Why is everyone so confident Haith will be leaving at year's end? Does someone have inside information I'm not privy to? Seems odd to fire the defending coach-of-the-year after a shortened, fan-less season.
It’s just a perpetuation of the mediocrity that we’ve seen in the past 6-7 years. If Monty had tanked this season like he had in past seasons, he probably would have been in a similar boat. He had a career saving year despite covid, Haith had an even worse than normal one. The shortened season and not having fans are things that other teams dealt with too.
There were also expectations given the team that Haith returned. 2 4 year seniors, an all conference star player, two high level transfers, and a host of role players. They should have performed better. It was clear that the team gave up on him at some point this season.
Biggest gripe: he can’t make the tournament given multiple 4 year recruiting cycles to get his own guys and year after year it’s another excuse. Whether or not he actually is fired will be a financial decision more than a coaching one.
