This is an interesting discussion. I am not 100% certain where I stand on Keatts' legacy. On the court, I'm certainly appreciative of all that he accomplished and the quality young men he recruited here.

My only complaint regarding the Keatts' praise is the constant comparison between he and McGrath. The reminders that Keatts had a better record his inaugural season, or that Keatts would do better with this team are tiresome. CB inherited different circumstances (we can all agree that the circumstances were different), some better and some worse. If some people have differing opinions on Keatts' legacy, I can live with that. Nation's analogy to an ex-girlfriend seemed to be appropriate. Keatts has moved on. He has a new bride (even if she's ugly as hell) and they seem to happy together.

Tony Sporano said "remember when" is the worst form of flattery. Keatts isn't coming back, and we likely only have 2-3 games left with Talley and Bryan. I'd rather focus on the CAA tournament than "remember when" nostalgia. As much as I was looking forward to analyzing hand sizes and junk worshiping this off season, I hope we can focus on the direction of the program. We have a good group of guys that can be the next piece to our already solid tradition.
