    So you are claiming UW sucks at hoops because the 3 coaches before Romar were various forms of bad hires that were never head coaches at a D1 or NBA level going forward as indicative that this is a shit program?

    Let's not forget that Bender was a rebound away from an Elite 8 appearance and had done a decent job turning the program around until he pissed off the local AAU scene ...

    Let's not forget that Romar had strong success by keeping the local talent home and recruiting has never really been the issue.

    It's all coaching here ... get the right coach and this program can be very, very strong ...

    Nobody is saying that the UW program needs to be better than UCLA or Arizona ... but there's also no reason why this program can't be at a level where it is consistently in position to make the NCAAs ... no reason to say 6 straight years of missing the NCAAs is acceptable

    I can only speak for myself. This year, pregame Oregon we ran into LoRo and a buddy of his while they were cruising the Autzen parking lot.

    I said, "Hey, LoRo" he waived, smiled and said, "Hey" as he kept walking. I thought, What a great guy.

    You completely miss the point as usual. We are saying the program sucks because it does. Nobody is saying that it can't be good. Not hard to realize the difference. Good coaches win, bad coaches lose. UW with the right coach will win. What an observation dumb ass.

    UW has won 5 conference championship since 1953. You're using Bob Bender as an example of a coach doing a decent job. But how is this a historically weak program?

    If Arizona can be a powerhouse in basketball, then so can Washington.

    If it is realistic to think UW can compete for Pac-12 championships in football every year and have a legitimate shot at a national title at least once a decade, the same is realistic to expect for hoops.

    Romar should have been ass-door-out six years ago. There is no winning culture whatsoever and very few are demanding it. The mere fact that there is any kind of argument that Romar should come back next year is the only proof you need that UW is a pussy school when it comes to basketball.

    Fuck, WSU expects more out of their hoops program than UW does.

    It's Door.Ass.Out.

    Agree otherwise

    Doog new narrative, parroted from their leader:

    We can't hire a successful mid major coach because it's easy to get to the tournament in their current conference. If he comes to the PAC-12, it's more difficult to make the tournament, so why would he come here?

    It conveniently eliminates a good portion of candidates

    Until you point out the vast majority of mid-majors will only get a ticket to the tourney if they WIN their conference which in the power 5 is not the case.
