Tad Boyle just got his annual 1-year extension

- Start date
She should be happy that she still has a job.
What are the chances that she is replaced in the off-season. No excuse for CU not being at least competitive in WBB, bottom of the conference is an embarrassment.
As they should be. It will be great if the Buffs can get to be an annual Top 20 team. A big step at a time.

This isn't even remotely true.
OK. Other than those fans who remember the early 1940s, what other 5-year period would we be talking about?
So, DBT?
Starting in 1936 we went on a tear through the '44/'45 season. Our record was 94-30.

Pardon me we had a beast of a run from 1938-46ish - you could likely get a 5 year span there that looked better although you'd then have to say something about the level of competition. So I'll modify my statement to:
Greatest 5 year run in the modern history of CU hoops.

I think people are correct about expectations. I think we know pretty much what Tad brings to the table. When CU decides they want a higher ceiling for the BB program they need to evaluate if he is the guy. I think he is a better than average coach but not an elite coach. He pretty much is a one and done guy when he gets to the tourney.
So far. That's completely fair. Tad coaches a winning brand of basketball and builds it with upper mid-major type recruiting with great evaluation and selective use of transfers, redshirts and prep stashes.
He's very much the Gary Barnett of CU Basketball. Well-coached teams that don't have the explosive athletes to consistently win against the best teams on the schedule.
The question I have is whether CU is willing and able to invest in the program like it has in football. If it is, my expectations go up and Tad needs to show he can take that and achieve at more of an elite level. If it isn't, I learned my lesson in football with all those kinda good years under GB... that a coach who gives you good results and a lot of reason to cheer & be interested in the team under certain circumstances is someone you hold onto.
Expectations must match the reality of the situation.
Billy Donovan is not returning from the NBA to take over the CU program and most coaches won't get CU like an in-state guy like Tad (or GB) were able to. I doubt that Dana Altman would have been able to succeed here like he has at Oregon even though his Creighton success predicted he'd be great. Be careful what we wish for. We could very easily end up with another Dan Hawkins as a replacement for Tad Boyle if certain fans get their way.

If I remember correctly, Hitler failed both political science and ethnic studies.
He failed to land Cam Newton too. Amongst other things lol.
