Words
“It was hard to stop the bleeding. We were our own worst enemy turning the ball over 16 times in the first half. I hate to say this, but our first true road game, when things got tough, we panicked.” – coach Lorenzo Romar

I’ve been a supporter of Romar. The man can flat out recruit. I want to hold off and see what happens the rest of the season and compare reality vs expectations. If he falls woefully short, then I think it’s time to search. (My opinion matters not).
What comforts me though is that since he has shown that top recruits can and will come to Washington, we can expect a good hire to succeed Coach Romar. We don’t need to hire an under the radar guy. We can get an elite coach who can keep bringing elite talent.
Romar isn’t proving to be a great X’s and O’s coach, but he has brought this program up from the depths. It’s because of him that this program is set to take off.
The slow start after five tourney-free years adds more pressure. Romar needs to get something done this year.
