I am young, so I don't know for sure. But in that Arkansas basketball piece about Nolan a few years back didn't Nolan or the narrator say people were getting impatient with him right before he took off?

To paraphrase Nolan "Once you build the monster, you have to feed the monster" and he had one tall order.

Yes, but the impatience was centered more around philosophy not results.
The same people were satisfied with Sutton, even if he was handing out scholarships based on coke connections, even with the decline the program was under with him.
Why? Because he played the game how they thought it should be played, not the ratball Nolan brought.
Same reason why some will never accept CBB or any coach similar to him, because his offense doesn't fit how they envision the game should be played.
Same reason why these same fans accept DVH's mediocrity and make excuses for him and his staff taking years off in recruiting.

"See, my great-great-grandfather came over on the ship, I didn't," he said. "And I don't think you understand what I'm saying. My great-great-grandfather came over on the ship. Not Nolan Richardson.
"I did not come over on that ship, so I expect to be treated a little bit different," he said. "Because I know for a fact that I do not play on the same level as the other coaches around this school play on. I know that. You know it. And people of my color know that. And that angers me."
He said Tuesday in an interview with the host of his television show that social life "is not that good for a black athlete" in Fayetteville. He said the characterization might not sound right, but that Arkansas is a "place that they come to play basketball or come to play football."
When you say things like this right around national signing day for football...... you become expendable. Football will always be king here.
