Ya know, I'd almost care if we weren't rebuilding from a terrible sequence of years with little talent to build on. I'd be much much more disappointed in my new coach if he inherited one of the most talented teams in the country and fell on his face in the NCAAT to be honest.

Umm, AP National Coach of the Year Award and a finalist in the James Naismith National Coach of the Year award also. He beat out Calapari and Izzo in the AP Coaches award. I guess I have a hard time saying I'm disappointed in Haith when he sports some hardware like that. I'm more disappointed in the players last year in that game than anything to do with the coaching. Haith could have easily took the road Anderson did last year and just not coach the players he inherited only to wait for some of his own recruits to try and make a run the following year. But Haith did not. He adapted to the players he took over and did the best he could with what he had, unlike Anderson.
