Dukes84, you are a hoops junkie. Why do you say that hiring a good coach will likely lead to more bad seasons?

Just a few examples from JMU-
Lefty took over a program that has bad losing seasons in 2 of the 3 previous years with Thurston who was fired mid season.
Lefty goes 16-14 in year one and then wins the CAA regular season in year 2 with 20 wins.

Brady took over a program that had 8 consecutive losing seasons.
Year one he won 21 games.

The notion that we have to suffer 3 bad seasons to have a chance at one good season is wrong.

With regard to Lefty that immediate impact was definitely aided by bringing ACC talent with him in Steve Hood....there was literally nobody in the CAA that could guard him.
