I didn't say that McIntosh would be making decisions based on the outcome of one NIT game. "The fact that this team didn't show a lick of progress the entire season is enough of a reason to can GG." <- this was my reasoning. In fact, not only did they not show progress, I'd say that they regressed over the course of the season.
But if you want did want to claim that there was actually some positive growth this season after a couple of NIT games, then I think in that case it would be fair to base a decision on the outcome of a single, dreadful NIT game. 9+ minute scoring drought, 13 point 2nd Half, no adjustments, just a complete embarrassment but one that we've gotten incredibly used to this season.
