mediocrity

[TheAsianSensation]

And if you want my personal opinion, I value the scheduling and NCAA tournament results a bit more than the rest. National relevance is happening, and the consecutive winning seasons are too. However, no top 3 Valley finishes in forever is sort of ridiculous, and in my book, he's got 2 years to do that once. If he can't get there, it's tough to make the NCAA tournament and it's tough to continue to schedule as well, so that problem will begat new problems.

So would you categorize all those accomplishments as mediocre?
That's all I'm saying. I think, considering everything in the last few years, this qualifies as above average, and a little better than mediocre.

I would categorize the performance in the last 5 weeks or so of the Sweet 16 season as amazing.
I would categorize the performance in the year following the Sweet 16 season as outstanding. I thought that was by far Les's finest season...considering what was lost from the previous year's team and the magnitude of the adjustments that had to be made to be competitive with that roster.

There is nothing mediocre about those performances in my mind...nothing at all.
But there is a lot of what I would define as mediocrity in the years before and after that stretch...and again, that's just based on my point of view...you clearly have a different decision point between mediocrity and success than I do...
Winning a Valley title is a priority to me...from my season tickets, I face that "1996" on the Valley title banner every night I'm in Carver...and I simply need another number up there to look at. And I sincerely hope that this new number, whenever it arrives, starts with a "201..."...

Developing individual players: We turned POB into a lottery pick

Did we really? I mean POB had two great games back to back that happened in the tourney........timing was everything

Thank you DaCoach, someone who agrees with me! This program is not completely where I want it at either, but JL has raised it a step up from the start, and I feel the next step is coming but takes time. It has definitely not been mediocre. I think we will see that step up in the next 2 years, but people are already dismissing it as though we will not take that step because of 9 games.

He has only had one disappointing season so far which a lot of was bad luck and still turned out average excuses or not! People act like every year he has finished way below what he is suppose to have. The last 4-5 years have been good, albeit not great, but I think we will take that step.

What evidence is there that nothing is working and that we will not take that step in terms of disappointing seasons not just individual games besides one year???

I agree with you too BUfan14.
