I'm becoming apathetic about basketball
That would be Stage 5 of Weberball
The Multiple Stages a Fan Will Go Through During a oscar Weber EraStage 1. DISAPPOINTMENTThis generally occurs at the moment the news of his hiring is released to the media by the schools Athletic Department. There will be a lot of disappointment for the fan base during the Weber Era. However, disappointment at this stage is more attributed to finding out that your school was unable to land any one else and had to settle for oscar.
Stage 2. ACCEPTANCEAfter hearing all of the pumping by the local media, AD, etc. that this is a great hire, a Weber team fan base will eventually accept him as their coach. Acceptance at this stage still comes with a level of uncertainty, but the fan base is generally willing to give the guy a chance based on his experience.
Stage 3. EXCITEMENTThe fan base will soon realize that oscar Weber has an uncanny ability to win games and achieve a high level of success in his first couple of seasons at the new program. This guy is fantastic at coaching other coaches players. At this stage, those fans who may have been unsure of the hire become bandwagon oscar fans. All is good with the program and everyone is happy. There is likely some big wins during this stage, including conference championships and deep runs in the NCAA Tournament. This stage (for the majority of the fan base) generally peaks out after year 2.
Stage 4. CONCERNIt is typically in Year 3 where serious concern begins to occur within the fan base of a Weber coached team. Significant changes begin to occur with the team internally. Transfers of key players, low ranking recruiting classes, poor behavior by players outside of the program, embarrassing losses to lower level teams, etc. This stage can last up to 3 years, with many fans still holding on to hope based on oscar's early success and the fact that he runs a clean program. However, a large faction of the fan base begins to change their opinion of oscar Weber due to all of the negative signs of a declining program. This is where a serious divide occurs within the fan base (See- WFF {Weber First Fans} vs Weber Haters) which results movement to Stage 5.
Stage 5. APATHYThis stage is the result of continuous heartbreak for the fan base. Poor recruiting, continual "bubble" situations each year in March (See "Why do they call oscar Weber "Bubbles"?") This can start at different times for different fans. For realist fans, this typically starts in year 4 or 5. During this stage, there will be significant attendance issues for home games. A lot of fans will actually forget that there was even a game until the next day when they happen to hear the score on the radio driving to work. This is a sad time for fans. You begin to question your loyalty to the school you love. The administration begins to take a lot of heat for allowing the unsatisfactory results to continue. The divide between the fan base gets even stronger. The message boards become a voice for the frustrated fans to express their anger. The WFF population begins to get quiet, as the results no longer support their meme.
Stage 6. HAPPINESS Luckily, AD's typically change every 6-8 years. It is this change that will prompt the change of the Head Basketball coach, bringing joy back to the hearts of the fan base. The day it is announced that oscar Weber is no longer your head basketball coach is one of the best days of your life. It is one of those events where you will always remember where you were when you heard the news.
