It's NOT the coaching but the recruiting. Putting a bunch of street thugs on a basketball court does not make them a team. Gotta find unselfish players who can work together, listen to the coach, don't hotdog and actually pass the ball once in awhile; and then you will see a winning program again. Coach Holland was able to do it.
I'm not a big Gillen-basher, but I've increasingly come to believe Pete's not really that great of a coach. I believe recruits are beginning to look at Gillen's results to date and figgerin' UVA may be about as good as they're gonna get with Gillen at the helm, and the BlueChips are sayin, "Thanks, but no thanks."
To some fans, that level of mediocrity may be fine and dandy, except when you compare it with the great strides Groh has made with the football team after only three years. Unless something really unpredictable happens the rest of the season, I wouldn't be surprised if this is Gillen's last year.
