"It's a big job to turn this basketball program around; anyone who thinks differently is way off," Heeke said."
That's what happens when the AD is afraid to act. He let Zeigler own him. He let Zeigler run that program almost to death. Heeke was so afraid that he kept extending Zeigler's contract. In the end all Heeke's decisions regarding the Court Jester were dead wrong.
Allowing the jester to bully players until they quit
Allowing the jester to use racial slurs to intimidate players
Allowing the jester to punish players by denying food
Allowing the jester to bring in players everyone knew were trouble
Allowing the jester to establish an acceptance of poor study and resultant issues
Allowing the jester to curse his way thru game after game without reprimand
Allowing the jester to lie about his dealings with players
Allowing CMU's once proud reputation to be completely destroyed by the jester
Frankly, I hold Heeke more responsible for the destruction of the men's program than I do Zeigler. Heeke allowed it to happen by refusing to make the needed change when all knew what was happening.
