[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 832947, member: 4110"] Gt fans know all too well that past success is no guarantee of future success. Cremins had a meteoric rise and a slow decline. Hewitt took a nose dive of the tree of success. So, every season is a new test and who knows when a coach has peaked? I think it is only natural for some fans to have a "show me" attitude. On the other hand, GT has had only three other occasions where we have finished above .500 in the ACC for two consecutive seasons (all by Cremins). and we have only finished above .500 in the ACC for three consecutive seasons on one occasion, and we have a good chance to get that done this year. There is no historical precedent for GT fans to minimize the accomplishments of the last two seasons. Not to mention that, schematically, our team play has been better than solid. And undeniably, our players get better under this staff. Finally, If memory serves, a year ago, these same pundits picked GT to finish 8th in conference, and they knew about Alvarado and Wright. They didn't think that much of them in the preseason a year ago. But now they are irreplaceable? It doesn't wash. Our roster is deeper in talent than it has ever been under Pastner. We have a good mix of veterans and youth. But the pundits, as well as some GT fans, are not Pastner believers. That is the bottom line. It isn't about proof or even talent, there are other biases at play. But that is okay! Because their skepticism doesn't have anything to do with whether we win or lose the games. Predictions are meaningless. We might be good, we might not, but it has nothing to do with the predictions. [/QUOTE]
