Facing Aggie basketball's hard realities

BCG, Turge & Kennedy

Billy Gillispie turned this program around in one season with the help of two NBA draft picks and four professional basketball players. He took over a team at its very lowest point. Obviously what those players were doing the year before was wrong, so they essentially had to accepting a change in coaching.

Mark Turgeon then came in and inherited one of the most talented rosters A&M had seen in many years. Turge had to maintain — not build.
