[KAOriginal]

Which Paul will have done the MOST damage to the program?

Unfair question. We'll only know in retrospect...

That's just not possible to answer because it has so much more to do with what comes next.

In Westhead's favor, the program he took over was already pretty lousy.

Old threads are funny - How you liking the new coach Mason Nation?

From a program-wide perspective, I would say neither has done significnat damage. I mean, within 5 years of Westhead being fired, we were in the NCAA twice and the NIT once, some of those with Westhead's own recruits, the biggest being George Evans ( yes, I know Larranaga had to re-recruit him, but he was originally a Westhead recruit).

I believe a similar thing will happen again provided the next hire is the right one. The Hewitt years will just be a footnote

This isn't a Calipari at UMass situation with vacated NCAA wins and sanctions being placed on it. UMass hasn't been to the tournament for, what 15 years? Nor is it a UNCW situation with a president who wanted to "de-emphasize" athletics and essentially gutted the budget. Now that's how you destroy a program.

TOC made a bad hire, we are suffering for it, we will get over it.
