I still don't know if Jason's the guy. I'd love for him to be everything we want and more because he's a good dude and a Liberty alum. Like many things with Liberty (and especially Liberty basketball), we are hyping the unknown so high that anything less than unprecedented success would feel like a failure.

Id love for him to be just what the doctor ordered as well. the way some are talking though, itll take winning the conference 6 straight years and making it to the second weekend of the NCAA at least twice (the unprecedented success you mentioned). if he (or whoever it is)can get us into the top 2-3 with a couple titles and 16-18 or so victories consistently, I'd chalk that up as a win. we do not need a VCU or Wichita State type run for it to be a success

I don't see anyone putting that type of expectation on the next coach. Who exactly on this board is putting those expectations on him. Hyperbole much? It's people who cite unnamed people making unproven quotes that causes a ruckus.
The general consensus seems to be if we could get back to where we were in the late 90's, being consistently in the thick of the BSC title hunt etc, we'd be happy.

All you can really expect from any coach IMO is to be in the thick of your conference title hunt and win it semi-consistently. Obviously that's light years away from our current status and no one is expecting a new hire to win the conference next year. But to be moving in that direction would be something I would take at this point.

As bad as we are, we should still expect to compete for the Big South championship by a new coach's 3rd season, at the minimum.

Agreed...the basketball ship can be righted quickly in comparision to football. By year 3 we will definelty know where the program is headed.
