Around College Basketball

[IDRAFT]

If a player wanted to sign a legal agreement with me that he will not enter the portal as long as I’m coach I would keep him no matter how he plays. If not, then loyalty is a two way street.

College sports is a business like any other. Coaches and players will leave at the first opportunity if they think the grass is greener elsewhere. Coaches have 2-3 years to have success before they themselves get fired. Deion inherited a 1-11 team, the players they had weren't meant for that level. He had to overhaul that roster.

If Narducci inherited a culture crushing player like Curbelo he would kick him out the door without hesitation.

Thoughts? Same applies to CBB?

Totally disagree--new coach was brought in to WIN and how he perceives the players from a 1-11 team dictates who stays and who goes. If he keeps the 1-11 players then he should rent not buy a house.

Would anyone care if a new coach took over a losing of a pro football team and did the exact same thing? Of course not. Let's face facts people, we are taking about pro sports now. So all of this is completely acceptable IMO.

Musselman is not a better coach than Rick Pitino!

After leaving Nevada, Musselman has taken Arkansas to the Elite Eight in each of the past three seasons. In terms of what have you done in the last five years, Musselman takes the cake and eats it.

Who would you rather have coaching your team?

Who would you rather have coaching your team?

That's easy. The guy who just took us to three straight elite eights with a good chance of winning it all next year and the year after.

I get U.S.-based pro soccer team vibes from it.

Why not just go all the way and change to the Snowflakes?

Counterrevolutionaries

 

[kranmars]

It’s a good thing GW picked that dopey name change. I heard from a source that part of rebranding SJU was a name change as well.

One of the considerations was “Red-volutionaries”, which is now off the list because it is too close to GW’s.

B1G should also get Utah: strong academics, mountain time zone, very good sports tradition

They could have chosen “the Theys.”

Our fight song could then be "The Internationale."
