Leon Rice is a fantastic basketball coach. In fact, Leon Rice is—without question (do not question me on this)—the best basketball coach in Boise State history. Leon Rice is such a good—and transformational—coach that he has really earned the mulligan he’ll graciously receive for the 2018-2019 basketball season...because hoo boy, it has been a stinker. To my knowledge, OBNUG’s lack of basketball coverage this season isn’t the reason for the slide; that’s been a combination of scheduling conflicts and apathy. No, it’s a lack of consistency, leadership, star power, and good old-fashioned bad luck at the heart of Boise State’s woes.
