A. Are a top 2 seed in the tourney next year
B. Make it to the Sweet 16"

I almost asked about that yesterday, because I can't find it anywhere else.

This morning I was flipping thru my future recordings, saw the KU vs Ill game is recording Sunday at 6E, and found out the Big10 Network is part of a sports package I already had with Xfinity.
Dum luck.

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self met with reporters on Friday.
Bill Self previews KU basketball's season opener, what he wants to see
"...and I'm a firm believer that early in the season if you're basing your offense and defense on the scout report, that's not good. You have to develop a pitch, that you can throw at 2 & 1, or 3 & 1, or 3 & 2, that the other guy will struggle to hit. You can't just try and tinker and come up with something that will work with just this particular situation..."

Amen.
Don't get beat off the dribble one on one.
Rotate and rotate back quickly on p&r defense.
Basics.
And can you move your damn feet faster, Hunter?

Good.
I also feel that we need to take whatever number Lance wants, and multiply it by 1.5. I don't think we should look at it as the cost of our second-most-important coach. I think we should look at it as the cost of staying inside the cut line when the time comes (which it will, soon) for a break from the NCAA.

Good for Bill - but this just helps reiterate that I live in a sick world.
Just yesterday I was thinking/knowing it is asinine that Craig Counsell will get paid 8 million a year by the Cubs.
Today I am learning Bill Self, who was already getting paid a LOT of money and was very content with what he was getting paid, is going to get even more money. Because......
Meanwhile, there are people working 8-12-16-18 hour shifts 5, 6, or even 7 days a week, busting their asses to just to survive and feed and clothe their kids, and some of them aren't getting paid $30,000/$35,000 a year.
But hey, I'll say it again, good for Bill.

If the people busting their ass were the best in their industry and that industry generated tens of millions of dollars of profit largely off of their work, they would be getting paid a ridiculously high sum as well.

There are a surprisingly large number of people making a million plus out there. Comparing the best coach in the sport to us shmoes on the street is just corny whining.

There are a much much much larger number of people in the situation gutter described.
Go tell them that they are just corny whiners.
This of course is for a different bored - so I'll leave it at that.
