      I have never suggested that what you say above is not true.  I believe it IS true.  Since it is apparently true then everyone, including me, which wants better basketball is going to have to adjust and live with the fact either nothing can or will be done about it.  But, as a result don't expect fans to just pack out the Devaney.
