have to earn that. Benefit of the doubt on opinions - sure - earn that. Facts are facts. A high school gym is a high school gym. That is a fact.

The entire nation knows that the WCC is a 2-3 team league. It is not a mystery.

The other programs in the league will continue to eat up coaches. Players want fans, decent facilities, proven coaching, visibility, decent competition, etc. Tough to recruit talent when you are weak on several fronts.

Gonzaga is the real deal. They have been for a long time. SMC is often, if not usually the real deal. BYU is occasionally the real deal and usually not too far off the mark.

Every other team in the WCC is hit or miss.

And anyone can say that. You do not need to earn the right to say that. Why? Simply because it is true.
