If we want to be top 4/5 in the conference, the coach needs the money
like UVa gets to buy players. No coach we hire will do any better than CMY with funding at or near the bottom of the league. Personally I think Young is a good enough coach, not perfect, but relatively speaking, I think he is a bargain for what we pay him. What hurt him this year was too many injuries and two portal players who didn’t produce (Avdalas and Pasha). One couldn’t hit a bull in the a$$ and the other didn’t even play. And despite that Young’s team didn’t finally fall off the bubble until the end. He coaches competitively. Unless he just wants to retire he should have gotten a contract extension this year. JMO!
