A few things should be readily apparent to even the most outspoken romar supporter.
1) Bill walton is still entertaining and annoying all wrapped into one.
2) I get all the excuses people want to use, but look at the UW roster. AA has no reason to be playing starter minutes in the pac12. Kemp is a decent 4 but certainly shoudn't start. JJ wasn't good whether he's playing or not, so people really need to stop using that excuse. NWG is a solid player but watching him last night should open the eyes to all the NBA talk. We have zero bench b/c of wasted schollies on Gilex, Winters, Taylor(who left), darrin johnson, etc. This roster construction has one architect.
3) Anyone who follows college bball knows that in rare cases do freshman make major contributions to a team. It's very rare for a frosh to carry a team, let alone 4. And really, does it matter when the person running the ship is not a good game coach anyway?
4) Ben Howland was fired after 3 final fours. 3! He went to ncaa 7 out of 10 years, including his last year. If UW wants to get serious, go get him and see what he can do after UCLA. He may have had some hiccups toward the end, but it's time for him to come back and I would wager his recruiting ties in socal and history will get a lot of run. At least we know our team will play defense again.

It's amazing they haven't already done that. Men's Bball is the only form where it's that long. The ladies play with a 30 and everyone else in the world plays with 24.
It's kind of a moot point. He needs to go. I was on the fence after the 2012 season. Now it's very apparent to most. Popular opinion has turned on him.
As for the frosh comment. Frosh aren't dominate, they are role players except for a very small few. Maybe 10 in the country actually will be 1st team all conference. My point is that we may have one of them, but if you're counting on 4 to save a team next year you're bat shit crazy.
I'd love to see nate come back to ball. Add roy or conroy to your staff if either ever has interest in being in the coaching game, start molding them into the coach of the future. There is a real play for an AD with balls.
I'd rather stick hot needles into my eyeballs.
