Let's see... A year ago WSU only won one PAC-10 match, this year 3. Swept the Arizona's on the final weekend of the regular season. 7 of the 10 PAC-10 teams were in the NCAA TOurnament, 9 of the league teams were ranked in the top 25 a majority of the year.
I don't know how it works but can you be ranked most of the year and not make the tourney? I guess if you lose enough games at the end of the season(in conference) it could happen.
I think it's really to early to judge how he'll do. He did improve them from 1 to 3 wins in the conference. I think they only had 2 seniors and 3 juniors last year. They were a rebuilding team. I guess you could compare them to SDSU's Men's basketball team. SDSU"s team was as young last year and only won 3 conference games. They've already won the many this year. I'm not saying Palileo isn't a good coach. I think he's good but he would have struggled with SDSU's team this year, too. He just didn't have well rounded recruiting classes.
For getting rid of Phil and then leaving the team, that's not typical of most SDSU coaches I know. He might not have got the job anyway but that's something we'll never know.
Than your a pretty good apologist for someone who did not "leave it be" the right way.
I think its best to leave it be JackGuy. You really don't know how it was left and blaming Andrew for everything is just flat wrong.
