I don't think the football and baseball teams have anything to do with it, and would probably actually argue the opposite, the better they're doing the less anyone is going to care if the basketball program is just pretty good. Except that if we haven't had to fire a football coach in a while we might have more money.
Agreed. Given our history of being non-participants in the tournament, I really don't think he would get fired if he had consecutive trips to the NCAAT.
Hypothetically speaking anyways....
Realistically, I've seen it go both ways.... consecutive trips to the tournament with an off year of not making the tournament and other years where a team has broken through to the 2nd weekend.
But for the sake of your question, his seat doesn't get hot with 1 or less wins in the tournament, if we make it every year.
