admit after they have become jaded by his failures.
Many of the same people who crap on him and say he inherited a good team said the opposite at the time Haith left.
After inheriting said mess, Kim made some moves that could/should have steadied the program and started us back on the track to stability/respectability. Oh, there are those who will say that we won 23 games under Haith....we were good. 23 wins is not what most consider good these days, it is above average. BUT, it was a house of cards and we were not a respectable program. The issues with Price and Cam and others were ripping it apart at the seams.
The problem is that Kim was unable to take that little spark and do anything with it. The man knows the game of basketball, but was completely unable to coach up the guys to a legitimate level. If he had shown any amount of improvement over the first couple of years, he might have been able to keep some of the early talent that they got, develop it into quality upperclassmen, and ended up with a stable program where guys were not leaving as fast as they were coming, and they would have started to win some, and it may have grown from there. But he was not able to do that and we ended up with a pretty big effing mess.
