You could see this coming a mile away. I think the team was feeling that they were prepared to make a big run when Caleb returned. Then he literally takes himself out of commission on his first practice back on a no-contact dunk attempt (why, Caleb, WHY?), and it kind of took the wind out of everyone's sails. There is a very real chance that what had been a pretty successful season will end with us limping out with three consecutive losses and another first round exit from the NCAAs. Even in the best scenario, we probably aren't making it out of the first weekend, which I felt we absolutely had to do to be able to label this a successful year. So, this year will go into the "Meh" category that Hubert seems to live in these days. We'll be no closer to a resolution on whether he's the right guy for the job one way or another because the overall results will still indicate that this was another (low-seeded) NCAA tourney team.
So, we'll enter next season with the same questions about our coach, but without the services of Caleb Wilson and probably Henri Veesaar. And on and on we go.
