Men’s basketball gets a verbal commitment from Mikeal Brown-Jones

So are you using Pitt’s firing of Wanny as a model of how we should treat our basketball program? How has firing Wanny worked out for Pitt? If anything it shows that teams who are “non-elite” in a particular sport have to be very patient and build a strong foundation, have realistic expectations and not change coaches every few years. Coaching changes are much more likely to cripple a program than help it.

Just a poor analogy to use. Analogies are weak to start. Hard to avoid using them though.

And how does that cause him to finish a game or two over .500 this year?

I don't follow??

You’re talking about what he inherited hurts his overall win/loss record, but his record this year is likely going to suck so how did what he inherited affect that? He’s eight years away from what he inherited, so he shouldn’t go backwards this year.

Nice to have BUT until he signs, it isn't closed.
