Ouch.
Not Doc's fault....it's all those black shirts in the crowd
- Tom says this may have been toughest thing he has done as AD; decided to make change in basketball program.
- Tom thought this would be his best team.
- Gave contract extension to help with recruiting, assistant raise in past, strength coach last year.
- Injuries hurt, schedule difficult in new league adjusting to new style of play.
- Both Tom and Doc gambled on this being a good year and didn't work out that way.
- Reason for change: Comes a point in program where either build momentum and things get brighter or you lose momentum and recruiting gets more and more difficult. Sustaining program then comes more difficult. Thought we would be on different trajectory.
- Not Doc's fault. Many things transpired to get to this point.
- Lost momentum and enthusiasm in fan base; change was in order.
- Responsibility lies with Tom. Facilities earlier, private aircraft (thought we had fixed that(, way we recruit (but that is usually up to coach).
- Been here five years, says he is at fault as well.
- Likes Doc and staff.
- Doc employable. Will land on his feet, same with assistants. Will do anything to help; will recommend.

"gambled" implies there was at least a remote possibility of the choice proving to be successful.

Tom doesn't like to gamble cause Toms no good at gambling?
Umm, that would be an improvement from where it is now. I would be in full support of a program gravitating toward being medicore.
He never really came off as a shyster whenever I heard him speak...consensus seems to be he's a genuinely good guy who just couldn't get things done here.
We are doomed.....Tom wants someone with "Integrity"
Nicely done, T.O. A shame you had to extend his contract in error, but at least you realized your mistake and made amends. Nice to see T.O. agrees with the majority -- just as he did with Mike Anderson.
