In big games, the lead is never safe. When the other team makes their run, never do I feel like we're in control. It's a painful feeling.

At the end of the day the players he recruited arent what anybody thought they was.

And Grant has had the same amount of time Shula has had. However, Grant's only needed to recruit for 7 or so spots. Shula was expected to improve 75 players.

Yes, I think this is the key. With the smaller roster in hoops, there is a much smaller margin for error. When high 4 star and 5 star guys dont play to their billing, then expect to be disappointed...

I still think Grant has the program on the right track. The new kids coming in should fill some of the gaping holes we saw throughout this season as the youngsters already on the squad continue to develop...

I dont understand why our expectations are soo high? Our whole fricking roster was fricked up and MG had recruited nothing but Juco guys. The next years class he got 4 guys and Relly and the Swede are the only ones who stayed. Jason Carter wouldve been a stud for us. Then he just got Lacey and all of them plus Mitchell left. Not to mention none of these guys are doing what they did in high school. I think that Cooper and Lacey both averaged over 30 points per game. I think he has done pretty damn good.

Did I say that? Or are you just so simplistic that you wait til then end of the season to start talking basketball and base your absurd comparison strictly on NIT or NCAA?

criticizing and flat out saying fire him is totally different.

Criticism is fine. Thinking there is a legitimate argument to fire him at this point is laughable.
