Interview with Robert Lee

[reddot]

_ I am quoting you, and agreeing with you 110%. He was thrown into a deep hole and with a corrupt program, however he is increasing grades, the apr, and he is even winning more games than the previous season. It is ludacris to even mention his job being in danger.

If there was a "deep hole" and "corrupt program"... he was, as an assistant,
a part of that "corrupt program" . So in a sense he is cleaning up a mess he helped create.

ok that is true, although it wasn't completely his fault, he does have to take responsibility. And i think he has and it helping pull a 180.

So, what's this "corruption" you speak of? That's a slap in the face to a long list of great kids who came through our program in those years.

First, I meant no disrespect towards anyone who played here during those years.


It has nothing to do with the kids that were ever involved with the school. And perhaps corruption wasnt the right word to use. The fact that Lee was a part of the coachin era that put us on probation and made us lose a few scholarships back in 04-05, plus the 90% of money we made and our records. And he is not just focused on winning (which he is doing) he is also increasing performance in the classroom and the character of the players he coaches. You have to give him credit for rebuilding the foundation of the basketball program with less scholarships and recruiting local talent. All i am saying is why would his job be in jeopardy when he has had to deal with all of this and is still moving the program up.

Without taking other variable into consideration I have an oversimplified timeline formula for time allowed to own a winning program.

If you take over a winning program tear it down and rebuild it to your liking, I think you should have 4 years to accomplish the task.

If you take a long running program that is and has been in shambles, you should have 7 years to accomplish the task.

If you start a program from scratch you should have 6 years to make it a winner.

Turbine with the time line you set do you believe this is the the year for Bustle and if not it is time for a new coach?

Now that I can certainly agree with.


PS As I recollect, most of what you cited as problems went straight back to OG passing what was deemed to be a "distance learning" course by our NCAA compliance officer that was then disappoved by the NCAA thus making him (retroactively) ineligible.

Backing coach Lee, but he did not inherit a corrupt program. He inherited a program that was good enough to contend with Louisiville. Jesse did not make the error on Green, and there are no other issues. All the players that cost him were players he had a big hand in recruiting.
