In response to Doktore K
Yes, success and winning record won’t happen overnight. But we are now in good hands with Griff!!
Bison Basketball history: First few years after taking over program:
Charlie Woollum (after Jimmy V) 13-13, 10-15, 13-15 then 18-9, 20-7. Overall 59% winning pct.
Pat Flannery 13-14, 17-11, 18-11. Overall 57% winning pct.
Dave Paulsen 7-23, 14-17, 25-9 (1st of 5 straight winning seasons)
Overall 59% winning pct. Much higher in PL.
Very important key for John Griffin is hiring ace recruiter and excellent staff. Paulsen had Dane Fischer and Aaron Kelly pulling in top classes of talent. Takes an aggressive, hungry staff to bring in better talent and perhaps that includes a transfer or two.
Who will JG bring in as assistants?
One thing fans need to remember is that all of the previous coaches inherited programs that were in significantly better shape. Griff is looking at a major rebuild, especially if he can't convince Screen to stay.
