IMO the BL program has been through a lot in the past year. 1st there was a huge controversey over whether or not an administrator could coach. Turns out according to the Floyd Co. board they can't, so BL gets a new coach. All this after a reasonably successful 06-07 season. Then, before the season starts their bigman, and probably their best player, is declared ineligible. Next, they have a host of young talented players coming into their program who are going to compete for playing time with the players that are already used to playing the entire game. Then, they have a transfer (Slone) who is also ineligible and is going to compete for playing time when he becomes eligible. Lafferty, a starter, is declared ineligible and then comes back. Now everyone is eligible and Newman, Slone, and Lafferty are probably not in tip top shape and they are competing for playing time with the younger players. On top of all this they where expected win this year and they haven't.

Tough year for BL IMO
