If they are making progress, give them time

An AD has to be a judge of whether or not a coach can coach. Is he making progress? Is the program moving in the right direction? If you are, you probably would be wise not to mess with the coach.

Here is a case in point: in his first three season as head coach at Davidson, Bob McKillop was 4-24, 10-19, 11-17. Three straight losing seasons. Should the AD have axed him for that? Well, if he had, he would have fired a coach who now has 570 wins, all of them at Davidson.
