Stan Watts had some terrible seasons--just awful. He played poor conference competition and still managed to have teams finish below .500 during the 1960-64 time period.
Could you imagine what the hyper-reactionary folks on CougarBoard would have said about Rose going below .500, even in the MWC? It's just a reflection of how hyper-entitled, knee-jerk college fandom has crept into BYU's fan base, and it's very sad.
