How many wins will make you happy next year? Curious to see what number people will be happy with after 4 years. And I would really like to know that if you where told they would win 10 games in year 4 the day they hired Martin - if you would have still thought he was the right guy.

I voted 15-17...I'm not happy with less but won't go crazy if it's 12-14 either. Anything less than 12 is unacceptable.
I'm thinking 10 was about right for year 1...last year should have been 4-6, this year 10-13, next year 15-18, year 5, top 3 MAAC 20+
Obviously CM has alot of catching up to do.

15-17.
If they can't get to .500 in 4 years it's most likely hopeless for this recruiting cycle. Looking at another 3-4 under a new regime if they don't get it turned around next year.

I also selected 15-17. But to be honest, how many teams have gone from 4 wins to 15 or more the next year when they retained the coach who led the team to 4 wins or less? More importantly, I want 9 wins in the MAAC at a minimum. .500 has to be expected by the 4th year of your sabot..., um tenure. I almost retracted and selected the 12-14, but that was the beatdown loser mentality that is forming in the Marist mens basketball mind, that its ok to fail as long as they are trying. NO MORE, NO MORE:). I also think Marist is going to have a couple schollies open. I don't see how you have 2 horrible years and all the players want to come back or the coach wants to keep all of them. Hopefully if forced out the coaching staff will work like heck to get the player a new situation that has a scholarship. And if the player leaves for better oppurtunity, who could blame them at this point? I fully expect 2 or 3 more players coming in we don't know about yet.

I also keep out hope for the best of all worlds. Martin sees the light, gets a nice assistant offer at a BCS school and tells Marist he wants to leave. That helps all parties. Marist gets to choose a new coach without the stain of firing someone before contract is up, Martin gets to do something he has proven to be good at, and we get to have our lives back:).

Yankee that is a great wish. I think we should all light a candle praying it happens.

Selected 12-14. I suspect we will once again have a difficult OOC schedule. So the wins have to come in conference play. Going from where we are now to 10 MAAC wins will be very difficult but MANDATORY.
Want .500 at a minimum overall but will accept 12-14 if the OOC are competitive and .500+ in MAAC One last thing-No more >20 point losses!

I selected 12-14. I agree with what Ken said. No more losses of 20+.... I think that's been the biggest disappointment this year. Some games have been over in the first 10 minutes against MAAC teams. That shouldn't happen.

I couldn't agree more with ken on that statement. Even I will be disappointed with anything less than .500 in the MAAC. I'm gonna say 12-14 as well, but I look at the MAAC record as more important.
