Chris Mullin hasn’t been our Coach now for years . He was selected by a Weak Administration and AD . Who also fumbled the departure of Lavin , who already had a foot out the door and left Zero in the pipeline .
I recall though when Cragg hired CMA many of the Mullin detractors wanted to kiss Mike’s ring as a great hire .
CMA was a Coach canned by 2 big time schools , Missouri and Arkansas.. He had a decent record but , consensus was from those Schools was he didn’t get enough Wins with the talent he had .
He did pretty well here in year 1 with a decent carry over of Mullin players including Figgy , Herron until he got hurt but , the mass exodus of all those players signaled storm clouds ahead .
He never got us within sniffing distance of a tourney but , was thrown a bone as BE Coach of the year . Which was a head scratcher .
His last season was a train wreck . For his faults as a Coach , Mullin did get us to a play in game . Where Marvin Clark shot 1-32 or something like that … I jest but , he was awful .
We were very lucky to have Ponds here to basically be a 1 man team . He carried our team for 3 years . Mostly single handed . Although Figgy and Herron helped a more than fair amount . Sometimes Simon , rarely Clark . .
.Posh was a good player but , certainly not as good as Ponds who gets barely a mention , now and again .
In my opinion , Ponds was our best player over the last 20 years . Hatten was close but , we had him only for a limited time . Hardy was great his last year but , only had that 1 big year
Ponds deserves more props from fans than he gets .
