  • This was bad this year. Losing 8 of the last 9 games is bad. This was the second 20-loss season in three years. I don't care that we got one win in the 7/10 first round game. That was cosmetic. We lost three games this year to interim coaches. Half of our roster can't even average 3 points per game. Most on the roster never get in the game for any type of significant minutes.

    Are we going to retain our coach based on this? What is the standard for this program? That is all I ask.

  • The standard is if and when the corporate ticket buyers and large donors bitch and moan.
    In memory of Dr Daniel P Babb who taught so much to so many.

    He likes being the man in charge but he can't love basketball and act the way he does.  He may love the thought of basketball but not the work it takes to be good at it.

  • I don't ever see Dan retiring himself. It will have to be up to the administration to say enough is enough at some point.

    I agree. Seen too many men his age that just can't hang it up. Most of them either have a fear of dying, or have nothing else to do. In almost every circumstances, they had to be pushed out and it wasn't pretty.

    Unless DD decides to retire, which he should do

    Looks to me that he has enough juice to come back

  • Right now, the standard is to have a losing record, blame anyone but yourself and be classless when you lose. At least that's what it seems for basketball.

  • It a good thing he enjoys the highs and lows. If he just enjoyed the highs he would be pretty joyless.

    Yep.  Unless the folks writing six figure checks start to complain, nothing will happen.

  • Unfortunately, Danny didn't finish his statement, at least out loud:  "I love basketball . . . . " but just can't coach it at the Division 1 level!
