It's all how you want to spin it. He states that nobody dominates mid major level basketball...NOBODY. Well, that is a somewhat subjective terms and can be interpreted differently. He's wrong because Gonzaga does exactly that. I don't expect us to dominate but I do expect us to win more than 1 regular season championship in 9 years and more than 1 NCAA tournament in 9 years as well.Quote:

You didn't win a conference championship when you may or may not have to play more games than the others in the tournament due to byes and you can win it with 3 games and a losing record. There are teams that get into the NCAA with losing records or .500 records. I don't consider them champs. What we did last year was a true championship.
LOL. What? Your evidence which is based on speculation that we would have gone to another NCAA had Elfrid not left early? LOL. OkQuote:

It’s not like things are exactly looking bright for the immediate future either..we lost Marquetti and even the defenders have all but written off this season, so what happens when we lose Gant, Stroman and Marquetti? It looks like they missed on a couple guys and a guy they will depend on greatly next year will have not played a single minute and coming off an ACL? So this year in the “injury pass” next year we will Be “young” and next thing you know it’s 2020 and we may or may not be in a position to possibly maybe be a contender possibly might maybe.
I wonder how revenues from softball compare to those generated by the basketball program.Quote:

Marlin pulled all the right strings to develop an NBA player, and in the process out coached his coverage.
Zero doubt that having an NBA caliber player return for a senior season would have eliminated the stat most often used against Marlin.
I get it. Those are incentives. I would like to know if Maggard has specific goals and expectations outlined for Marlin to live up to.Quote:
