I think we can both agree if Sanchez has a losing season this year (3 out of the 4 he has been here) we need to fire him at the end of the season, will Mike Hill do it with all the dead money we will have to eat… who knows… but this was a make it or break it year and he’s still losing to Drexel…
Because they are in the ACC arguably the best basketball conference in America…
I forgot to add that nugget… Conference affiliation. Thanks… Allow me to edit.
Hard to attract any top 100 prospects with any professional aspirations to a boring, low scoring system that can’t win… In CUSA, one of the worst basketball conferences in America.
ACC the best conference? Sure 
Charlotte does not run the UVA offense. Motor brought the William and Mary offense with him.
I assume you missed the word “arguably.”
The point is…the ACC in basketball if you want to call it a Top 3 Conference…carries a lot of weight with recruits. Moreso than CUSA by about a dumptruck load.
I will concede that being a top 5 conference does carry more weight with elite recruits than a top 15 one. Just won’t buy the propaganda that the ACC is ALWAYS the best conference.
I’m just curious. But y’all seem to lean the scales more towards talent. We’re not UVA. There are plenty of mid major programs out there with reputable play. Hell, arguably the best team in the country falls in that category. I don’t know the perfect answer but it’s obviously not an easy one
Toledo beat the crap out of Northwestern Ohio tonight
Then it goes back to Sanchez just can’t coach to save his life… and if that’s the case, don’t know why he is still our head coach, I’m sure we can find someone else to pay 750k to get the same results.

clt says big10 is best mbb conference
It’s definitely not always the best conference…but it’s pretty good.
We aren’t going to be able to recruit against ACC schools. We need someone who can find hidden gem’s in recruiting, develop some talent, utilize the transfer portal, and make decent in-game coaching decisions…I mean how hard can it be?

When Major was here we had Woods (WFU) Dorin (State), Thorne (Illinois), Izundu ( Miami) and Lester who could play in the ACC. I understand your point but BB is a different animal and only takes 2 studs and 3 guys who know their role. In a city like Charlotte the right Coach and recruiters could make this a destination again with AAC competition. That is why I am so disgusted where we are at and been at for the last 15 years.

I think we as a fanbase have followed the program’s lead - we have gotten very good and very used to making excuses for failure. Especially sustained failure.
I can’t remember if those guys were highly recruited by bigger name schools coming out of high school or not. Rather they were and Major got them to choose Charlotte or he was able to identify talent others overlooked, it proves that Major was a great recruiter. Sadly that’s all he did well.
I hope we find the right coaching staff to make this a destination again. Major, Price, or Sanchez have all failed to get us back to the NCAA tournament.

37-53 with NET over 200… yeah, this guy should totally be retained.
