In response to TheLine
people have brought up the difference between dunphy and donahue. there are two:
1. Sometimes one learns a little bit. So yeah, I was ready to shake things up with Dunph at the end of his tenure. I didn't want him fired but I wasn't sad to see him go. While we ended up in the crapper, I don't think we were necessarily destined to continue the success we had previously but certainly we'd have been better off had Dunph stayed.
2. More important though, when Dunphy won with the best player during their sophomore year, they BUILT ON THAT SUCCESS. That was the start of greatness. Not the peak, not the plateau. I don't want to get hung up on the performance in the Ivies per se. If they were a KenPom top 100 team and just got edged out by a better ivy team, so be it. But that's not what happened and you all know it.
