Somehow UW wets the bed at home to Wazzu, would they be in danger of missing the NIT?

That sad part is that I don't think it changes anything. If nobody has the balls to fire romar after a 5th missed tourney and yet another team crumbling before your eyes, losing to wazzu won't be any type of back breaker. It will merely solidify that ernesto has a better resume than romar.
Getting this one 5 star player in for one year is more important than the future of the program
most nba players without college success ever!
I think Brandon Roy was expected to be good, but he even exceeded expectations while healthy. Isaiah Thomas and Nate Robinson were good at UW, but I'd say they exceeded expectations as well in the NBA.
Doogs think that Romar prepared these guys to be solid NBA players. Those in the know think that Romar held them back, and once they landed with a "Real" coach, lived up to their true potential.
As a UW fan I'd much rather have a coach that wins than develops NBA talent so this isn't some "keep Romar cause NBA" doogasm. But everyone of those players far exceeded expectations at UW and in the NBA. I think Romar had something to do with that. Especially since there are plenty of other guards who exceeded expectations at UW and really only one who failed to reach them (Gaddy).
Conversely, the doog playbook of NBA players is beyond ridiculous. Romar is paid to win NCAA games, not prepare players for the NBA. If for some reason they do better in the pro's than by god that's a positive, however who would you rather be, Michigan state or UW? Another UW(wisconsin) or the huskies? Just a couple teams who rarely have high end NBA talent but regularly find their way deep in the ncaa's. College is about coaching and getting kids to fit a system. Romar doesn't have a system, nor does he have the ability to change during games.
presidents and regents who are more interested in winning the racial/gender equality game than the game on the field or the court, then the best you can hope for is mediocrity which is exactly what Romar delivers. The only thing a sane Husky fan can do is vote with your feet and stop giving them money for a shit product. It's encouraging to see that this has happened with both football and basketball game attendance.
Anybody that can't see at this point that at this point Romar's just cashing those damn checks and regardless of whether or not he has that fire in his belly to win or not deserves Owen-27 or whatever a full basketball season of losses is worth.
