But, at the same time, we have seen really good, and at least one potentially great coach leave the building.  Coaches that were "told" that they were next up, etc.  So, while you're busy reminiscing about how far Marvin Lewis has brought the team from the "dark days" (a dark age that Mike Brown himself created, by running off Sam Wyche..)  Consider for a moment just what Mike Zimmer could have done with this talented roster the past couple seasons...

Wow, what a great post with praise and fair criticism of Marvin Lewis..

Wish Fredtoast knew how to do such a thing. I am still wondering what he thinks Marvin Lewis has done wrong.

Eh...
