I don't understand this type of expectation
I do agree with it if we are talking about 2027, but not sure it's reasonable to expect any coach to go from 3 to 9 wins in a year.
It's possible. People will point to Indiana and other examples, but it isn't the norm and shouldn't be considered an expectation like this as if it's a pass/fail class.
All signs point to the staff focusing more on the long term build than the one-off one.

11 wins. That is my prediction for the regular season.

Exactly, but should the expectations scale be broken though? Most people
