Lotta pressure on Coach L. I remember hearing him bragging during an interview about how important it was to get an underclassmen drafted(Larkin) in the first round to recruiting. If BB isn't pro ready this year after being supposedly pro ready least year and LW turns out to need another year, our team will be better next year obviously, but it may be harder to sell kids that he can get guys into the NBA early and for some kids thats a selling point. I'm sure LW read the hype about himself.
Mix that with the FBI probe, being on a 3 game losing streak and I feel like Coach L may be experiencing some heat. He's never really had any serious expectations placed on him. Not even at GM.
We can still get out of this hole but we've got to get back to winning. If we don't make the tourney, I would call this a bad year for Coach L, but he's been ascending for a long time now.
