Then I guess maybe your reading comprehension isn't as good as it used to be.
"As long as you play well enough to make the tournament, 20 vs. 30 doesn't matter if you make the FF." Where is that 'dismissing' 30 win seasons?
"Would I be happy to be undefeated in the regular season? Absolutely." Where is that 'dismissing' 30 win seasons?
"And no one is dismissing anything or saying 30 win seasons don't matter. The question was would you rather have 30 wins and a Sweet 16 loss, of a mediocre season and a FF."
I didn't think I had to say "And no one is dismissing anything or saying 30 win seasons don't matter, including me. The question was would you rather have 30 wins and a Sweet 16 loss, of a mediocre season and a FF."
So, for the record, no one is dismissing anything or saying 30 win seasons don't matter, including me. Once more, the OP asked, "If you could choose, would you prefer 30 wins and sweet 16 loss or 14 losses + Final 4?"
I chose. It's not your choice, and that's fine. I was ecstatic when we won all those games, and I wish we do it again very soon. But if the choice comes down to 30 wins or a Final Four, I'm choosing Final Four. Every time. Every single time.
If you think that is dismissing 30 win seasons, I don't know what to tell you. :noidea:
