Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXXIII: A Fanbase Gets Smarter When All The Idiots Jump Shi
Something I find interesting from the statement Alvarez made in support of Eaves and Eaves' comments on the Hockey Digest was the reference to bad seasons each has experienced in the past. Their examples were from the start of new regimes, not the result of years and years of work by the coach. There is a big difference between 4 wins when you're starting something new and 4 wins a decade later. That can't really be missing that, can they?

I'm hoping that some of the people in the AD can convince him of the business POV and PR implications going forward, but I'm not hopeful.
At this point, Eaves hasn't has proven he can build a consistently successful program. In fact, the only three year stretch of NCAA appearances? Years 2, 3, and 4.

"Our women's basketball program has not reached and maintained the level of success I believe is possible," athletic director Barry Alvarez said.Last edited by XYZ; 03-30-2015, 04:53 AM.I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

The administration's inability to mitigate this before an assistant coach went to the paper to insult fans while concurrently stoking the biggest grease fire in program history speaks rather finely to your comment re: Alvrarez' administrative acumen. These things really aren't that hard. Then again, it took that place far too long to can Lisa Stone, too
1.) in the years UW is down, it is offensively a disaster. It's one thing to watch a great team pull off 2-1 win against another great team, it's another to watch a team and know of the other team scores three goals you are done.
2.) to many slow starts to a season. You just dig yourself in to much of a hole to really be considered a contender on the national stage and always seem to be playing catch up in conference races and the PWR.
3.) far to many losses in OT. Fans go home with a very bad memory that sticks with them.

Stat from USCHO says that NoDak has had 7 frozen fours in 11 seasons under Hakstol. That is impressive. Hey Barry and AD's - why can't Wisconsin have that kind of success?

2 FF in 13 for Eaves and only 7 of 13 years did we qualify for NCAA tournament, and one of those with a losing record.
