...as to whether the program is better off without Sendek or not.
".no further question as to whether the program is better off without Sendek or not."
Why, because we beat UNC once, a UNC team that must have been looking ahead to the Duke game because they certainly didn't come to play against us? Hell, if that's your criteria, maybe we should bring Les back, because he did pretty well against UNC, didn't he? All bow to Sid for leading us into 9th place so far, lol.
You don't measure a coach by what he does at full strength, you measure it by what he does in the face of adversity, and in the face of adversity this year, Sid hasn't done very well.
It was a good win, but let's get real here. No way we should have beaten this UNC squad, a team that beat Arizona at Arizona by almost 30.
And for those who dream of a sweet 16 year if only brackman and ced were here, you guys are hilarious. That's exactly what Herb did, and you guys gave him hell for it, but if Sid had done the same, it somehow becomes an awesome achievement and a great season.
That's why I give you guys a hard time. Not because I'm a Herb lover, but because you guys are such hypocrites, and, well, in some cases, just plain idiots.
Now, if Sid can get these guys to shoot 60% for the game and 53% from the three vevery game, which is what it took for us to beat UNC by 4, then I'll gladly join in on the worship service. Until then, I think I prefer to live in the real world. He hasn't proven himself to be an unusually good coach, no matter what some of you believe.

Huh??? He beat arguably the most talanted, deepest, team in the nation with 5 healthy scholorship players, a point guard at about 70%, and a walk-on. I would say what he did Saturday was one hell of a job facing adversity!!!!

No, you give us a hard time because you are either pulling against NC State or you are a plain idiot yourself.

Only the 1rst Pack coach in 16 years to have back to back wins over ranked opponents. Nothing unusually good about that you idiot!!!
The original comments were those of a troll. They were designed to provoke, not to put forth a truly held view.
Therefore, it's not surprising that those original words can be so easily refuted. The surprise is that Sidney was able to provide the irrefutable truth in only his first year.
Give this team Fire and Ice, and we're off to see a conference championship and possible national championship. This team needed one quality point guard to backup Atsur, who would have kept things together while he was injured.
That's why it was very good that Sid was able to secure the services of that transfer from Tennessee.

I thought Sid would be an excellent coach even before he was hired. This win and the last one proves that when this team executes the system they can beat anyone in the nation.
Let's go on a roll, team!
Go Pack!

"This win and the last one proves that when this team executes the system they can beat anyone in the nation. "
If he were an excellent coach, it wouldn't have taken 21 games to get the team to execute the system. But you're right, if your team shoots 60% for the game, 76% in the second half,and 53% for the game from 3, then yes, you have a good chance of beating anyone in the country. But I don't think Sid's coaching had very much to do with that. Sometimes teams get on a hot streak which is what they did this game. Let's see how good a coach he is when the team plays more down to earth. Oh wait, we HAVE seen that. It's why we're in 9th place.
that with a healthy Atsur, this team COULD go 8-8.
Anyone laughing now?
5-3 is all we need....
The Pack needs to take the last two wins in stride and continue their focus. This is no time for them to start assuming they have their game perfected. 76% second half scoring is a rarity not a norm. I am pleased that Lowe has brought a new confidence to this squad and just wonder what it could have done if Simmons had stayed and Brackman had played.
A-me !! Never was in my
A-me !! Never was in my mind. Do you suppose UCONN will congratulate us on our last 2 big wins. Lol. I didn't think so.
