What a difference an off-season makes. After finishing the the season 15-17, UCLA Basketball fans were calling for the termination of Head Coach Steve Alford.
The Bruins lost their last five games, they went 2-8 in their last 10 games, finished 10th in the Pac-12 with a 6-12 record, lost for a third time in the season to USC with a first round exit in the Pac-12 and missed the NCAA Tournament completely.
That did not sit well with Bruin fans. There was an outpour of displeasure that was aimed at the UCLA Athletic Department complete with a fan petition.
