  1. you don’t have to qualify it like that, oats is easily a top 5 coach in america. it’s maddeningly simple too: when asked about his offensive philosophy oats said, “the three best shots in basketball are a catch and shoot three, a dunk, and a free throw; so that’s what we take.” as painfully obvious as that sounds, it doesn’t occur to most coaches to play this way and recruit to this style. it certainly never occurred to shaka or RT to implement “take good shots” as part of their philosophies or game plans.
  2. hell, chris beard was maybe the biggest name in coaching, was at an in-state rival, had just signed a long term extension that made him the 4th highest paid coach in america, with a huge buyout, and we got him no problem. yes, he’s an alum, i’ll give you that. that doesn’t change how appealing this job is. rick barnes turned down kentucky to stay here 15 years ago. this has been a destination gig for a long time now.
  3. no high level coach is scared of any job, and definitely not this one. UK, Duke, Indiana? sure. there’s a ton of pressure to perform there, right away. not at Texas. budget, city, recruiting ground, expectations, athletic department, the brand, the salary- this is a top 5-10 job in america and has been for a long time. the shaka smart hiring/extension and the chris beard fiasco have made people forget that, but it’s still true. no other job even comes close to having this many perks with such low expectations. it’s a dream job for most coaches.
  4. super subs!! we are the deepest team in europe! COYG!!! 🔴⚪️
  5. that’s how you make an impact calafiore!!! COYG!! 🔴⚪️
  6. noni is surprisingly strong, his hold up play is excellent.
  7. i cannot believe we haven’t scored again.
  8. looks like a calf injury, which usually means 1-2 months. hope im wrong, or that it’s very minor.
  9. kenpom has us losing 80-78
  10. trossard injured, madueke coming on.
  11. well fuck.
  12. TIMBEEEERRRRR!!!!!
  13. COYG!! 🔴⚪️
  14. i just do not like this team. nothing personal against any of the players, but this is a poorly constructed roster that’s full of holes that will not be filled by any amount of growth or familiarity. sec play will be brutal, and i honestly don’t even want to play in any postseason tourney that isn’t the big dance. i haven’t been this resigned this early since shaka’s 11-win team. this will be a lost year that is very tough to enjoy.
  15. i’ve been harping on this all year with Vok, every single time he touches the ball he brings it down below his waist for no reason. i’ve benched middle school kids for that. he drives me nuts.

  17. we’re 7-7 from deep in the 2h.
  18. these guys from chaminade aren’t bad offensively, they just offer zero resistance whatsoever on the other end.
  19. chaminade splashes the half court shot to end the half. 52-36 at the half.
  20. 10 turnovers. this might be an episode of impractical jokers. im trying to spot the ear pieces on every single player on our team.
  21. pope really looks to get his own shot, which is good, because he’s a terrible shooter.
  22. through 10:30 we have 9 to’s.
  23. 66% of chaminade’s points are off of turnovers. we turned it over as i typed that and chaminade immediately hit a three.
