The odds of us winning 35 games is the same as me dating Halle Berry next weekend.
Let's say it happens. We win 35 games but, once again, choke in the Dance. Half the team leaves and we have a recruiting class ranked around 20.
You think we're going to be any good the next two or three years based on Crean's record with a "young" team?
Then his contract is up to the point where you have to give him an extension or everyone will start screaming, "He can't get good talent if they don't know he's going to be here for another 10 years!!"
You going to give him yet another absurd extension or cut bait?
If you're going to cut bait, then why waste those two years when we're going to suck anyway?
