The NIT run totally impacts this decision -- it gives our AD the excuse he needs to take no action./
Absolutely. It allows Bobinski to delay admitting a mistake in the extension guarantee.

I think the first comment was aimed to dispute my post, so I'll just add.... I think the answer is BOTH are issues. It is absolutely about figuring out the rotation AND how the roster was put together (the latter is what you're suggesting). The two are not mutually exclusive.It isn't about figuring out the rotation or figuring out none of the pgs are worth anything in the ACC.
It's about how the roster was put together. Smith, Jacobs, and White are all new. Hunt and Mitchell had only been playing together for a year. When your top 5 guys, who none save Hunt are great players, have that little experience playing together of course it's going to take time for them to get their act together. It's why you don't build your damn program around one and done transfers. It's the same disadvantage bringing in one and done players has without the benefit of having NBA quality players. He has no clue how to put together a team nor any idea how to build a program. And nothing about the play on the court this year changes that.
And regarding the extension. After the stunt pulled last time of extending him and then not revealing that you also reset the buyout until you tried to fire him, if you're okay with him getting an extension, regardless of effect on the buyout, you deserve to watch this team go winless next year. How about making him actually earn the extension this time instead of just giving it to him because you don't have the money to fire him?
This run we're on has me thinking "What if" moreso that "OMG, we're finally playing above average basketball".

This is a friendly question.....MBob said he would sit down and review the season after the team finished playing. It is my experience that he probably has already made up his mind. The wait was important for the team and allowed them to focus on playing the games. But that is done.
The coaching carousel is already turning, so time is an important element with this move (if he plans to make it). I think we will hear something very soon.
No thanksMark price would likely take job cheap enough to make it work for finances. Just saying...
I think an assistant can be upgraded. I've been pleased with CTH, both from a recruiting and in-game perspective. N'diaye has done a really nice job with Lammers IMO - I'll be anxious to see the improvement in Ogbonda's game next year after redshirting. Chad Dollar is the one who I've yet to see any return from.I think bg is a solid individual coach despite what some say i will rely on the knowledge of a friend of mine who was the head coach of a big east team for 8 years.
However. I think his assistants can be upgraded.
And i think if he doesnt start recruiting better we need to move on.
All of those are under the moniker coach. You cant lack in one of the three main areas and be successful

He needs to have someone in place for mid-April when grassroots basketball starts. We must have a presence on the recruiting trail immediately.This is a friendly question.....
What makes you think we will hear something soon from MBob? I have a memory (I admit it may be a false memory) that we waited an agonizingly long time to here from him on two previous decisions -one involving CBG and the other involving CPJ.
+1...I've said it before and I'll say it again, in 13 seasons as HC, Gregory has gotten his team to the NCAA tourney TWICE. He is what he is...Changing assistants is deck chairs off the Hindenberg at this point. We've seen enough (losing) to know what we have here. We should not be a nibbling program.
Sea Bass: IMO if Cronin leaves UC it will be a result of the fact that they are not really upset by his exit.
CJ2etc: We call this "the Brian Gregory".
