So what's the verdict on this season?
It started out with some promise, and the team seems to have moved past the Boudreaux Fiasco. There are talented players to build with—Brendan Barry and Chris Knight, especially, and solid potential pieces like Taurus Samuels, Adrease Jackson (anyone know why he didn't play except against Yale in the last five games?), and Aaryn Rai. On the other hand, we couldn't close out a single close game this season, which you could either read as 'we were within one possession of victory so many times' or as 'we couldn't figure out how to win it in the end'. We lost our last eight games.
I don't think it makes sense to dump the coach, but a 2-12 record in the league is not something upon which to hang one's hat. What do you think McLaughlin needs to do next year to stay here? Let's say that half of those within-one-possession games were winnable, assuming they were all essentially toss-ups. That means I think he needs to at least improve to 5-9 next year. Will that be enough?
