Given our circumstances and environment, I am glad we have Coach Dunne and his staff.
However, in an effort to keep the "bar raised", it's interesting to note the following:
Michalich has had three losing seasons in the last 14 years at Niagara. Niagara is, IMO, a harder place to recruit to and the Gallagher Center holds no big advantage over Yanitelli.
Niagara plays an exciting style of hoops, vs. games in the 50's-60's..
Our saving grace is a Miracle Weekend in 2011 and the very welcome recent recruiting success, which suggests better times are ahead (Dominique, Wyche, Welton)....so I am hopeful.
But....it's important to keep in mind "it" can be done, given the right head guy, even with not-so-great facilities and an abysmal campus/location.
No great insight, just food for thought.
