The scariest part is that the only real success oscar has had has been in year 1 with someone else's players. If there was any reason for optimism going into this season based on oscar's track record it was this. The talking point favored on other boards that we need to wait until oscar gets his own guys in here is not based in reality. It's going to get worse. Much, much worse.
The only positive thing I can say about Weber and your situation is that his first year at Illinois started horribly. We looked like garbage and we lost a brutal game against Providence where we looked like we had never practiced before and yet that team rebounded and won the Big Ten title outright and made the Sweet sixteen and then we had our 39-2 season the next year.
The problem is that this was 1 1/2 seasons out of nine where his offense looked like something the team had practiced. Not to mention, he had some all americans and all conference players on that team. I think the only reasonable conclusion is that Weber had little to do with that team snapping out oftheir funk. I think they just learned to tune him out because after a few months they figured out he was a total moron.
Anyway, I'm just saying there is a chance the team figures it out. Of course, this could end up being a bad thing because it could mean nine years of oscar Weber, and I personally would trade those twoseasons for a chance to do it over with another coach, but the fact is those guys did figure it out. On their own probably. But it happened. No thanks to oscar Weber.
