re: How I would fix the BBall Program

I think for starters you have to commit the resources needed to succeed. Financial, Marketing, everything.
Then you have to play an exciting style. Look at what Alabama and Auburn do. Run up and down the floor, shoot a lot of 3’s, press, put a lot of points in the board.
I use Bama and Auburn because those are football first schools, with nowhere near the history we have here. If those schools can do it, so can we.
Then I think you need a charismatic coach, someone who grabs people’s attention.
Look at Mulkey outfits, that’s by design, keeps the program in the spotlight.
When Bruce Pearl got to Auburn, he went shirtless and chest painted in the student section for a football game .
This endears him to those students and then they start packing the arena.
Building the new arena.
This brings immediate excitement, everyone wants to see the shiny new toy.
Lastly once you get them in the building, you have to perform and win.
