He has a huge leash. People outside of the program don't understand this, but our leadership does.
Our team has been fighting with one hand behind our backs for a long time. We just got the full allotment of scholarships 4 years ago. Our facilities were abysmal compared to our conference peers. That's all changing with the Rodkin Center. We are finally on an even playing field where we can actually start to compare results. It's no surprise in the first year the RC is open, we are landing on paper what is the best class we will ever have had. I bet that continues too.
Even with those challenges, Brecht has brought us to one conference championship game, multiple conference tournaments, and people can say we never made the NCAA tourney under him as of yet, but two teams were absolutely deserving.
He's also graduating players at the highest possible rate seen, and bringing in great kids while doing it.
While we still have some support challenges to tackle, the program is in a great spot. Thoughts of any changes aren't even remotely in the atmosphere. It's all focus on what we have and are building.
As to this year, I reaaaallllly hope we have a season. We've had a few Corona challenges with the kids, but they've been incredibly focused. They've also been practicing hard, all fall, which a number of programs have not been able to do. If this can be sustained moving into a Spring season, it's going to be some exciting times for the program. We have a lot of pieces to work with.
