I don’t think you keep a coach just to keep them either, but you don’t get rid of one because they “underperformed” in a season where they vastly overperformed their preseason expectations and have won 20+ games in 3 of their 4 seasons with 3 tournament teams, a Sweet 16 and two Big 12 championships because you “think you can do better.”
If guys weren't possibly leaving early to attain pro aspirations we are looking at a nice team next year. Aren't we supposed to recruit guys that are pro-worthy? If we take a step back because pro guys leave that isn't a coaching problem. In fact, it's an endorsement on his recruiting. Coach has some warts but name the coaches that don't?
