First thank you for answering my multi-layered B/Ss. Since you’ve answered a number of them recently I make up you like them, but perhaps I am a bit biased.
I like Rodney Terry and in a perfect Cinderella world he would win a natty and we would all live happily ever after with one another, but keeping him I think would be a mistake.
As you’ve pointed out (in not quite these terms) he sat down at the card table with a strong hand that was given to him, and he never had to pay the entry fee. Even with this strong hand, Terry has done good not great.
That reminded me of the quote below that ‘good is the enemy of great’, and UT MBB is wanting to be great, not just good.
To be great, Terry should not be the HC next year. With him at the helm for say the next 3 years I think we would never rise above good and might even slide a bit.
Thanks.
John D. Rockefeller said “Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great” because only when we get ourselves out of the comfort zone of good, can we move to be great. When we settle for 'good or very good' as our highest effort, then good becomes the enemy of great.
