Count me as a pessimist who will not be disappointed if we get into the NCAA. I am hopeful that Muir is smart enough to recognize that we've underachieved and make a change at the top, even if we do make the tournament. I guess that will smack of lack of trustworthiness after publicly saying things that would lead one to believe that NCAA = Dawkins stays, no NCAA = Dawkins is gone. But he has to see that the team could be so much better than it is. Still, I stayed up until 2AM EST to watch them scratch out a win against one of the worst teams in the league. I root for our boys no matter the circumstances. But I'm still hoping for a change.

Actually Muir never said that Dawkins would stay if they made NCAAs, only implied very strongly that he would go if they didn't.  I think he's going to hear very loudly from the fan base that even with a bid a change is needed.  6th place and another season of losing more close games than they won tells me that Dawkins is a mediocre coach and since when does Stanford stand for mediocrity - in ANYTHING?  Maples will be cavernously quiet next season if Dawkins stays.
