I think the real problem is we don't have a history to fall back on. WE have had some good teams, but overall no long history of men's success in BB.

I think that's some of it, Dale had established a passionate fan base in the 80's and early 90's but he was a big part of taking the air out of it - he started mailing it in and his last 4 years were horrific.

Unless you hire a very dynamic personality with a huge track record of success.....like say the women did with Kim Mulkey, the road to building a fan base back for LSU hoops will be long and hard.

And let's be honest, the men's version of Kim Mulkey ain't coming here for hoops.

I like CMM and want him to succeed. But even if he does it will likely be a long an slow process and because of his personality, which is to be kind, not dynamic - the build up of a passionate fan base would be a slow process as well.
