Add the context or it will seem like he is similar to Pitino. At stops of 5 years when he was at a place 5 years what did he do compared to here. 5 years at UW, winning %, tourney appearances, final 4.
With Merrill gone the only guy that sticks out is Queta. I'd take him, not sure if they could get him eligible for next year but he would be a solid replacement for Oturu. Catches the ball, passes well and defends.
I am told constantly on here that there is no context that changes such a record.
They finished #2 in the regular season, under SDSU with one loss all year and #4 in the nation. Got the #2 seed, and won the damn thing. It’s an auto-bid only league. 2017 they won the conf regular season, but lost by 3 to arch-rival South Dakota St in the conf tourny final. 2018, what can you say South Dakota St had a dominate year. They got 2nd regular and conf tourny, again, even though they had a better record.
Other than, that was Monson's second year as a head coach, total.
Have it your way then. Look at it any way you want. Infer that it is the same thing that you included WSU, forgot the final 4 with his 1st full class, built UWGB to better than we are here after 7 years. You just cherry picked over two total building jobs versus 7 at one. You ignored the vast majority of the answer to draw a parallel to Pitino. Hell, his own father would not put him in that class period.
I think he has some clouds around him that keeps him staying put
Wow, I had not heard that. Thanks.
I think it’s same investigation surrounding AZ and some others
Yes, specifically the same recruit that Louisville paid 100,000 to the family of Brian Bowen. Lot of calls between Mcdermott and Dawkins.
Someone still believes this? And let me guess - we never actually made it to the moon.
I think it’s 50/50 that Pitino is back. And if he is, Williams Arena begins to resemble Mariucci.
We wouldn’t give credit to Pitino because his career B1G record is abysmal and he hasn’t shown he can coach.
Well, he has certainly hit the program average for NCAA appearances and he was Big Ten coach of the year. So he certainly can coach and it is a little nutty and mean spirited to say otherwise. Whether or not he can ultimately have the success we all want here, is another issue.
Agreed. Pitino might turn out to be a great coach (I'm not convinced but maybe), but it just feels like you need the change here at this point in time with the fanbase and what's happened over 7 years.
Who is your choice to replace rp, galt? Just want to make sure you are on the record.
Your data is one year outliers compared to his overall body of work. He was coach of the year because we were historically bad and then mediocre.
Coyle should figure out who a better replacement is. What is painfully obvious after 7 years is that Pitino isn’t a good coach. As long as his replacement doesn’t play the boring style of basketball that Virginia and Wisky play I really have no preferences other than it better not be Medved.
He can coach and it is foolish to say otherwise. Add an NIT title achieved with mirrors to the list. Again, I am happy to see change if it is a really good one. There is just no need to be as nasty and wrong as you were there. Whatever rings your chimes though...
he also has a low 3 star center committed and an unranked SG. neither of which would get any of us excited about him bringing them along I don't think. although the Center is a big boy. 6-9 250.
No nikko and no "boring style". Quite a strong feeling there, galt.
So because someone doesn’t have a strong opinion on who the next coach should be we should just continue to roll with Pitino? What a terrible take.
So keep Pitino and his abysmal record, right? The next 7 years will be better, right?
He's not saying that. He's just saying that maybe you should take a chance and put your solution out there. You are so certain you know what they should do with Pitino, so what is the next step in your view? Who would you go after?
