1. Fans are part of the problem and have to be more committed and involved in the hype. Big Blue Madness needs to be hype again. Fans need to do better. Oh and it will cost more $$.
2. Facilities are part of the problem and UK has to be more committed and involved to improve them. Oh and it will cost more $$.
3. Attitudes about NBA draft day and kids not playing but rather using UK need to improve - don't be mean to the "kids", handlers, parents and certainly not the coach, all who lied for months. Your word and accountability are for losers.
Gold Standard = Hype and Shiny new objects to distract from an actual Gold Standard of say... winning conference seasons, conference tournaments and NCAA games, dominating competition, maintaining/building on historical records, maintaining/building on decades long records. Tradition is outdated/overrated. Gold Standard is your responsibility not the head coach's. Gold Standard is all about image vs results. Gold Standard is players first/NBA draft and UK is an afterthought. AND - it's about costing someone else more $$ - always. Coaching, maintaining high level standards and winning are not the problem... the problem is other stuff.
He's lost, at minimum, a decent percentage of the fanbase and he is going back to his tired bag of tricks to try to fix it. Talk, throw other peoples money at it ("why not if they're dumb enough to keep throwing money at it - hell I am making 9-10 M a year with the results I've had - LOL!"), and of course blame anything/anyone other than himself. So over this guy.
