Some good points in the podcast were made about patience. Players do not have patience now. Coaches do not have patience with the rosters now. Fans do not have patience now. The fans, for sure. Locally, look at ISU fans calling freshmen busts this past season. Where ISU basketball stands nationally it takes a super-freshman to make an impact among proven veterans in the age of free agency. There really isn't any patience from players, coaches, or even a large percentage of fans.
Great point about freshmen. If you’re coming into a program at the level ours is at, you’d better be a legit difference maker. And you’re spot on about patience…it’s gone from not much to nonexistent.

Give me a talented basketball player who decides to spend his/her summer baling hay, detasseling corn or working a job around town instead of playing more basketball during the summer any day.
