Ghost you are a great poster but ill disagree Jarvis teams won for the most part multiple trips to ncaa, elite 8, BET champs, NIT title. I just feel Norm did more damage to the brand by his utter incomptence.Norm lost consistently and was not head coaching material and if you see that as damage that is totally fair, but for me it was Jarvis who damaged the Program's integrity. He arrogantly cut ties with recruiting partners, used questionable practices, lost control of the players and put us in a position that necessitated us to look for principled leadership over coaching acumen for the hire after his tenure.
In 2008-2009 , year 5 of norm the had a record of
16-18, 16 of those 18 losses were by 10 or more points. many by 20 or more. Norm in year 5 failed to prepare his team to compete way more than Mike ever did. 2/24/09 was the worst moment in program history.
