Gonna go out on a limb here, given the topic at hand, and speculate that it means BC is capable of getting good coaches.
That's only assuming the environment is the same as it was 20 or so years ago. We're in a different conference, with a different AD, a different president, an extremely different college basketball environment etc. Not saying we cant get a good coach but looking to history that far back as being indicative of anything is weak.
Without denying that BC is in a different situation now than they have been for the past 45-50 years, BC as had few basketball coaching misses over that time. The one guy hired by GDF is about it, though the elders will tell you that JOB sucked for a while and underachieve with some decent talent until 1994.
Looking back at a history of hiring coaches is no weaker than saying BC cannot hire a good coach because the Wake and Marquette jobs are open.
Are we even arguing about anything at this point? I really feel like we're not but I can't stop typing.
My only point is and has been that other than the myth that Leahy is cheap, BC is a better job with better tradition than Wake and the only support to the contrary is Tim Duncan and words coming out of the mouth of douchebags in tie dye.
