It would be easy to let personal relationships and emotions cloud our judgement, but in the end, college basketball is a business, and you have to put out a product to compete. If you don't compete you don't last. Akron's program under DH has failed to compete for MAC championships, and that's the bottom line.
One of my big problems with the coaching is not just the senior flops that have occurred, but the lack of overall player development. There just aren't many players who came through the program who you can say became much better players during their stay. Look at Jimmal Ball for example at the guard spot. He was a true HS phenom, MVP of the Wendy's Classic. Never seemed to get better than his freshman year. And how many post players came out better players than when they arrived? Can you come up with more than one?
I agree with GZ on this one. We don't need to go far astray to find the next coach. It needs to be someone with an anchor in the Akron community, who has a winning reputation. I think we have that man already.
