Was there a black coach with similar success to Medved who was a realistic target? Does this also mean every coach since Clem was hired based on skin color?
They have been declining at large since 2016-17, that was the peak of the league. I believe much hyperventilating also around all star weekend this year.
See the NBA as an example of what happens when you put an inferior product on the floor for too long. Eventually interest wanes and people stop caring. Not saying it will fold completely, but it runs the risk of becoming a shell of itself.
They need to find a way to rebalance like 6 of the top conferences back to some kind of regional alignment. Probably impossible with all the tv deals and whatnot, but having 18 team national super conferences is not sustainable.
I think the copium on Ben Johnson has worn off. Everyone knows at this point he was an abject failure, whether they are willing to admit that out loud or not. No logic used to defend him can withstand even the smallest levels of scrutiny.
3 options:
1) dead
2) gave up on college basketball after NIL came to fruition
3) too embarrassed to post in forum after defending Ben Johnson hire
Sad anyway you look at it
