A. A plus is the national title.

outplayed in every category but can still win.

He inherited a terri le situation but it is his job to find the solution. Most disappointing thing so far is still not establishing a identity of lockdown defense, toughness, efficiency. Damn surprised by that with Thorson on staff. I would think he will get two more years to show upper half of...

Hockey fan. Plus most wealthy people want ROI. Social media is the best path for big big NIL deals. Those are few and far between. The smaller 10,000 type deals are worked out locally . Several programs are doing very well with players that have very small NIL deals.

Rick Pitino will be announced as St. John's coach tomorrow.

No comparison necessary. One had 8 years to prove he would become one of the worst coaches in conference games. One has had two. One inherited something that could play. One inherited a losing mess created by the other. Just depends on how you want to look at it. FYI, every team has injuries...

Possible but they will be 8-8 in the MW and have they not lost 6 of 7 before tonight.

UVA had a historically great ppp offense in '19. 1.23 is incredibly efficient.

That is a factor with all the bragging about the extra 100 million per year and the new landscape is not as attractive to many fans. Plus many young people have found a different way to watch sports, gambling other entertainment options etc.. Nearly everyone I sat with is gone. They have decided...

Head coaches get credit when they hire good assistants. This staff is recruiting very well. We just need to see them become upperclassmen.

Only in response to those who bring up what Pitino is doing now. I have not cited his conference record by number. I hope he does well where he is now. Much easier job now. He proved to be terrible here. Johnson has his chance to do better now. Patience is a virtue.

Said if you could not contend by year 5 or 6 that you do not win the conference or get to a final 4. The previous regime was historically bad over the 8 seasons. Your right in my opinion that it does not mean this was the best replacement or even equal but that change was beyond necessary.

would give ben 5 years. This was a job where nothing good was left.

Yes. patience to the process, playing several young development players. Greatest disappointment by far is the lack of defensive identity. Still way to early to call the hire a disaster. We gave the last guy 8 years of a historically bad conference record. this guy started with nothing.

Pitino's 8 year conference record speaks very clearly.
