Easy, about 2 Saturday’s ago I had my XM radio on a station I never listen to. Well the show was Dan Dakich. I’ve never listened to him before. The only thing I got to know about him on the radio,was all the controversy he generated over the years. Beside the point.
what he said was as interm coach, as a result of the Sampson dismissal, Dan was in the meetings with the AD , president and school committee that was in charge of the selecting the next coach. He said , that the exact words were , “we will never let the basketball program elevate to the degree, that it over shadows the university again. “
So to put it in simple terms we are down grading the basketball program.
The rest is history.
