  1. Ok I already explained it before to you but you seem to unwilling to listen (and have a reputation for it) Physical defense -> waste of time in march (note I don't mean hustle, hustle is extremely important), time and time again the whistles are swallowed during the regular season but not during the tournament and all of a sudden the game turns into a FT contest which leads us to flaw #2 Barnes refuses to prioritize FT-> This is the single most important shot in college, it is not even close, it is the only reliable way to shorten deficits, and only reliable way to increase leads. Maybe in the NBA the 3 pt shot is more valuable but only because pros are really good at FT negating the advantage. You need to stop shooting 3s when cold -> yes he stopped doing this in the 2nd half vs Houston and surprise surprise they more than doubled their first half score. But by then it was so fucking laughably late My dream coach: Runs a smart defense, switching on the perimeter to avoid screens, lots of energy but at the same time does not do those useless double blocks (see RT). FT obviously, maybe have a merchant or two. Runs a modern offense with off ball movement to create spacing, it can be the triple post or the motion offense, BUT the coach is not afraid to have clutch players go iso and run their hot hands. Give this coach talent and he wins multiple national titles
  2. I don't disagree, he is a great coach, but for fucks sakes I want to win a national title in basketball, you know how disappointing it is to start a season and know for a fact that it will simply won't happen? His philosophy is deeply flawed, his football doppleganger is Brian Ferentz. And Barnes has had NBA all star talent
  3. Rick Barnes has a ceiling, it is not luck, it is not talent, it is his coaching. The same glaring flaws 20 years ago are still there today, there is no way to explain it other than stubbornness. Sean Miller better be more open minded to learn from his failures.
  4. They might not win or score much but at least they started paying attention to driving the lane, and the 3s came after that.
  5. The shot chart says otherwise it was an insane 3 point desperation game.
  6. Start pushing for good layups or get to the FT line any way possible (except Barnes teams always sucked at FT), aka calming down. Like someone mentioned this is deja vu x 20
  7. Kelvin Sampson used to own Barnes hard for a while too I think it was 8 straight wins at some point
  8. Those thousands of Aggies in the Waffen SS must have felt like a million dollars, conquer Poland and then woop woop a MNC vs Tulane. Of course then the monkey paw curled.
  9. Considering they won a national championship in WBB their collapse kinda diproves the hilarious theory that they are cursed, its just top down rot in the entire athletic department. Every single coach whether through verbal interaction, or just feeling vibes, every single one realizes that they can just coast and make easy money since on the other side you have rubes that will whoop and holler at everything. Hence their signature slogans, "Get your licks in now", "its not how it used to be", "We are a real program now" that is it that is all you need to buy time with the cult.
  10. Yeah its so fucking good it is like a time capsule so much wrong but so much right! Monkey's paw curls #1 I mean I don't need to say more Monkey's paw curls #2 They did beat Bama. and yet were still a 5 loss team
  11. Whatever happened to Brothers Before Others? So good
  12. I needed the extra strong stuff today, So I told an LLM to parse the zoo, here is the full week of Aggie's 9/11 sorted by most replies
  13. Saw this on reddit each SS team's starting five and where their original school.
  14. #3 is absolutely true he was Chris Park and Schloss tweeted when they were bragging about the George Strait concert.
  15. I honestly can't think of any Texas BB hire that the media has not slobbered, and they have been 100% wrong (character is still relevant). At the end of the day a good AD is the #1 determinant of success and CDC is that, but I would never trust the media who sees Texas as a Tier III basketball school
  16. An argument could be made that he gets a mulligan year if he can't get any transfers in, specially with 2 nattys on his wall. That said Billy did have the same reputation as a coach that could not get over the hump, before he actually did it, but I don't remember the specifics why.
  17. See I see this as the worst case scenario. Good enough to not get fired bad enough to never ever win a natty. I already lived that with Barnes and it took forever to move on. Admittedly I could lower expectations for FF on a super stacked field so 2003 was the only time I was happy. That was one sick NBA draft, even with LeBron skipping college.
  18. I presume since grave robbing is a crime while dumpster diving with the half-ass attempt to find the owner means he just made $1119
  19. What type of defense does Miller run? I am so damn tired of the physical defense we always seem to run and then splatter when we reach the tournament, we need smarter defense with the ability to switch and deal with screens. At the end of the day it is the variability on 3pt shots, and well free throws, that can turn a cupcake into a cinderella. I am definitely eating some choice words about comparing Sean Miller's Arizona teams to the choking team up north.
  20. Man I love a well classified prime steak, so never really made too much fun of meat judging, but this is getting out of hand with the agro shit, next thing you know they will win the Directors cup of agro judging. That and well the sheep jokes
  21. The bald mamba was dearly missed by us Lakers fans, pretty dumb to let him leave.
  22. Yes it's called seeing unfixable coaching flaws. I can go into detail. The same flaws I see 20 years later and no national championship for him. Honestly sweet sixteen is not what I want, that is just a step.
  23. What is the mood on premium after their class getting flipped?
  24. linux replied to Derka's topic in Cloak Room
    The CHIPS act is over, everyone that dealt with enforcement was fired, they will pocket all the tax payer money they can and never build a real fab, it is so blatantly obvious, it is ridiculous how anybody could fall for banana republic import substitution. I am a proponent of import substitution, but done right, done correctly, this is not what this is, it is a clown show that will just waste money and give Trump propaganda with voters. It is funny how the invisible hand, comparative advantage, washington consensus and/or laissez faire is dead and buried, everyone is now fully on board with the shit I was a proponent off decades ago. The US could have had a soft economic landing instead we are headed for an economic collapse with stupid tariffs based on the whims of a petty man.

    Samsung's fab is not going to finish, with the CHIPS act enforcement dismantled they have all the incentive in the world to just pocket the money and not build a thing. Potemkin villages It is a tale as old as time, when you have a banana dictatorship that only cares about optics and never about results there is no shortage of international companies willing to whore out for a photoop groundbreaking ceremony.
