Great statement! It matters and contributes not only to success but it is or I guess was important to the fans. They don't care about the fans but the fans loved seeing players and a team grow and improve and take the next step as they grew into bodies and gained experience both playing together...

10-0 so far today. Looking like a sweep!

They learned they can behave like that from Gov. Walz. :)

Though what is the point if a select few miss him? There will always be that. In a few years Fran's contract would have been done and he would really be getting old. Not sure why you would miss him in a few years and Ben gets the same early grace that Fran did so not that fair to judge early...

On and on with the attendance, the apathy over and over but yet it is too soon to tell if the fans miss Fran?? I do not think the majority miss Fran or will miss him for whatever reason. Not sure where you get that. Time to move on.

No NIL, even having to sit out a year when you transfer so it wasn't the same at times even if you say some were getting under the table. We had Cinderellas that would stay together for three and four years, develop and make these runs. Now they get scouted and the players poached so those are...

I don't know about drop of a hat. Could have dropped him earlier than this year and wow did he look like a dead man walking much of the year. Plus if that is your guy you gotta go. You can't tell coach X to wait till the end of a contract and you don't hold onto a coach if it is time cause you...

Earlier before with this team of which much was expected they were 7-7 during a 14 game stretch. Then they had a good run then they have that sad loss to Richmond. That up and down is certainly the rut over the Fran tenure. Don't just pick out the good stuff then question why the apathy or why...

Look at the effect already on the tourney. Outside of SJU having two top players crap the bed against Arkansas all we have left now is 1's and 2's. So much for March Madness. Cinderella is dead.

Think it was certainly time. Don't think there will be much difference in win total next year. Not like Fran would win 25 and now we will win 11 games. Probably be within 5 games and think it won't be a losing season. Fran might have hit 20 but the apathy and game or two we shouldn't lose or...

Really. Even Fran at his best had his foibles and we would see the unexpected loss or two that hurt, the up and down play, lack of solid "D", perhaps a blowup or anger scene and head scratching subbing. What would he have done at that point with him looking checked out with a supposed good...

Sticking around longer and also having BTT and 20 games season just adds up. Davis is just the better coach. Fran's teams up and down play, sub issues and lack of "D" and not going as far as you might think and losing to more teams than they should have. Fran is good and rated about right. Still...

Didn't you live it? :) It should always be in the back of the mind. Of course 2022 ended with Richmond. It was really only fleeting, as usual, since they were 12-8 regular season BT. The ups and downs. That team struggle more than it seemed it should then they put it together. 12-2 before that...

A trademark of Fran guards who can drive. Those who can't have not shown it but from Toussaint to even one of his sons have all ended up with that habit. If he had more quick athletic guards we would have seen it more but it has been a pet peeve of mine for years. So what was with the title of...

She can coach but can she recruit in men's and work the NIL?? Transfers ? I don't see that working with her experience in those areas nor as a gimmick.
