"throughout most of those years, this has been a losing team"

Frank, Yes we have had a lot of losing seasons in the last 25 (not 33). But not the last 3, and very few MAAC losing seasons under TOT.... incase you did not notice. Yes, we still need to improve and reach the ultimate goal of a MAAC Championship and NCAA berth.

Your tired of losing because of poor recruiting and poor coaching...... and you imply that you are a better fan because you are tired of losing, than and others that are settling for mediocrity and they are the problems with the program. I don't think so. Hey, I can set the goal that Fairfield should win the NCAA Championship every year.... does that make me a better fan, does demanding an NCAA Championship mean we will get there any faster????

BTW nobody probably demands more of the program than TOT. I doubt that many of you out there would schedule a tough schedule like he has with your job on the line. What did everyone expect how we would do vs G-town without Maxwell and MOS. Be realistic.

And how can we have both poor recruiting and poor coaching and still finish in the top 3 in the MAAC the 3 last years. We have got to be doing something right.

Despitely modestly good years in 2 of the last 3 (do you think 15-15 with an NPA quality Big Man is a good year?),
I'd like to remind you there are no MAAC championships, no NCAA games. Not one significant win.
Do you think programs like Villanova, or BC or Providence got to where they are by finding the 'silver lining' in a 1-6 team? (Did you note that Central CT beat St Francis by 15 at St. Francis, while Providence and Iowa haven't won a game since they beat us?)Our schedule has NOT been that tough.
Where are those of you that were predicting a winning season this year? Why are you wrong year after year with your predictions?
This club is awful. The coach and coaching staff could have seen these problems 12-18 months before now (like a few of us did) and did nothing about it.
Many of the people who were critical of this program no longer post here ... They have become indifferent. I still care, although- I must admit- not as much as I used to.
Somebody around here (the Athletic Director...yea, the AD) has got to start demanding some excellence in this basketball program. Maybe someday, going to AHY will be an exciting experience. Right now, its a dreadful one.
