What is there to dislike? The fact that he struggled early this year starting 2 frosh and having 9 healthy scholarship players? The fact that he lost to to top 25 teams like UT, ISU and a hot WVU team on the road? The early exit in the Tourney last year against a team that went on to the Sweet 16? Or, is it that he isn't Frank Martin, not even remotely a sexy name coach and that is enough to instill the venom?

Agreed. I'm still guarded about the long term, but not sure how anyone could argue about the results thus far. And as you said, with Foster/Iwundu/Thomas (he'll get better), he's established a pretty solid foundation for the next few years.
Oh, and the tourney game last season.....I put a very big chunk of that on Angel. He played his worst game of the season, dogged it really, and then transfers soon after?
