No. This is an incredibly stupid thing to say.

This is rich.

This roster with 2-3 Joe Thomas' wasn't going to be better than 9-9. This is what you seem to be completely ignoring so you can make this totally inane Captain Hindsight argument.

No, you're just stubborn and I think deluded.

Players 11 through 13 aren't going to make a 9-9 team any better than 9-9. This season ended when those 3 players were lost. Practically every program in America would have suffered the same fate.

We had 10 rotational players in August. We didn't need a prayer. We didn't have to "try" anything. The only way we ended up in this situational is a one-in-a-million set of catastrophes. Everything you've said is Captain Hindsight kind of nonsense.

The team had 10 rotational players healthy and enrolled in school in August. 99% of the teams in America would see their season immediately end if they lost the three players that we did. There's no adequate preparation for that. There's a culture, especially around here, of blaming the coach...

Again, your stopgap measures wouldn't have made this team a tourney contender. We'd still be bad but with more "depth" than we have now. We'd have two more Joe Thomas' and we'd still be a team that would be lucky to make the NIT. This season was effectively over in the preseason when Wilson and...

I'm tired of this depth nonsense. We weren't going to get anybody to "replace" our best player. Hernandez being out put this team from a solid tourney team to solidly out.

Yes, he was around for more than a year. He was expected to be an important rotational player.

Easier said than done. I trust that Larranaga made reasonable judgments based on what was available.

Stop with this. If three unforeseen events don't occur (Wilson dismissed, Hernandez ineligible, Gak injuried) then this team would have 10 guys in the rotation. More than enough and, in fact, more than we had last season.
