Item 7 I totally agree with

But since you want to continue the camp discussion:
You can make comparisons and data analysis as complicated as you want especially when trying to prove a point. However I have yet to see anybody prove that the last 4-year run was not best we have seen since the 1980’s, nor can anyone say they do not expect a NCAAT and Sweet 16 even if he runs with the 8 we have today. If he gets the big center and a combo transfer then …..

BTW Lacy left cause his season exceeded his (and everyone else) expectations. Everyone that is but the staff that went out and got him. Think about that for a moment.

4-4 two Sweet 16, a near miss on two Elite 8 and a third Sweet 16. Is it perfect no. Is it trending in right direction yes. Are they some concerns due to Lacey’s surprise transfer based on financial and opportunities to take a chance on yes. Does it mean Gott does not deserve respect for what he has done and some trust in his leadership? I don’t see two camps. I see one camp that that is more negative than I ever dreamed to be and that is pretty damn negative.

Just what is the overall on court performance you would have needed to see to have someone you believe in? Big picture not individual games, transfers, etc.

And ancsu87, before you even ask, it was me who deleted your last post.

This thread is not going to become like the one I just closed. I thought closing it would have been hint enough.

Nothing personal, fwiw.

No personal attack taken. See it everyday at WH Press conferences.

So I looked at some attendance info out of curiosity since rye brought it up in the other thread. Here is the data for the last 10 available seasons:

2013-2014 (Gott season #3)
Average home attendance: 12,641 (#25)
Total home attendance: 240,182 (#19)

2012-2013 (Gott season #2)
Average home attendance: 16,299 (#12)
Total home attendance: 277,087 (#14)
Average attendance increase, year over year: 2,739 (#2)

2011-2012 (Gott season #1)
Average home attendance: 13,560 (#20)
Total home attendance: 257,638 (#16)

2010-2011 (Sid season #5)
Average home attendance: 13,779 (#19)
Total home attendance: 220,457 (#28)

2009-2010 (Sid season #4)
Average home attendance: 13,184 (#24)
Total home attendance: 224,131 (#23)

2008-2009 (Sid season #3)
Average home attendance: 13,456 (#21)
Total home attendance: 242,206 (#18)

2007-2008 (Sid season #2)
Average home attendance: 15,043 (#15)
Total home attendance: 240,682 (#21)

2006-2007 (Sid season #1)
Average home attendance: 13,952 (#18)
Total home attendance: 279,035 (#13)

2005-2006 (HWSNBN season #10)
Average home attendance: 14,472 (#17)
Total home attendance: 260,509 (#13)

2004-2005 (HWSNBN season #9)
Average home attendance: 14,464 (#13)
Total home attendance: 245,898 (#11)

I’ll leave it to others to determine if there is any meaningful trend data in there.

It’s hard for me to put much stock in the Forbes ranking. It seems to simply equate to an annual revenue figure. Some of the components involved include:

Gate revenue, which obviously correlates to attendance and arena size
Parking and concession sales, also correlated to attendance and arena
Multimedia revenue
Apparel revenue
Licensing revenue
NCAA and conference distributions
Alumni contributions

Clearly, the majority of that revenue is generated by fans of the program, and that means fan attitudes toward the program will directly affect that revenue. But it is not solely about that.

The athletic department also plays an important role in negotiating many of those agreements. The conference negotiates deals that result in conference distributions. The performance of other ACC programs in the NCAA tournament may also influences the conference distribution, not sure about that. I assume gate revenue is shared with road teams, so total revenue is also influenced to some degree by the attendance at road games.

To me, it seems difficult to quantify the direct correlation of head coach performance to this revenue ranking. I mean, it’s obvious that better performance would generate more revenue. But I’m not sure what level/range should be expected and where we fall in comparison to that.
