Maybe you can tell us since you’re the expert on these programs. Did they have freshmen or JUCO recruits signed by the previous regime who ended up staying? That’s obviously something Pedon didn’t as Muller signed nobody.The sensitivity on this board is out of control. Every question that gets asked is a personal attack on all things Redbird Basketball. I asked why other first-year coaches are having success and we aren't. In the context of the year, I don't see how that isn't something fans would want to know.
I guess my definition of success and yours might be a little different. Let’s take Milwaukee. Sure, the Panthers are 18-10, but they also just lost to a 3-26 Green Bay team, a bottom five D1 team. In addition, they just got plastered by a 14-15 Robert Morris team in their most recent game.
Would Milwaukee be 18-10 and be having “success” if they played in the Valley?
I don’t think so either.
Fairleigh-Dickinson? They are 16-13 and behind the basketball powers of Stonehill
And Merrimack in the Northeast. There are two teams with winning records in the league. It’s the worst conference in the country.
I’ll give ya Ball State. Fairly impressive team and season. They also were a near .500 team and had a much better returning roster situation.
You can compare this stuff on your end with your data, but the unfortunate thing for you, is there are counterpoints to the argument as well.
