An Instant Classic from The CEO

I don't consider him dumb, but in my non-expert opinion (I haven't watched much UW basketball in recent years), my belief is that with Bone and Dollar as assistants he had a perfect symbiosis, and was able to maximize the talent. Once those guys left, he didn't hire adequate replacements, and that's why we've had such poor strategizing and fundamentals since then.

He never maximized the talent he had. His best teams lost to practically all teams they faced with more talent. With Bone and Dollar he had Nate Robinson, who was an NBA starter and had a decade long career and Roy, who was an NBA All Star and he still couldn't get past the sweet sixteen. If he had maximized that talent, he would have done something significant with it.

There is no legacy if he is fired after this year. I think Romar is trying to survive next year by piecing together another great class. A middle Pac 12 finish and another good class and Romar is the coach for another year. Then he might make a tourney and will be able to stay until retirement or until the next 3-4 year drought.Doogles said:Roman giving the cold shoulder to any top 100 player in the area seems suicidal considering one of the main arguments for keeping him is keeping the local talent at home.
Something about this seems strange all around. Having a dad come to a message board seems like a high maintenance overly involved family presence.
I'm sure it's a headache to recruit, but At the end of the day, if he can play when the ball is rolled out you need to make an effort.
Romar is dangerously close to tarnishing his legacy if it comes out he already threw in the white towel and is just cashing checks.
He needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat in a bad way or this will go down as lesson 101 on how not to leave with dignity.
Seriously embarrassing shit surrounding the men's bball program.
Romar is lazy. I'm don't know dick, but there really isn't another answer. He missed out on the big guns and had no realistic fall back plans. Sounds pretty lazy to me. I think now he's actually trying to remedy the situation, but it is likely too late. From 2010-2014, yeah he was essentially cashing checks.

If it was Bone and Dollar that made Romar a success, was he ever really a success at all?

I completely disagree with this theory.

If anyone is responsible for Romar's earlier success it was Nate Robinson, Brandon Roy, Jon Brockman and Isaiah Thomas, not a couple of mediocre assistants. -

The top talent carried roll ball, not assistants that went on to do jack shit once they got HC jobs. -

That's because his only real skill was as an OL coach. He was carried by excellent talent as an OC, but wasn't exposed until he made HC.DerekJohnson said:

He wass a hell of an OL coach though. -
After failing as a head coach, Gilby came back as an OC and helped lead the 2000 Huskies to the Rose Bowl championship, and every player I interviewed on that team gave him massive credit for their success.dnc said:

I give Gilby massive success for the dominating OL on that team. I give Tui and RN credit for success of the offense though. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't RN call the plays?
