We're not going to play dirty and its going to be tough.

this is you by mid page.

The fact that I know we aren't running a prostitution dorm (Louisville), a pre-NBA paid scout camp via WWW (UK) or running a massive, campus wide academic scandal(UNC) means I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth?
ah I see so it's only cheating if it's some crazy outrageous cheating scheme. Paying players isn't really cheating.....

I've also said we aren't getting a better, lower risk coach than him to stabilize our program.
well mike isn't exactly stabilizing us either. He maybe building something but i'm not sure what that is anymore. I'm in favor of 1 more year but after 6 years if we're still going to struggle to make any kind of post season play then we need to cut bait. it sucks and we might do worse but we might do better. The other option I see as completely realistic is to cut the basketball budget down and just give up.
something else to consider is while past searches have been shite shows I don't believe they were done while jeff long was on staff. Maybe you give him another shot to figure it out if this isn't working. The remedy for something that isn't working isn't to continue to do it, change is scary but at times you take that risk to embrace the possibility that you can do better.

Don't disagree with any of this. But I'm saying he's more than likely going to make the NCAAT next year and thus, won't be on the hot seat. If he doesn't then he def. should be and we should look to move in another direction.
And you're arguing semantics with the "cheating" shite.
We simply do not pull strings on the level that other "elite" programs do. Is that simple enough for you to agree with?
