UW basketball ?

Yes, it sucks by any measure. The Husky men's BB team is once again looking forward to an NIT first round elimination. And as the 2014 season winds down, we try to avoid watching Romar's hapless crew on the court while keeping an eye on his recruiting struggles. There never seems to be as much hope for improvement as there is a wish for drastic program change....... somehow, someday.
What is the problem? Why can't basketball at Montlake catch fire? Is it anything other than the product on the court? Facilities, travel, lack of local talent, etc? UW round-ballers compete in probably the laziest major conference in the NCAA and yet, the Huskies seem like they are every year trying to out-lazy everybody else in the Pac-12 except possibly Arizona or a California school. Blaming membership in a weak basketball conference seems lame for shouldn't it be more logical that the Pac-12 offers a wide open opportunity for any member school to light a fire in it's belly and dominate?
Forget about the questions and look at the obvious. Coach Romar is far from getting the job done and needs to go and it makes no sense to waste time rationalizing why. That was probably cast-in-concrete when he failed to advance his program beyond the two Sweet-16 rounds he coached the Huskies to years back. Woodward must focus on budgeting the money for hiring a new coach and this time make it enough to get the best basketball mind, mentor, and recruiter money can buy. UW must do a Lute Olson and "steal" a coach with staff away from one of the hot-beds of basketball in the East, Mideast, Southeast, etc. UW can't continue to play lazy West Coast basketball and expect to put a product on the court worth getting excited about.

If he doesn't win the Doog of the week then Boobs is fucking up.
His best teams the 2005 and 2006 team had only one white guy in the rotation and he cost us a final four.
Rest my case.
You're actually forgetting Appleby, who contributed to that collapse himself.
Brockman was also on the 2006 team but the only white guy in the rotation on the #1 seeded team was Jensen.
The only white players worth a damn in the Romar era were Brockman and Hawes.
