[QUOTE="gt24, post: 784537, member: 538"] I agree with the first half of this. I'm not sure about the second half. [USER=274]@CuseJacket[/USER] asks about fans' expectations, which is, imho, the problem. Modern fans, in a social media age, have far too little patience, and far too high expectations in terms of constant/continual wins. A down year draws ire. Two or three sub-par years in a row and there are calls for dragging the coach to the guillotine. But when a fanbase sees it at another school, from the outside, separated from fanatical emotions, they are more apt to see the insanity of those unrealistic expectations (e.g. Auburn football). I think this is ESPECIALLY applicable for modern/expanded ACC basketball. Murderers row. The margin is so small. I don't follow ND hoops, but from afar, I'd take Mike Brey every day of the week. Brey has a far longer record, but I'm inclined to lump Pastner in the same basket as Brey in terms of character, philosophy, and approach to coaching ACC teams and student-athletes. If I'm a fan of a school that wants to compete at the highest level, while following the rules, and graduating student-athletes, I'm down with Brey or Pastner for the long haul, even with the roller coaster of ups and downs that are damn near guaranteed for programs following the rules and competing in the ACC.
