The w-l results speak for themselves and the transfer route is perfectly fine with me - like Coach said, the transfer market is not going away. there are some advantages I'm a little envious about; this year, we are in scramble mode to fill a couple roster positions.

Before Monte, Fred had three years in a row where we started the season with a new PG; it turned out ok, but it is nice having continuity and predictability so player and coach can focus on game day strategies..
