Here's something that really bugs me

[Ragman2000]

When the announcer says that JB is only X number of games from tying Bob Knight.

No, he's 2 games away from 1000 actually. I don't understand why ESPN can't acknowledge reality despite what the stupid NCAA says.

I don't care what anyone says, the loss of wins hurts most to this fan.

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Agreed. it really grinds my gears too. I'd rather they not say anything at all.

 

[elkeed]

I agree and frankly it insults my intelligence. The new AD better address this issue with his boys at ESPN or I'm going to kick his ass back to Bristol.

I agree. At a minimum give both figures. How can they simply state the lower figure as though the other 100+ wins never occurred. It's like they bought in hook, line and sinker to this NCAA fantasy world where games that were played suddenly don't exist.

I understand how the University can be required to tow the line on this issue, but supposedly independent media outlets??? It just seems like a misrepresentation to say JB will pass Bob Knight with 4 more wins without saying more. FU he already passed Bob Knight.

It eats at me too. We need our AD to get on the horn with his 'ol colleagues over there and set them straight. Va fangul!

 

[OrangeDW]

The only positive is that Boeheim gets to pass Knight twice.

McDunnough and Bilas were good about doing this. Noting both totals.

 

[AZOrange]

I could've sworn during the game they also said he's at 996.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I have JB at 1326 wins.*
