Not sure why Keefe was so ineffective. He dominated Cal in Maples.

I am not sure why the entire team was so ineffective. Haase obviously can't form a team that gets better as the year goes on. The pattern is that they are average for the first half of the season and then fall apart in the second half of the year. That said, I can't help but believe that any random 5 guys could have played better than Stanford did against Cal. Getting beat soundly is one thing. Barely getting double digits in the first half is another. That is just really sick bad. Should not be possible. The players aren't individually that bad. Playing like that shows there is a real basic problem in the program. I don't know if it is the coach, the assistants, recruiting the wrong guys, or all of the above, but this performance was below pathetic IMHO.
If the AD was competent, there would at a minimum be a deep dive into why the pattern of no improvement repeats. Haase maybe can recruit. It has been said he has a good relationship with his players. However, if he does, that relationship isn't leading to results. That needs to change. Maybe it is Haase, but after this performance one wonders if there isn't more to it than just that.
