You're focusing on the goodwill Donovan bought and not addressing my question. What are they doing wrong? They aren't even in the same galaxy of the standard. Why can't their money buy better success?
saying Thad matta took a step back this year is quite unfair as well, imo.

No one thought a 4 minute mile was possible either until some just did it. Then it started to happen frequently.
I have no ide what UF is doing wrong in hoops the past 2 years but they obviously know how to do it right. Chances are they'll be back at the top soon enough.
Like it or not another year like the past 2, or worse, and people are going to start grumbling. Actually you can read grumbling already. I am just making a statement that I think it will get worse. There are obviously some deficencies in the baskettball program. Thad is in charge of the basketball program. Thad will catch some mild heat about the deficencies until he wins something that makes everyone forget. Its not uncharterd territory for big time coaches here.
Just like football I think we have the right man in charge but no one is above reproach fair or not. Its a tough business and they get paid a lot of money to put up with it.
The great thing is, all they have to do to shut people up (for a while) is win a title. The noise will never go away completely.
