When in the history of Penn State basketball has a 14-8 record been a poor record when the team is led by sophomores? Losing Reaves hurt.
Before Chambers’ arrival kids like Carr, Stevens, Watkins and Reaves would never have ever considered Penn State. Getting them was not an overnight process.
Chambers has laid a foundation and we have two really solid players coming in next year as well.
This is not a destination job. You get someone in here to win with the current roster, they are gone almost immediately.
I’m just not seeing what a coaching change accomplishes considering the difficulty of the job and the progress that has been made in recruiting.
If guys leave early for the NBA, that helps recruiting.
I’ll admit that Chambers may have PTSD at the end of games because of what he’s had to endure for 7 years, but Chambers has created a floor over the last 4 years that is .500 basketball. That is serious progress at a place like Penn State.
When you consider the fan support at games and the kind of coach that would be interested given the extreme difficulty with the job, why would you blow it up now?
