  1. Derka, clearly I don’t get your point. That is fine. Sometimes I’m stupid. So I will clarify my point…

    Our student section has sucked for years. Like you, I hoped for a better atmosphere. This is a dream setup and I wanted to see something more like Duke. But we didn’t and after reflecting on it, it isn’t that surprising. Maybe my calculus example was bad. A better example would be ME going to a soccer game. I have no idea what I’m doing. But I would figure it out pretty quick if I lived in Barcelona and went to all the games.

    The students will improve. I say that with 100% confidence.  Beard is an expert in drumming up support. It is possible to be disappointed and hopeful at the same time.

    They won't fuck up the next hire. Because they don't have a bunch of rich cunts and asshole regents thinking they're all the next great coach evaluator. They have a system in place and will find an offensive leaning HC to come in and continue what they have built. The only thing that might derail them is the SEC move. No one knows how that will go until it goes  

    Sounds like Leach might be the perfect fit.

    I’m not sure why USC wouldn’t throw a huge offer to Lincoln Riley. He would be a moron to pick LSU over USC.

    Nobody can out recruit USC when they are rolling. Cmon. 

     

    Nailed it!  I hate being right all the time.  

  4. My main complaint against Shaka was that he abandoned Havok from the start of his tenure even though we had some teams that would have been a perfect fit for it. Maddening.

    Then occasionally we would get down and employ a full court press and it would look great.  He clearly knows how to coach that style. And the fans love it. I will never understand his stubborn refusal to do what he is best at and what the fans are begging for.

  5. KD had a much better handle than this kid. And a MUCH sweeter looking stroke.  But Holmgren looks to have more natural defensive instincts.  

    I'm personally not ready to anoint this kid yet. He isn't playing in high school anymore.  We will see how he does with physical 22 yr olds (much less grown men in the NBA).
