Of course we have, but you act like Dixon should come in here and have no excuses for losing to teams that are nationally prominent when we've never really been a basketball school and have almost no tradition. It's never been our focus. We lost to a team that beat KU by 40 in Lubbock last year and and played for the national title. They beat WVU by double digits this year.
This is a rough season, but we were picked to finish dead last and have actually played above expectations. As ugly as last night was lets see what the team brings to Kansas State. Dixon didn't suddenely turn into a sucky coach. I bet he'll have them looking like a different team this weekend.
I‘m not saying I’m right here, just stating where I’m at with it.
I’m absolutely saying he should be at the very minimum, competitive in every single game he coaches. Period.
Winning is darn near secondary at this point. Just be competitive.
He has facilities, he has a high recruiting budget, if I remember correctly he’s paid top 30% of coaches in all of college basketball. M millions, to produce. It’s just the expectation that comes with that, in my opinion. It’s not like he just got off the plane here. Year 5.
And with the basketball landscape now on a year to year basis, recruit better, coach better. Don’t land a national tv spot and get your ship pushed in by an in state conference foe.
And now we’re looking at the ninth team in the conference as the benchmark for improvement? Are you saying that to see if he’s lost the team? I’m not sure I’m following. Serious question.
