This thread is fascinating with the amount of vitriol being heaped on Audi. The Fennelly apologists have successfully steered blame for the mass exodus away from Bill, with unsubstantiated rumors of clubhouse drama (Audi's fault), player pay cuts (Jamie's fault) and a broken system where this is happening everywhere ("bags" being thrown at our players).
Bottom Line: Losing a two-time All American and a pair of McDonald's All American's from the ISU WBB Roster is CATASTROPHIC. It's Bill's fault, yet he's untouchable because he beat UCONN in 1999. Audi, Addy & Jada are #'s 1, 4 & 7 in the CBS WBB Portal Rankings. Our bench players (Williams, Beatty & Wilson) are being snapped up by historically above-average programs (Indiana, Mississippi State & Toledo). What has happened to us this offseason is unprecedented in terms of talent departure, and somebody (CBF) needs to answer for it. How his facilitation of "toxic culture" doesn't rise to "for cause" is beyond me - it's been enough for other athletic departments. I know Jamie will never fire him - at this point I'd settle for an honest / in depth Tommy Birch interview where CBF discussed this season / offseason.
