True. It just surprises me that UCLA has fired their last 2 coaches - Lavin for going to 6 straight Sweet 16's and then Howland - as you said, a lot of disappointment after 3 straight FF's. They did, however, have to settle for Alford and his enormous ego.
We have 1 Conference Championship and back-to-back Sweet 16's going into year 8, or year 5 if you refuse to count the first 3.
Our administration just doesn't get it and I doubt they (UCLA admin) would be bringing CTC back for this year if he had done at UCLA what he is doing here.
