I understand where you're coming from. Definitely not much to be optimistic about.
Haith has a lot of flaws - his lineups are strange, he is obsessed with playing size just to play size, he doesn't appear to be able to consistently motivate his team, and his defensive approach is not good.
But he has been brought in a lot of talent to Columbia, whether via transfer or incoming HS and JUCO players.
IF Haith is replaced in a few years and IF the new coach can convince players on the roster to stay, he'll inherit a team that has quite a bit of good talent in its junior and sophomore classes.
That's always better than starting with nothing.
