fwiw, lon quit trying. if he had put half the effort into unlv the last few years he was here as he apparently is now at oklahoma, he wouldn't have been feeling the heat that he was. he knew his time was limited at unlv and it had nothing to do with low scores. the rebs were being LAUGHED at during the last game he coached, and he had reached a plateau over the last couple of years he was here. i remember fans on a different board BEGGING for him to play 2 bigs at one time, just for a couple of minutes. but he couldn't, because he didn't ever go out and recruit them. i get the small ball, and i'm not opposed to it, in certain situations it is the RIGHT choice, but it is nice to have the option. but i loved his defense. i think lon had taken the rebs as far as he could, he is a great rebuilder, and i thank him heartily for the progress he made at unlv, and wish him well at oklahoma. but i do find myself very ticked off at times this year that he didn't do here what he is doing there. i also think that many fans are looking back and thinking he was better than he was here, because of where we are now. but i was not sorry to see him move on, it was time, he had done as much as he was going to do here. just my opinion.
