1. Think Wilner correct that Basketball's demise, Muir's supposed forte, his principal responsibility & a failure,
2. PERHAPS one of the reasons Muir was reticent/ unwilling to step into the demise of Football under Shaw was that until the past several 3 win seasons of mediocrity, Shaw's power and rep/credibility with the University and alums significantly outweighed his own as AD.
