Bender and Nance only had 1 season under 10 wins total. In Bender's first year. Romar did that in his last year.
Washington AD Jen Cohen’s decision to fire head coach Lorenzo Romar is a bad choice and one that has a better-than-reasonable chance to send the program back to Lynn Nance / Bob Bender kind of levels.
The best part is that he got absolutely roasted in the comments. He's written some good pieces, like the one on why this year's team could be considered a failure, but there have also been some laughably bad takes. This is one.

We finally have the answer to the age old question of how dumb do you have to be before the uwdp commenters will actually criticize you.
Results matter during the NCAA Season, not NBA draft slot, not recruiting rankings. What a thought, a coach who resides in the world of building a team who wins for the fucking job he's hired for.
This isn't anywhere near saying he's on this level, but i love that he's building a system like boheim or izzo. You build a defense and an offense to win in college and once in a while you get a top end guy who makes it big, but your job is to win in college. Romar and his moronic fans had it backwards. They wanted huge recruiting rankings and then prop up NBA results. Wrong fucking order. Especially when you watch top talent not even be able to execute out of bounds plays.
"Most coachesLorenzo Romar can't take a base roster of average talents and turn them into contenders"
I actually like reading posthumous articles about how Cohen had made a devastating mistake. The ability of this town to settle for mediocrity or to reward past success in the face of current failure is numbing. Watching change for the chance of greater reward pay off immediately pleases me more than I thought it would.

My favorite part is the Monty Hall analogy where he ridicules firing Romar as akin to switching to door #3.
You always switch when given the chance dumbfuck that is what the Monty Hall problem is famous for!

"The only relevant question was whether or not it is in the best interests of the program to blow it up or to build it up."
In summary, Romar did not deserve to be the coach because of his failures but I'm not sure if we should fire him because of his failures.
Couldn't get very far.
