If that’s the case, the Valley is going to constantly churn through coaches. The ones who Dance immediately get poached by P5s, while the ones who don’t are shown the door after 3-4 years.Riffing off what Mel and Cubird have said. The main reason this good coach and good person was fired is because they did not make The Tournament. Leonard said it himself. I hate it for Mullins, but I understand it and I respect that clear line in the sand.
So whaddya think? In our league, every coach is hired to get the team to The Dance. What's the line? 3 years, 4 years, 5 years? Is that fair? What if you run a successful program but don't achieve a NCAA bid?
Adding Murray and Belmont may have exacerbated this if Indiana State gets left out, as there will now be eleven disgruntled fan bases at the end of every season.
In thinking that adding the best of the OVC would up the conference’s profile, The Valley more likely created the best one-bid league possible.
