By a person with deep roots and knowledge of men's hoops, and what it can do to raise a university's profile. Any attempt by others to "raise the profile" of men's hoops was worse than pulling teeth. That's what the "bashing" is all about. That's all you need to know.

Exactly. Basketball, both men's and women's suffered on the lowest rung of the ladder @ W&M. It is the sport with the greatest upside and potential at W&M. It's elevation will elevate the College's image. I look forward to the day I'll not cringe 6-8 times in March watching the NCAA's on national tv or get the standard dismissal when engaging in sports talk with those from other institutions.
