The fans are blamed for not showing up and supporting the basketball team and the fans blame the team's poor play for not showing up. Both are right but I lean more towards the fans needing something to cheer for. It's an investment of time and money to go watch a below average product.
Agreed. My reasoning is that we pay to watch the games (I'm a student but still). Coaches are paid to win. So logically the burden of success falls to the coaches and team.
