Unless we changed all the rules, those old teams would not keep up with the Warriors and Cavs. Few notable changes.
- Zone defense is allowed now. If you remember, this is what allowed so many classic big men to dominate, since you had to devote a full double team because a defender couldn't be...
Triple Double the entire season easily.
Probably about 30-35 points per game, 15 rebounds, 12 assists. Probably nearly 5 steals and a couple blocks a game too.
If you stuck him on the current Syracuse team we'd be automatically the team to beat for the title, and likely would run the table the...
Clearly Saban told him that if Dabo won, he'd retire off into the sunset at Bama, and Dabo would take over.
Dabo is not going to the NFL. The only place Dabo goes from Clemson is to Tuscaloosa.
Coaches Film Room is consistently the 2nd most watched telecast of the national title game.
Also dunno about TWC but for Comcast, ESPNNEWS and ESPN are right next to each other. For me it's ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNNEWS, and then ESPNU
God knows the best move if revenue is threatened with basketball gate receipts, is to get stingy with paying a new coach. That's a winning move.
If the SU admins actually think like that then yeah, we'll be in trouble.
I do enjoy the mental picture of Noel, who went on to have a quasi DPOY worthy season as a rookie in the NBA, getting hooked for a mistake in the zone.
People complaining about Lydon and how he totally wouldn't do anything in the NBA, go look at NBA rookie statistics.
Alright, now that you're back and done drooling about Embiid, ROOKIES DO NOT IMMEDIATELY CONTRIBUTE. No one except the all time greats and volume players on really really bad...
Also to be frank, I think not using it as the primary set helps recruiting.
I think we'd have had a better shot at Noel a few years ago if we were a man team. Playing in a zone would have tanked his draft stock, since the only skill he'd get to show off is his help defense and weak side blocks...
Bottom line: Kids are only going to get better and better at the 3 ball, and 2-3 zone as the primary set is going to be a worse and worse idea. It worked before when coaches didn't trust the 3 ball that much, and most players couldn't hit at a decent clip. But it's basically asking for trouble...
Yeah, the rise of the 3 ball is the death of the 2-3. It used to be fine giving teams that shot once upon a time when even shooting 33% made you consider someone good at shooting the 3. Now players are coached through life about the 3 and college teams can trot out 3-4 guys who can shoot at that...
After he left the rot became very visible. While the records in Mack's last few years were fine, each season you noticed less and less underclassmen stepping up or playing at an acceptable level for Texas. Charlie Strong inherited a bare cupboard where he had to rebuild the talent again after it...
1. We're better than Villanova
2. Jay Wright is young and it's not really farfetched to believe a young coach will adapt or have the energy to make the adjustments necessary to fix things.
Someone so good who finally delivered us to the promise land but now has too much good will and cachet that he's nigh unfireable, even as rot has started to set in to the team?
Total Harbaugh thing to do. Wants Dawkins as a backup if he can't get Sampson, or time to evaluate both Sampson and Dawkins and see which one he likes more. So he throws him the offer now to slow down on the verbal and give him time to work both.
It may be premature, but I think it's time to break out the mantle again, I think we have an heir apparent.
Ridiculously Good Looking Ryan Guthre
RGLRG.
The torch has been passed Charley Loeb.
Did you guys see this?
Coaching search updates: Lincoln Riley impresses Houston, Rhule spurns Oregon
Rhule took the Baylor job over Oregon. Oregon offered him the job and he'd rather go to BAYLOR than Oregon.
Cue questions of whether there's a lot of crap going on behind the scenes at Oregon.
Good move for WVU. Holgorsen has them at around their ceiling in the B12, but he definitely has the capability to put together a conference contending team once a cycle.
