... but there was one of them, in which Vandy had just had a big win, in which I said something along the lines of...
"How does a guy take a preseason Top 20 team and have them fighting for their bubble lives? If Vandy misses the dance, Stallings could be fired."
Well.. they made the dance. Barely.
But the point still remains, and it is troubling.
Vanderbilt played in a very weak conference, was a preseason Top 20 team, had 2 future NBA first rounders on their roster.... and went 19-13 and almost missed the dance.
That's the most recent body of work we have on Coach Stallings.
That's like barely making the dance with Pitt's 2009 roster.
That's concerning. He recruited well enough to be a preseason Top 20 team.... but then, by his own admission in late february, "lost" the team.
That's why he was about to be canned when we saved him from that fate.
He needs to be asked about what happened to THIS year's Vandy team and how did things go so wrong, and how can he assure Pitt fans that it was an abberation.
