Easily the best analysis I’ve read on the topic to date. Hits on all the factors I consider dispositive.

As ridiculous as saying “I don’t want a glass of water for lunch, give me a different drink please”, while also asserting that there will be no difference in the outcome for me if my replacement is a glass of battery acid versus Pepsi?

Non-unique. Everything said here applies to any alternative course of action also.

Coyle has earned my confidence when it comes to the ADs ability to make good hiring/firing decisions

Why?

I have watched every game on the schedule over the past three seasons. You are right, I spelled Pitino’s name wrong. Anything of substance to add?

It appears to me that he put the chair down of his own accord. At first glance it looked like someone grabbed it but I don't actually see anyone pulling it from him by force. I'm guessing he turned around because he heard one of his coaches yelling behind him.

I'm glad Oturu didn't take any flak from Lamar at the end of the game. We've all had enough time to judge Oturu's character and I trust his judgement to jaw off accordingly

In that case your personal assessment does not comport with reality

If the point is to discuss realistic pathways to selection it seems to defeat the purpose behind the poster's post, to not provide it again as a tool, now that the discussion is worth having. There are reasonable questions raised based off of the past two games suggesting that the first...

When I think of Amir Coffey I tend to have trouble analyzing him in comparison to his counterparts in the league. Which top 100 teams have a player that resembles Coffey's game in terms of talent, skill set and style of play.
