    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    Omaha is the easiest Airport to get through that is in a Big City. At least that I can recall. Way better than Detoilet, MSP, and say a Penn St. Get there 45 mins early with a rental. You can get in, through security. Get food. And still have to wait because no one else is flying. And they’re...

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    I really hope Ben McColloum remembers what it’s like for a College Basketball player not to receive an offer from the hometown school. Picture him in the Iowa AD’s office, pen in hand. Paper spread on the table out in front. He goes in to sign, and then - beth’s hooror as she reads it….. And...

    The University of Notorius Cheaters (UNC) Makes the Dance

    Interesting. I’ll take your word for this as I haven’t looked… and would rely on @SelectionSunday unimpeachable opinion anyhow. There is a payment schedule for participating teams that last 7 years (I think) after the tourney from the NCAA. That could make this a much larger issue.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    I know John Wooden came to believe that. He had a ton of conference/local success with his culture and was looking at a bad year in 1963-64. His assistant Johnny Norman convinced him to switch to Zone Press to match his team. They’re tallest guy was 6-7 (i think). Obviously height was a much...

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    I would actually say pre Thorson that describes the school better under Ed Cassidy. Always in the State Tournament and just blew people away with offense. Thorson brought Motion Offense and Strong Defense. It was quite the change at first, because they were used to a dominating games...

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    De La Salle was absolutely known for Defense under Thorson. As were players he developed. Including Gabe K, Alan Anderson and a ton of others.

    What is easier? Getting to a bowl game, or making the NCAAs?

    In Football you can choose 3-4 easy teams to get to your 6. They all count the same. In basketball you get punished if your wins are too easy. There are 68 men's bball out of 352 that make NCAAs. about 19%. In foosball it is 84 bowl teams out of 134 (72 bowl teams + 12 playoff teams). That is...

    Oh he's correct. He missed the Op addressing it, and calls the OP the idiot. Especially when considering the OP's history and obvious intent. The OP clearly notes he knows no more. Best to do what you did and speculate. Or he could at least ask. It's the same obvious question we all have. We...

    I see, so there is "literally" a rule. Well, that changes things.... Perhaps you can tell me next why you interpreted that that wasn't addressed in the OP? Next, you can tell me why that's an example of idiotic behavior?

    Hmmm, Are you sure? @PeterMac05 has scooped things in the past that no one else knew, and has been correct. He's done it multiple times. For example he had Hawkins transfer info. Well before it was even speculated. You didn't need to call him an idiot for posting this in an unassuming manner...

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    David Roddy was recognized and developed by Dave Thorson. There are numerous articles on how it went down. I’ve eead Roddy explain (I’m paraphrasing here) that said he was hearing from top coaches (not sure whom anymore) that missed certain skills. He had better school offers, but Dave kept...

    You would only owe us 250k, so not bad. However, that is the bottom rate for everyone, So say you have a 401K, house, etc we will then negotiate a higher rate based on assets and the ATSGopher scale. Its like the Jimmy Johnson NFL trade value chart, but modifed for old people that want the...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Juwan Howard threw a punch. Should have been let go within 10 minutes. He got two more years of underachieving. Probably got those extra years because he’s otherwise a likeable dude. Plus the fab five were kind if heroes back in the day. He got coach of the yr award. The coach of the yr...
