Mike De Courcy has a column up about
Herb Sendek at State, pointing out the difficult situation he inherited and
that he's recruited well. A lot of State fans are unhappy, but really, you
can go back a ways into Valvano's tenure to spot where the rot began. It's
about a twelve to fifteen year slide he's trying to correct. That may take a
bit. Coach K went to the NIT his first year then had two losing years before turning it around - and that was after inheriting elements of a Final Four team.
