Message: [QUOTE="M2MPrinciples, post: 5285641, member: 928"] I agree with Jim that I didn't expect Bell to still be in the tank, but depending on Bell to be one of your 2-3 best players is the root of that problem, which goes back to talent evaluation and roster management and NIL. I'm a little more sympathetic to cutting Red some slack for losing JJ, but even with him we were barely eking out wins against garbage teams, so that excuse only goes so far too. He's also not going to criticize Red. Something JB and Paulie didn't mention about why the SEC is so good is that a few years before NIL Sankey told its membership to start paying for quality coaches. Obviously the money for players can't be ignored, but setting Duke and UNC aside because they're special cases, I think the ACC has some decent coaches but not on par with the moves the SEC has made since 2016.
