All of a sudden, with 3/4 20 win seasons, we as fans are expecting to be some powerhouse

I don't agree with that at all. Nobody thinks we're supposed to be a "powerhouse", but we're damn sure capable of getting better results than we are. I think most of our fans with fairly reasonable expectations would like to see some combination of the following:

-Make the NCAAT once every 3/4 years. This is a box that Fox can technically check off since he has done that, but it's worth nothing that with teams that he himself recruited he has 1 appearance in the last 6 years.
-If we make the tourney, just win 1 game! Fox has not done that.
-If we can't make the tourney and settle for the NIT, at least make a run. Fox has never won more than 1 NIT game. In 2 of this 3 NIT losses we were the higher seeded team.

It is not a stretch at all to expect the above. We aren't still feeling the Harrick sanctions. We aren't still dealing with Felton's shortcomings. We have aboslutely nothing to blame our shortcomings on other than the current coach, period.

Nobody is expecting us to be elite.
