I just don’t understand how UGA is and aside from a single final 4 season, has always been so terrible at basketball.
I will take a stab at this. I honestly believe the proximity to blue blues and traditional well established programs sucks up a bunch of in-state talent.
The Atlanta metro area along usually produces SEC level basketball players. The AAU circuit is a monster in Atlanta but you have to get to those kids early and establish relationships. Basketball is the totally opposite from football you rarely see last minute flips.

In a sign of how bad things have gotten for K-State basketball, strength coach Ben O'Donnell tore his Achilles yesterday and had to have surgery today. The team bus also broke down before the game. Some coaches walked to the arena. Not sure how they're getting to the airport.
Things have not been going well for Bruce Weber since the Kira situation.

Knoxville is closer to those blue blood programs and has more historical success than UGA does in basketball.
I have no explanation on why UGA struggles in basketball. Even Hugh Durham struggled there, and he took them to the Final 4 in the early 80's. I don't think Tom Crean is a good fit there, but he's not the only one that has struggled there.
