I love losing boss. Its in my DNA. Mediocrity is my motto and desultory is my life's ambition for the orange and blue. I almost didtnt survive the SOS years and Urban finally pushed me into senility. I did rally the last ten years but Millens has me back on medication for all the wins and excitement. Plain "White" bread basketball has been a life saver for me since Billy Ball went NBA. Pray for me, Boss. Pumper/Losers need to stick together (IN all kinds of weather)
I wouldn't say you "love" losing, you simply view winning as a bonus, not a goal.

The problem, Coach, is he’s had five seasons to prove his mettle. What we know so far is he can recruit. What we also know is he’s offensively challenged and consistently beaten by more organized teams with greater discipline and better schemes.

That doesn’t bode well.
you forgot the part where hes consistently beaten by teams with half the talent.

So realistically how bad does it have to get this year to see a coaching change? We’ll be lucky to finish .500 the way it’s looking now...is that enough for a team that was preseason 6?

We had to teach football to our baseball AD. Now basketball, too?

Unfortunately there is no answer to your question.
That is, I am convinced that CMW will need to underachieve through next year at least before Scottie even considers a change.
Let’s be honest most AD’s have a physical aversion to conflict so it has to get so bad that the fat cats have to stop buying tickets in the club section before the subject is even broached
Considering that MOST of the boosters with those seats don’t even attend the games themselves I doubt that a revolt is brewing

So we are left to sit and watch CMW slowly destroy the program Billy built from the ground up.

My only saving grace is the knowledge that I let my $2400/year seat go after 36 years.
We really sucked (5-22) the first year I had the seat in 1981 but the cost was only $100. Back then the program was reluctant to screw their boosters but they are much bolder now

All sarcasm aside, it’s killing me to watch what is happening to the program I have loved and supported for so long so if I overreact, please understand how I got here

Blackshear's got to be thinking wtf did I just do? I left a sweet 16 team for this?
Blackshear is pretty bad and it's not all MW's fault. I now see why he was projected as not really NBA talent coming out last year. MW most definitely sucks, but KB is no where near as good as advertised. How many times did Buttler have guys cutting to the hoop right behind Blackshear's back and he didn't even see them, let alone rotate over in time to contest them. Then there's his 3 pt shooting. What a dumpster fire this team is.
