It's sad watching him play against the Spurs. He literally does nothing but run to the corner and pray someone passes it to him for a 3. None of his teammates look interested in giving him the rock. He just does nothing.

Romar has had some pretty successful NBA players. Of all the things to criticize him for, getting guys to the NBA and their success isn't it.
Romar's not a good coach, but Ross is one of the worst examples of that IMO.
You could run through a laundry list of guys that have gone through Duke that have had lengthy NBA careers from solid rotational guys for 10+ years to guys that have been multiple time All-Stars.
When it comes to Romar, outside of BRoy, who has Romar produced that has been an All-Star caliber player? He's got a few guys that will be long-term rotational guys in the league like Nate, IT, QPon, Ross (possibly), and a couple of 1 and done types in Hawes and Wroten (maybe). It's not like that's a sterling resume of NBA caliber players.
I'm really torn on what to think of Ross as a player ... I like his skill set but I never thought he had the killer instinct when he was in college and I don't see it in the NBA ... at least on a consistent basis. I feel like he's more just happy to be there than anything else.
You completely missed the point.The point was that I don't care if every UW player is a bust in the NBA as long as the program wins.
I could care less what romar's guys have done in the nba. I do care the guy can't get a team to the ncaa's or recruit at all, and everyone stands around and makes every excuse on god's green earth b/c he's not an asshole. Thank jesus for nice people. Sign me up.
That's what i was noticing, him just standing in the corner, being ignored by teammates, and being okay with it.
Of the guys on the list you threw up there, Williams and Hurley had their careers derailed because of injuries sustained off the court. Danny Ferry had a 13 year career. And in fairness, when you look back at the 1989 NBA Draft, it is pretty easy to argue that 7 or 8 out of the top 10 picks weren't that great. It just wasn't a good draft. Langdon was what he was ... and he had a solid international career. Williams was another guy that wasn't great ... but had a relatively decent NBA career as a backup (7 years) ... another draft that was fairly top heavy where there was a massive lack of bigs in the draft of quality. And Parks was a guy that had a 10 year NBA career.
Many of the guys that you mentioned were guys that would rank high on the list of guys that Romar's put into the NBA.
