Again, I'm not saying WSU did. Nor would they have been alone in it. There are plenty of other programs that fit this bill. Dayton, Western Kentucky, etc...
Easy there. Our conversion from doormat to kingpin of your league didn't happen overnight. There was a process involved. It started with Turgeon, and after going to the S16 in '06 the program saw a plateau. After Turgeon left the program in better shape than he left it, HCGM arrived. After a couple more mediocre seasons, the teams he put on the floor built some great chemistry and have moved forward in a big way. With mostly 3* players.
It's okay to take jabs at us because we left your league for something better. But don't go off making unfounded insinuations. You would be better off starting a campaign to replace Elgin.
That is all I'll add.
