First, of all the players who would NOT transfer if there's a coaching change, it's Gabe and Daniel.
Second, if I'm Coyle and i make a change, i do more than just switch that piece and hope for the best. I would do a more comprehensive analysis of the situation and at least look into whether there are structural issues that make it overly difficult to compete in men's basketball here. Talk to a bunch of people including former coaches, players past and present and their families, people in the local basketball community, etc. Self examine whether there's anything the athletic department and administration can do differently to make things easier or more possible for the next coach. Give Sid at least the benefit of the doubt when he claims that these things might just have something to do with things and that, as he claims, UW had the same issues until Donna S. came in and put their coaches and administrators in a better position to succeed. We might find out that there are no issues and that we've just kissed a few frogs in the last 20 years. But look into it earnestly and thoroughly.
Consider the possibility that Clem was such an extraordinary coach that he succeeded in spite of any of these potential factors. And/or that these hypothetical factors drove him buggy and drove him to get lazy or desperate and cut corners.
