76lsjumb - honest question, what was your view on the Dawkins situation? As I see it, the perspectives of Dawkins supporters (using plural in the assumption that you're not the only one) fall on a range of:

1) Dawkins was still a young coach getting experience and there was still a good chance that he was going to improve his overall record and coaching ability and become the kind of caoch who can get Stanford to the NCAA on a consistent basis and even win some tournament games.
2) It was clear Dawkins was going to be a perennial NIT/other tournament achieving coach at Stanford, but that's okay, because he's a nice guy, his kids graduate and don't get into scandals. Stanford should never fire a coach  unless they are a true bottom feeder or demonstrate bad ethics.
