[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 937335, member: 959"] I want to preface this with a couple statements: 1) I am not content with the W/L record under CJP 2) I am as frustrated as most with the head scratching loses which seem to happen every year under his watch 3) I strongly dislike the Princeton sets he has ran and FEEL like we have been driving square pegs into round holes too frequently and often Now that said, I do think there have been a few major institutional challenges which he has had to fight against: [B][U]1) Recruiting is undeniably coin operated. His whole time here, preNIL and post has been hampered by that immutable fact.[/U] Pre-NIL [/B]ADTS told him to steer OVERLY clear from anything that had a whiff of impropriety. I didn't take issue with this approach then, cheating is cheating even if everyone else is doing it. That's what made the Jose and Moses stories so compelling. That was pure heart and development and speaks VOLUMES in my opinion to his coaching ability. If you need further proof that CJP ran a remarkably clean program see the whole "not fired during the Ron Bell Deal" section of our history. If there was a bit of stepping beyond the line he'd have been gone. Top recruits got bags of money and we DID NOT DROP THEM. Since Paul (of the NY not NC Variety) we have been clean as a commercial kitchen under CBG and CJP. [B]NIL Times[/B] We haven't been able to organize the funding to go get who and what we need in the portal or out of HS signings. That's a simple fact. Until we fund that at $500K or so we will be consistently be trying to develop diamonds in the rough and then trying to keep them [B][U]2) Staff Funding Levels haven't been appropriate for a program with ambition of being regular NCAA Tourney visitors.
