How do Sun Devils fans view the job hes done in Tempe?
It is clear to the Sun Devil faithful that Herb Sendek was a gift from the basketball gods. Sendek is capable of landing big recruits (look no further than James Harden) and has a defensive attitude that is readily instilled in his team. The boys seem to buy into the mantra of defense and intensity. It’s difficult to find much fault in his performance so far as our coach, but he has at times played Harden too much in games where the end result was already decided (see last week’s game against Arizona). The Sun Devil fans can’t wait to see the next step forward for this program, whether that is in March 2009 or a few years down the road. But for once, it is not impossible to imagine ASU being the eminent basketball program in the southwest for years to come.
