I wouldn't mind seeing someone else as the KU HC soon.

Pretty crazing coming on here and dissing the winningest coach since 2003 in all of bb. Everyone wants championships, but you need to have six favorable matchups in a row, decent officiating, and no injuries

Shhh

I know nothing about basketball.

And what, playing KJ or Clemence or JWill at the 5 was the solve?
Like you and rockchalkblog have been jerking off to all season long?
Dave was open, repeatedly, ( and fouled late on a miss ) but that wasn't the issue. It was just not finishing and missing threes in the last moments. We weren't out coached. It was a good game against two top 10 teams.

You still know nothing about basketball.

He was.
We weren't getting the ball to him.

Here, let me hedge my bets, and say, in a single elimination tournament of 68 teams, we will only be maybe the top 8 of those teams.

God dude.

LOL. Just out of curiosity, who do you think we should hire

We’ve come up short in every high stakes road game this season and managed to lose them all in unique ways.

We came out tonight like gangbusters and looked like a well-oiled machine. Then Self got cute with the lineup and Drew found an answer to not having JTT…

Self didn’t make adjustments. Nobody could make shots.

We took a step back tonight and now play 3 games the next 7 days.

Let’s see what happens, but if we end up sharing the title you have to look back on road games that we found ways to lose. Tonight being one. Austin another.

Honestly the only team I pay close attention to is KU so I couldn’t even name any of the up-and-coming coaches from smaller programs. They are always out there though just like Self was at one point after Williams left. All I know is that there are a lot of coaches doing more or as much as Self with less talent. Even Scott Drew. I would throw up in my mouth if he was ever KU’s HC but it’s just a fact that he has been better over the last few years.
