I guess it is a good sign that some of Haase's teams have been OK on D, while others have been OK on O.
That implies that perhaps one year they could be good at both.
Muir will not fire Haase, so I am resigned to dreaming that Haase can magically turn things around AND then stay at Stanford even after becoming a more successful coach.
FWIW - Some teams in the Haase Era have done much better through mid-January than this crew, but almost all Haase teams have faded in February and March. It almost doesn't matter since most experts expect only 3 Pac-12 teams will make the NCAA tournament, and Haase history suggests Stanford will finish in the 6th-10th range.
FWIW2 - When I watch the ACC on TV those teams look so good. Let's just say I will be thrilled if Haase and Stanford can finish 10th or better in the ACC next year.
