In response to cc66
You raise a couple of fair questions. My concern that this year's 4-10 Ivy League record may be the high point for years to come is rimarily based upon the fact that the team's record under Engles the last three years was 1-13, 1-13, 2-12 and 4-10. I just cannot be very sanguine about that four year record, or others. If a coach wins only one Ivy League Game in each of two seasons and then wins two games in the third, season, and finally wins four games in the fourth season, I wouldn't consider that a good and positive trend. I cannot get very excited if a coach who only wins one Ivy League Game in two consecutive seasons and only two games in the next season, doubles his total wins in the next season. The four win season seems tainted to me. If Engles doubled his predecessor's wins, I would agree that's a positive, but when your doubling your own wins, that's just not a positive to me. As to your other question, my concern, which I believe you share, is that I do not remember receiving any detailed information from anyone in the Administration about almost anything involving the Columbia Men's Basketball Program. Nothing at all. Every coach I have known in any manner whether as an athlete, alum or just as a friend, has been more communicative than Engles and Pilling. I just like coaches and athletic directors who are good communicators and show some emotion. That's just me and you and others can certainly disagree. My biggest concern with the Columbia Men's Basketball Program is my feeling that
at least some of the current players may have lost confidence in Coach Engles because of all the losses
