We are lucky Romar even wants to coach here at all. Nobody else west of the Mississippi would want this POS job.

Not here to defend the merits of Romar as a coach, person, etc. but, the AD really needs to build a hoops specific facility, and are currently behind the curve on this. Two sports currently generate revenue at UW, and one hasn't really been addressed in a while. The arena is nice and kept up, but a players lounge or something specific for hoops would help. It's been in talks for what feels like years, but the AD /School has a bad reputation of not striking while the iron is hot.

The iron is not hot. Get a new coach, new atitude, and new facilities at the same time. Wasting on the current Coach would be a waste of time/money. IMO.huskyhooligan said:

Mitch had a nice little tidbit this morning regarding the fact that you have 3 high end basketball programs in the State of Iowa in the NCAA Tournament and that the smallest of the 3 schools is ranked #9 in the country. Was asking how that could be possible given that the State of Iowa on probably isn't a producer of high end basketball talent and that the high end talent that they do have are LEAVING to go to places like Kansas, North Carolina (Harrison Barnes), or other top end Big 10 schools?
Of course, this is another example of how coaching matters. -
If recruiting is already phenomenal, but player development is shitty, then I don't see how a players lounge will improve UW basketball,

Grinolds would tell you that's different and then stop respondingTequilla said:Mitch had a nice little tidbit this morning regarding the fact that you have 3 high end basketball programs in the State of Iowa in the NCAA Tournament and that the smallest of the 3 schools is ranked #9 in the country.

Danny O'Neill says you're wrong and uses Brandon Roy's "development" as an example.DerekJohnson said:If recruiting is already phenomenal, but player development is shitty, then I don't see how a players lounge will improve UW basketball,

Both Utah and Oregon State just built new basketball specific facilities, and both have pretty good classes coming in. Kentucky built an amazing one a few years ago. Other schools are doing it too. This should have been done years ago. Even Wazzu has a hoops specific facility. Building a facility tells recruits you are investing in hoops, regardless of the coach.

Winning is what tells recruits you are invested in the BB program. And as long as romar is the coach, the likelihood of that happening ain't very high.huskyhooligan said:Both Utah and Oregon State just built new basketball specific facilities, and both have pretty good classes coming in.
