare roster? There is no guarantee he gets the roster he had before his big **** up and there is no guarantee that he uses that roster effectively even if he does get it as it is outside of the wheelhouse he built that HoF career on.
