I believe a coach who actually knows how to build a program can.
Maybe try hiring a coach with at least some experience and a proven track record next time.

You get what you put into the program.

Administration has invested in the football program. For whatever reason they have decided that investing in the basketball program at the same level is not worth it.

This goes farther than who the coach is.

Agree, but that investment includes hiring a proven coach

Moderate success was Richard Pitino.

PJ can probably coach his football players to be better basketball players than the basketball coach can coach basketball players.

Moderate success was Richard Pitino.

Moderate success is winning 40-50% of your conference games. Clem Haskins won just under 50%. Tubby Smith won 43%. Dan Monson won 39%.

Richard Pitino won 34%. That's not moderate success, it's bad.

Ben Johnson has won 25% and that % is likely to drop this year. That's just pathetic.
