@Comfortably Numb That encompasses my point: at what point is it ok to have that expectation for basketball? Why can't we say "You have to go win a tournament game", especially with the talent returning to the team? If you continue to have low expectations for the program, you'll never be disappointed with a 5 seed in the NIT. 

But sometimes it pays to be patient.  When you fire your coach you can count on losing most of a year in recruiting.  That puts the program in a huge hole for the next guy.  When you fire two or three coaches in a decade it's hard to get traction in recruiting, and a base to build on.  Eventually you get a rep as an unstable team.  (This might hold true more for football than basketball.)  That said, Miles has had several years now.  So you'd hope his team would start showing results.  /jmho

@Cdog923 I think we can have that expectation. I guess I'm agreeing with both of you to some extent. I think that should be the expectation this coming season but I also think, in reality, if Miles just makes the tournament that he probably won't be let go. And yes you are right, if we don't ratchet up the expectations for the program when it is warranted like it appears to be now, then we can expect to receive the same subpar results this program has always delivered.
