    Consistent winners in big time basketball are dirty. Real dirty. uw boosters only seem to care about football. It's easy to be good at basketball as you really only need a few at one time to dominate. If our fan base cared more we would be good. They don't so we aren't that good. With a better coach we could be a little better but the top recruits 9/10 times are going to zona and ucla or out of conference.

    Someone finally gets it.

    Ever spend time in Tucson? The local sports page is all about UA basketball. Even during football season, basketball still gets a fair amount of coverage. It's what they are about and what they spend their time, money and attention on. Just as the Big East did. They made a decision..

    For you Fucktards/doogs that think UW just needs the right coach to be a basketball as well as a football school, you will be waiting a very very long time. I think the clock is getting close to 100 years of being irrelevant on the national level...I'm sure it's about to turn around,,,just.get.the.right.coach.

    I wasn't around during that time but they did have that much attention towards basketball prior to Olson's arrival? They are into basketball now because Olson built them into a basketball powerhouse which they weren't before.

    Prior to his arrival it's not like they had hidden advantages like location or tradition either.

    If UW were to hire a young Lute Olson or John Calipari or Jim Boeheim do you really believe UW wouldn't be a basketball power either?

    With the right coach this past decade they could have. Having a player like a Brandon Roy until his senior year is very rare. I'm sure there are a number of coaches who could have turned a Brandon Roy squad into a FF team.

    To have three years of Isaiah Thomas while having Brockman for a year, Pondexter for two, Ross/Wilcox was on the third I'm sure there a number of coaches who could have produced better than only one sweet 16.

    To have Ross/Wroten/Wilcox on a team and not make the NCAA's at all same with the Brockman/Hawes/Pondexter team I'm sure a number of better coaches could have produced more from that.

    In the past decade UW is actually up there in producing NBA players so they've had the talent just haven't had the coach to get them through.

    Romar is in the Ty Willingham phase of coaching -early retirement! 16 hour days are LONG GONE in Romar ' s world. Fire that worthless fuck and get a young motivated head coach who strives to be a champion. Otherwise .500 basketball will be the norm around Montlake.

    We all know the real reason why you want Romar gone. You have proven to like crappy coaches before but all of a sudden you want Romar gone? Hmmmmmmm

    Florida, Ohio State, Wisconsin over the past 20 years, Michigan, Texas, UCLA and Oklahoma to a degree. Michigan St lately

    Those are all examples of schools that are good in both sports. I don't expect Washington to make a F 4 every year or even every other year, but someone brought up Wisconsin. They are very consistent, and have made a few Final Fours. I don't get why Washington can't be up at that level. It's not like any school north of UCLA has a basketball tradition or some kind of stranglehold on talent.

    Make the final four every year? Or every other year? How about ever. Just once. Or maybe the fi al eight. Just once. I told you why Washington hasn't and won't be at that level. Think man. Or maybe with the right coach.....lol

    Doogs and moorainers have a lot in common when it comes to is basketball and the Mariners. Hope is a great strategy. 95 years and no end in sight. But I'm sure with just the right coach.....

    The best example IMO. Nobody will care about basketball until we start winning.

    Hopefully we get the right coach. 1920-2014 hasn't seen it it, but I'm sure it's about to happen.

    The best BB coach at a football school wins more than he loses, is generally likable by alumni and the community and doesn't poison the well for the football program.

    Romar is the perfect coach for Washington.
