In hindsight, the only real surprise in the 2017-18 season is that it took this long for the Vanderbilt Commodores’ basketball team to have a season like this.
I fully admit to being late to the “Fire Stallings” wagon, mostly because Stallings did just enough to deserve to keep his job after 2012. 2013? Oh, that was an obvious rebuilding year, and you still finished 16-17, which is respectable. 2014? What were you supposed to do when you only had seven scholarship players available once SEC play hit? Plus they still managed to go 15-16, which seems fine under the circumstances, and the incoming recruiting class is supposed to be pretty good.
