Fair point. I was sorry I posted it after I did as well. As you may or may not be aware I am one of Monte's "snowflakes". That said if it was not clear my post was meant to be having a lighthearted go at Monte's misogynist tendencies, while the "thug" posts are using longstanding political dog whistles, whether the poster knows it or not, I apologize. Probably not appropriate lightheartedness.

I wasn't even aware that you were one of my snowflakes till you told me. As for your claim about my "misogynist tendencies", clearly you fail to differentiate between some message board/locker room, off-colored joking, and real life.austour post=459400 said:

We've had those kind of interactions before so I thought you knew, or at least assumed with my libtard tendencies. And you know what that say about jokes and online personas, there's always at least a little bit of truth in them. Signed, Snowflake
You know Im a little bit of a provocateur. Just a little bit. So sometimes I'll throw things out there(IE my use of the word "bitch slap") for fun and/or to get a bit of a rise. And just because you're a liberal(please don't use the word "libtard", I find it highly offensive), doesn't automatically mean that you're a snowflake. FWIW, I honestly never took you for a snowflake, a hypocrite or self righteous. Although there are plenty of other things I take you for /media/kunena/emoticons/cheerful.pngaustour post=459509 said:

Apparently we have Kumbaya in Around College Basketball.
Along those lines I saw a user name this morning on another platform "Hakuna MaVodka." Wish I had thought of that first.
But back to North Carolina suckitude and Juwan Howard anger management issues...

15 M buyout, not shabby and it is logical Capel gets another year;
With two games left in the regular season, Pitt sits with an overall record of 11-18 and 6-12 in the ACC. In four seasons with Pitt, Capel’s teams have records of 14-19 (3-15 in ACC), 16-17 (6-14 in ACC), 10-12 (6-10 in ACC) and 11-18 (6-12 in ACC).
That’s a combined record of 51-66 overall and 21-52 (.292) in conference play.But beyond the winning or losing, perhaps the biggest issue when it comes to whether or not Heather Lyke and Pitt will decide to make a change will be financial. Pittsburgh Sports Now has learned that Capel’s buyout after this season would be a hefty $15 million. Next season, that number drops down to $5 million.
On January 8, 2020, Lyke signed Capel to a two-year contract extension. That new deal put Capel under contract through the 2026-27 season. The length of his contract isn’t necessarily the issue, it’s the buyout that is eye-opening. Does this large buyout number guarantee that Capel is safe? No, Pitt has paid (and gotten out of paying) buyouts before. But unless someone is ready to write a huge check, it would appear that Capel will get at least one more season with Pitt.

Pitt is really on a St John's-esque run of hiring coaches - first Stalling (disaster) now Capel (very underwhelming). I guess they may live with Capel for another year for economic reasons, but doubt he lasts any longer than that. My Pitt friends are not happy, to put it mildly.

Boeheim making it clear he is not stepping aside after this year. A few weeks ago the Syracuse AD basically said Boeheim had earned the right to choose his own path wrt retirement:
“Who ever said I wasn’t?” Boeheim responded.“You don’t need to ask,” Boeheim continued. “It’s been asked and answered 26,000 times. Every press conference I gave in the beginning of the year is I have no intentions of not coaching. I’ve said it 30 times.”Syracuse sits with a 15-14 record and 9-9 in league play after Saturday’s loss. To date, Boeheim has never had a losing season.“Because we’re having a bad year, you want me to quit? I don’t quit because we’re having a bad year,” He said.

I don't like Boeheim or Syracuse but he's taken them to the Tournament the past 3 consecutive years and nearly every year for several decades. He's taken them to the Sweet 16 7 times since 2009, including 2/3 of the most recent Tournaments. Also since 2012 he's taken them to the Elite 8 3 times and the Final 4 twice.
If a St. John's coach achieved even 25% of what Boeheim has achieved at Syracuse they'd be given a lifetime contract. He deserves a couple more years at a minimum before anyone forces him out.
