For what it's worth, "good decision, bad outcome" sums up my views on the Haase hire. I just think that psychologically Muir will be prone to wishful thinking on Haase in a way he might not have been on Dawkins.

Dawkins was just a bad decision to not fire him sooner. Unlike Haase, the data was already there. Muir just didn't have the guts to do it until it was as obvious to him as it had been to fans for at least two years.

Having talked to Muir twice when Dawkins was the coach, it's clear that he places actual value on making the Not Important Tournament. My biggest concern is that he will think that making this tournament next year is sufficient progress for Haase to keep his job. It shouldn't be. NCAAs or bust next year, Bernie.

This is just one of many reasons we need a new AD who doesn't have tolerance for mediocrity.

It will be 2 years. If we don't make the tourney in 2023-24 with Kanaan Carlyle and a bunch of juniors/seniors, that's the breaking point.

Are you saying Haase needs to make the tournament both in 2022-2023 and in 2023-2024 to keep his job or that 2023-2024 will be the decisive point because that will be his best roster? I hope it's the former. The latter is just cooking the books to justify retaining Haase. One tournament in eight years being used as a justification for keeping him because he FINALLY got personnel to align would be an even more pathetic reflection on the program's standards and self esteem than where we are now.

I am not stating my opinion. I am stating what I am extremely confident Muir's is.

I believe it's the second of your 2 proposals, and don't disagree with literally anything you just wrote.
