I haven't read it, have no idea who wrote it, and I'm already a little worried...

Not to worry...he told both sides to the story.

I think it goes a long way in pointing out how a single fanbase can seem so divided at times while still ALL wanting the same results.

[Da Coach]

The article was great. Fair and balanced, not dwelling solely on negatives, and not overlooking issues like the injuries that have hampered key players every season, and subpar facilities.

I would like to see Coach get an extension....3-5 years. Lets REALLY see what he can do now that things (resource wise) seem to be in place.

Question though...IF for some reason we falter this year and fall below general expectations would that happen ?

Could he survive another 16-15, 5th place EIEIO?

Lets hope we don't have to find out.

I don't think so. 4th and an NIT? Maybe.

Several posters thoughts were also shared... Good article, I thought.,..

I hope the new assistants here can make a similar impact that new assistants on the Illinois football program did. I have much higher expectations for BU basketball than I do Illini football, but a similar improvement with new coaches would be nice.

[amckillip]

It was solid, but not great IMO. I think it would have been, but I think I just follow BU too closely. I look for news or insight I haven't heard, that wasn't it. Good summary of message board opinions, but not much more than that to me. I honestly like DR's other article better.

Exactly. I think he told the facts. This season will be an interesting one for sure.

Yes if we can hold teams under 70 points like the Illini did against Meechegan will should do ok.
