We are perceived as a "basketball school" by ourselves and by most anyone that pays attention to college athletics. And we should be a basketball school. In theory, it should be a lot easier to get a couple of difference makers in basketball and be successful then in football just from a numbers standpoint. Three 4 star type players in basketball usually means success, while three 4 stars in football isn't close to enough.
But, in reality, this basketball school we all love and support didn't really go to the NCAAT very often before CKS and his 6 trips in 17 years. I'm saying this in no way trying to defend CKS. I've had enough, it's time for someone else.
I ask this wanting honest opinions on what should our expectations be with a new coach. You in one hand have our history. It's perceived as better than it actually is. Now, I'm not saying our history is bad, just not as good as I think it's perceived to be.

- Compete for National titles?
- Compete for conference titles and make an occasional run to final four?
- Have winning seasons and trips to the NCAAT in most years?
