I never thought we should have extended Jarvis after this past season! The team has underachieved last year, and especially in conference tourney play. Lets be honest that is truly the only thing that matters in college basketball. I would seriously consider bringing back Matt McCall back as the head coach. The level of play has dropped off tremendously when he left to go back to UF. He is a impressive young coach, and you have to love anybody who has been under Billy Donovan!

Matt McCall would be awesome.

We hear that this is the best team we have ever had?  Reallistically, how many coaches in America, come out at the beginning of a season and say:  This kid we just recruited isn't any good.  We are not going to be very good this year.  I wish we had better players.

I mean, we have cleaned house of the selfish players.  We have 7 freshmen.  We are very young.  We attracted a Parade all-American recruit.

I am probably biased because I see him and speak to him on a regular basis and know where his heart and head is as it pertains to building this program.

I think he is the best thing that has happened to the Men's Basketball program to date.  He engages the students, alumni, business owners to get involved with the program.  He isn't afraid to get his hands dirty knocking on doors or calling someone to help the program.

Not saying there is no one else who could come in and do the job.  Just saying, for where we have come from and what we have to work with, I think we are very fortunate to have him.

But the wins are not where they need to be so I can see how others would disagree.  No doubt, we need to play better basketball.  I think we will.

1) I think a lack of facilities is a big detriment to recruiting and we need to commit to a new basketball arena in the next 2-3 years, regardless of whether or not we'll think it will ever be filled within the next 10 years. Outside of recruiting, I believe Jarvis has mentioned that big draw teams like a Duke or even a Miami won't play us in the Burrow. That could be fixed with a new arena.

2) I feel like we've plateaued as a team and I'm not sure if it's because of Jarvis or because of facilities.

3) I agree that we're very fortunate to have Jarvis because of his pedigree but one day, for whatever reason, we'll go separate ways and I agree about Matt McCall once that happens. I hope that he's very seriously considered at that time.

5 months ago eveyone was complaining about when Jarvis will get his new contract…I will just say 7 freshman, and soft big men.  If we improve during the season and win a game or two in the conference tournament.  Successful season!
