    Since Les was the gold standard and so unjustly fired, I will evaluate Geno along the same line. He has 2 more seasons of practice to turn in sub-500 finishes and 1st round MVC tourney exits, before I expect to see us put up at least 3 post-season (NCAA or NIT) wins in 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. Assuming he gets those wins (better be at least 5 if only NIT invites) by then, I will give him a grace period of 4 seasons to do as he pleases. But I won't curve for bad luck, injuries or recruiting misses. And bonus points if he finishes above 4th place in MVC.

    Seriously though, KW nailed it right on the head: BU is in the middle of a rebuilding project, fans hate hearing that, and it's still going to be a few years before we can expect any return to the prominence of the past. It's a tough pill to swallow, but that's simply the way it is. At least Geno looks like he is making progress.
    I'll curve him for injuries just I like did with Les. Perhaps who have heard of the other team having injury problems lately. The Bulls look like a team that doesn't even belong in the playoffs, and apparently Tom Thibodeau has forgotten how to coach. Maybe we should fire him for "underachieving" in the playoffs too!

      That first part was sarcasm. KW writes a spring column offering no new info and mostly personal anecdotes and says we're in the middle of rebuilding and gunna stink this year (duh), then instantly, it's a huge topic on the board and everyone gets into the whole Les exodus arguments again. Meanwhile Reynolds puts us 8th in his early MVC predictions and I don't think I saw anyone mention that. So that was just an attempt at some dry humor about the situation.

        In your scenario, "Thibodeau" becomes the GM and has responsibility for getting players. When "Rose" and "Noah" go down, the "Bulls" crash to a last place finish and become the Charlotte Bobcats.

            Don't tell me he didn't sit on his side of the aisle.

              The difference he would tell you where he stood and why when he did, which was not quite often he chose a side.

              Chico when he chose a side it was because he felt it was the right thing and history does find his choices very deserving. (i.e. civil rights, and the bombing of Cambodia come to light as area he spoke for and against respectively.) Can you tell me anywhere he gave his personal side to a story that was not part of the consciousness of the American people and where we needed to take a deep look. The 60s-70s were some real heady times and I'd have to believe he delivered.

                His side of the story was his opinion. I lived those years and believe me, I didn't need some newsman telling me how to think.

                • NBC College Basketball Gives Bradley and Geno Props

                  Geno Ford??™s Bradley program in a better spot heading into year two

                  Upon taking over at Bradley last spring, head coach Geno Ford realized that there was a lot of work to be done with a program that hadn't accomplished much since a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2006.

                  Sure enough that??™s what happened as the Braves finished last in the Missouri Valley, going 7-25 (2-16 MVC) overall and losing 11 of their final 12 games...

                    OT this is... But just for clarification, I had a post after this which was deleted that pretty much explained that my comments were a tongue-in-cheek remark to bring things to the middle as a result of comments from previous posts.

                    Back to our regularly scheduled program.
