I liked that 1981 seating.  Of course, I was sitting in the visitor's side during SCU's 62-60 win...;).

In 1981-82, Stanford men's basketball finished 6-20 and 2-16 (dead last) in the Pac-10. We played our first five games at Maples and won four of five: wins versus US International (?), Harvard, Furman (the University, not Mark), and LMU; the loss versus Penn. We also swept Oregon home and away. 

I'm certainly not claiming that these are the glory days for men's basketball, but it's been much worse.

The 90s were the glory days. That was 20 years ago. Since then, it's not been that great with a couple of exceptions in the Montgomery/Johnson era in the early 2000s.

Unfortunately those times set an expectation that Dawkins and now Haase have been incapable of even coming close to. I for one am not going to lower my standards. I will not accept the mediocrity of the past decade-plus and as a fan & donor I will continue to press Muir to hire a coach who can do better.
