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.
