[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 141797, member: 572"] [USER=926]@TheSilasSonRising[/USER], Your commentary is a generally weak with little foundation and here's why. [LIST=1] [*]Short of those who didn't like the hire from the get go, I doubt there are many who didn't give BG a complete & utter mulligan for year 1. The no home court argument Year 1 has come & gone. Nobody faults him for that year's record and quite frankly, it was a selling tool on the recruiting trail that kids had a new arena to look forward to. I'd also point out that at the time, it was spun that the kids would get to play in an NBA arena. [*]After 3 years and now having ALL HIS GUYS, he's shown an inability to consistently recruit at a high level (something many were concerned about day one) and convey winning in-game/end-of-game tactics. I will give BG 100% credit for the great job he's done in righting the ship academically, but if that's the #1 thing to judge him on, we may as well downsize to a single revenue sport. [*]The idea we have no money is a misnomer. The GTAA & the GT Foundation do in fact have money. However, Bobinski was mandated to raise additional funds for buyout purposes and not use the existing funds on hand. In going to the same old boosters and not developing relationships with new boosters, they had no interest in bailing him out.

[/LIST] I could've responded in a nasty manner with expletives and I really thought about doing so. Instead, I just decided to undermine your various points of view with real arguments. Either join the discussion with respect or see yourself left out of the discussion as people start hitting the ignore button. The choice is yours. Best regards, A 16-year season ticket holder who plans to renew his season tickets again next year and has never once stopped supporting our student-athletes, even when their perimeter defense has been shaky, they've been turnover prone, or they've taken an ill-advised shot, because their strong efforts have earned my resolute respect.
