That’s exactly how I took it. Just couldn’t resist. Just a feint. Not even meant as a jab.
How Much Time Is Reasonable To Evaluate CDS?

Forbs is a solid coach, however, in his 4 years at Wake he has not made the NCAAT and he has a losing ACC record. If that is the standard then CDS has 2-3 more years to turn GT around.

How much is the buyout? It's time to change coaches again. He has no idea what he's doing.
I think it's close to $3.5m if we can him in March. The big problem is I'm not really sure who we would be able to replace him with. MBB is in a very tough spot right now. This is a very bad power conference job to take right now.

We need top level talent to build a program. We don't have any right now

Yeah, but this boring crap offense doesn’t help out low level talent

Bucky McMillan at Sanford.
Plenty of mid-major coaches that were love the upgrade. I just want someone that can actually coach. $$ will do the recruiting.
Hell, I'd take Chris Mack or Will Wade too.

Then it didn't help to run of Jalon Moore, Devion Smith, and Miles Kelly.
And the reality is we aren't going to talent our way to relevancy. A bad coach who can bring in good talent is basically just asking for disappointing years followed by our best players going somewhere else to get paid.

I thought basketball would be cheaper and easier than football - you can build on just 2-3 top players, fill in role players around them. Seems cheaper than football. Iirc someone speculated we spend $3Mish on basketball NIL, apparently not enough $$ or just poorly spent?

Uhh yes we do. This is enough talent to be able to break .500. We saw the talent in the three game win streak. It’s coaching.

At least after next year. As the program redevelops the ATL recruiting base, I expect homegrown point guards and forwards. I have to admit this is the slooooowwweeesssttttttt Guard play that I have seen here. It is painful to watch. They seldom penetrate. I think that the other players except one have no faith in George. He has made no improvement in 2 seasons.
From 2011 Duke BB writer ranking the worst teams in ACC history…Appears the ‘81 team is safe from ‘25 Jackets but even ‘81 team was never down 31 at halftime..
“No. 1 Georgia Tech 1981 (4-23, 0-14): The '81 Jackets - in their second ACC season - have stood the test of time. Winless in the league, with an average margin of defeat of 24 points. An eight-point loss at Maryland was the only time the Jackets finished within 11 points of an ACC foe. The four non-conference victories came over Flagler, the University of the South, Presbyterian and Newberry. But those wins were offset by homecourt losses to Wofford, Troy State, Baptist and Western Carolina. Dwayne Morrison's team expected to improve after winning one ACC game in 1980, but the '81 team suffered a blow when senior Brook Steppe, who averaged 19 points a game as a junior in 1980, was suffered a preseason knee injury and missed the entire year. That left center Lee Goza as the team's star - and his claim to fame was that he spit on Ralph Sampson ⦠or maybe it was when he took the second-half tip in Chapel Hill and went the wrong way with it, scoring a basket for the Tar Heels.
Morrison, who used to smoke cigarettes on the bench during games, was replaced after the season by Bobby Cremins.”

Unfortunately, this group appears to be at its best. Guard play is so below ACC requirements that this might be the worst team in the conference. I hope my pessimism is unwarranted.

It’s gone.
In fairness to ‘81 Jackets, Dwayne Morrison was only making $42,500 vs Damon’s $2.5mm… but The Winston reds that Dwayne smoked during games were only $1.50/pack so there’s that…
