Yes I know but I took literary license so it would match Clark's 5 fouls. Unfortunately Marvin plays small for a guy 6'7. Ty Grant he is not!:whistle:[/quote]

Biggest reason we are not playing better. When really only playing 6 it is hard when one of 6 is playing terribly
 
[quote="Delaware" post=305928]Just watching this debacle after being out all day. What a disgrace in so many ways. Oh, and by the way, the casual look by Mullin really is piss poor. Show a little more respect for the position and the university and look the damn part, especially on the road.[/quote]
Not sure how many of these tourneys you watch. But, most coaches dress casual in these type of environments.

For those watchers of “The OffIice”...as Meredith would say “Its casual day!”

That bum coach k wore short sleeves in Hawaii. Such a disgrace to Duke.

Honestly I couldn't care less what Mullin wears as long as we continue to do well. The things people actually complain about on this forum never cease to amaze me.

As long as he wears something, I'm OK.
 
I won't get on Mullin for this too much because we are 7-0 after all and I know other coaches dress down as well. However, I do think it's important to set the tone with your attire. It's a psychological effect...people are going to take you more seriously in a suit and tie vs. in a polo shirt and khakis or the like. Please don't take that the wrong way, because I'm not saying our players don't take him seriously. IMO it's more of a respect thing that I was taught in graduate school. You are representing a fan base, a university, a basketball brand, your family, your team, your area, etc. People actually make subconscious associations based on this stuff. For example, a parent of a recruit may take a guy like Jay Wright more seriously and have more faith that he can instill a sense of honor and responsibility...just from him wearing flashy suits. Whether or not the association is true, perception is reality. Not saying it would have any effect on performance, but I'd argue it counts for something. Recruiting/perception may be one.

Well clearly when you win without the professional presentation, it affords you some flexibility. Look at a guy like Steve Jobs who wore the same basic stuff all the time. Many interpreted that as him being so smart and busy that he didn't even have time to care about such menial things as his presentation and it kind of added to his aura/legend. Similar thing happened to Bill since he won so much. I'd say these are exceptions though and probably not the rule. Just strictly my opinion here. Don't really see what good can come out of it especially when considering recruiting is a big part of our sport and you're selling yourself to a kid's parents/handlers.

Not saying it makes a big difference, but perhaps just enough of a difference where it can sway opinions and affect perceptions. Just saying, wear a nice suit and tie and you'd be surprised to see people hold the door a bit longer for you. IMO it exhibits power, confidence, responsibility, order, and prestige and many others do as well even though they aren't aware of it.

Does Bill Gates own a tie? Hell, Jamie Dimon doesn't wear ties these days. It doesn't matter to most people. If you produce, you can throw away your ties. Mullin doesn't need to wear a tie to succeed as a coach these days, but I do agree that he probably can't dress like Bill Belichick did today.
 
The hi end fancy suits for coaches in college basketball make little sense.It took off from NBA and Pat Riley, Chuck Daly etc.

The suit and tie expectation for college basketball coach is silly

College football coaches dont wear suits like Vince Lombardi, and they walk into recruits houses too.

Mullin does it, probably doesn't like it, but game was played in hot climate in front of 500 people and not broadcast on TV...just ESPN online stream
.
 
BTW just a shout out to all the fans, former players, School officials, and FL alumni who came out. Everything was top notch and we had the biggest crowd support of first 2 games. Great time was had by all who attended.

I was really impressed for our turnout with 10 teams there for the event. Did did you stay past game two? I'd like to know how well the other games were attended. I didn't see a single Georgia Tech fan...not one jersey, hat, or t-shirt. Even behind their bench was 150 or so St. John's fans. It was surprising to me that an ACC school 7 hours away didn't travel. And Miami can't even get fans to on campus games.

One thing I learned about Miami, from their years in the Big East:

They have no fan base whatsoever. The football team is the first interest there, and there is no second interest. If the men's basketball team wins three straight national championships starting this year, the program would still run second fiddle to football.
 
[quote="NCJohnnie" post=306040]Great to be in December and undefeated; while schedule may have been a bit soft we all know how easy it would have been to drop one (or more) of these games. I took a look at our next five opponents (rosters, stats & schedule/games to date) and it's really hard to see how we can lose to any of them absent a real meltdown. St. Francis did give BC a decent game and shoots the three well (37%), they'd appear to be the biggest "threat".
However, imho anyone who doesn't think we absolutely will need good minutes from Keita in BE play is a bit delusional.[/quote]

Ponds wont let us lose, but in the b.e. when teams have a lead and they double and triple team him, who will step up to take over? I'm sure heron did it at Auburn. I know LJ can, and Simon did It last year when ponds was hurt.
Just interested in who will be second man up.

So true. I have a place in Florida and I am driving around flipping the radio station in July looking for a ballgame. You know baseball. Nothing, But I did find a radio show dedicating time to the "upcoming" college football season for the Florida teams. Guy calls up to argue about which school is going to crack the Top 10 first. Again, it was July. Football, football, football.

Even football is lightly attended relative to their caliber of play. Unless it's a game v. FSU, ND, or UF you can get tix for $1. Same
Goes for basketball. You can sit courtside for $20 or less most games. $1 and $2 tix to sit higher up.

Clark shot 41% from three last year. Figgy looks to be in that 35-38% range and Heron is right there. Dixon might be better than both of those guys. Let them double and let Ponds set them up for threes and alley oops.

And then let's take all their misses and push before they can set up their defense.

Your complaining about people complaining belongs on the complaint thread. I also could care less about what Mullin wears with the same proviso "as long as we continue to do well."
As soon as we start losing however I'm going to start with his poor taste in footwear. Then I'll work my way up to his belt and ties. Then I'll complain about why the Chaplin always has the same suit on for every game, etc. And I'm not one to complain.;)
