It must have been quite a rush and it also explains what expectation set you come from. Understood completely.
I do find it interesting, however, watching fans over the years just rip the crap out of their coaches or not rip them based on certain things.
Bill Cowher was "not a good coach" until one day in January last year "he became one" apparently.
Jim Boeheim was not a good coach until April of 2003....if you read their message boards yesterday, he was again not a good coach but you read them tonight and apparently in the last 24 hours he became a great coach again.
Rick Pitino last year was a bad coach, most of this year was a bad coach, and now I read he is one of the best...I guess these guys are all taking magical elixirs.
The list is endless.
The point remains that we have 3 sophs, 1 freshman and 1 junior starting for a team that looks like it is heading to the NCAA tournament again this year and should be setup for another trip next year. It is competing at a very high level, a level we haven't competed at since the 1970's quite frankly.
The sure notion that someone even came up with a "Crean's gotta go" is really beyond any rational conversation. This is a guy that has been named for the IU job, UI job, Kentucky job, MSU job, etc, etc...that doesn't happen by accident.
I remember O'Neill saying something to some of us about how our fans can be so overbearing it's incredible. Unfortunately fans are like that at every school, but it really makes you wonder if he wasn't that far off.
