It's about pride. It starts with individual pride and carries over to team/program pride. It's fantastic to have individual pride, it appears that is what Cupps with be starting with at a minimum, and translates to team pride. I don't know what the culture will be at Indiana when he reaches campus. He could come in with all the dog in him that could be asked for but without a team/program willing to accept it we won't move forward much.

^^All of this^^

But I'll add, it's about building block by block, step by step to put together a roster where focus and consistent determination is hard-wired into the DNA of the team. When that happens, the rising tide carries all boats. See: Moren, Terri.

So, are Cupps and Newton only two kids? Sure, but the percentage of kids that carries the team's mindset has to improve and if they are two kids who raise the "winner mindset percentage" on the roster that's a positive.

If memory serves, Moren's first couple of years weren't that great. Lots of questions about players leaving and culture. But as she got the players in that she wanted, its been building on success year after year.

He’s a starter. Calling it now…By the time it’s all said and done, he will go down as one of our favorite Hoosiers of all time. He will lead us to a Final Four or better.
