Sean Miller is already losing me
hereās my question, one that iāve had for decades now, that still has no answer: why is it a federal crime to post judgment and negativity? why do so many of you react this way every single time someone is critical of shaka smart, sam ehlinger, quinn ewers, jarrett allen, rodney terry, ted lasso, game of thrones, rick & morty, and on and on and on? you can post a million supportive words that say āthis coach/player/tv show is the best!!!ā and nobody has a problem with it, but as soon as youāre like, āyeah this guy isnāt good enoughā, or, āthis tv show isnāt as good as it used to beā everyone is all ThEn wHy ArE yOu EvEn pOsTiNg AbOuT It??!?!?? itās so stupid. and itās antithetical to the entire purpose of shaggy. pancho, you were like the third member of shaggy and youāre in here making this weak ass argument? āif you donāt have anything nice to say then donāt post at allā? why are yāall like this? especially you? itās so obviously stupid and backwards, and yet it never fails.

Iām not ready to start the āFire Sean Millerā thread, although i could have just as easily titled this thread, āWe Should Not Have Hired Sean Miller In The First Placeā, because thatās how i felt about the prospect of hiring him to begin with, and now only ~6 weeks into his inaugural season iām pretty much checked out and assuming that not much is going to change that, not only over the course of this season, but going into next season as well. as has been posted here many times, sean miller hasnāt really done shit in the last 10 years. his only good teams came more than a decade ago when he was cheating his ass off, and he showed even more obvious character issues with the way that he immediately ditched Xavier for the Texas job after Xavier had welcomed him back home with a soft landing spot and open arms after his fbi/cheating scandal at arizona. the guy looked like a star 10 years ago, but thatās eons ago in the world of college basketball. since then, his resume is āmehā. miller has won a tourney game in two of his last 10 seasons. heās missed the tourney three times during that span, soon to be four. he hasnāt made the elite 8 during that time, and heās never made the final four. six out of the last nine years his team has finished the season ranked lower than where it started in kenpom. he also does not have a system that he can lean on and recruit to. he just gathers talent and then sees what he can do with it, and those coaches are becoming dinosaurs. speaking of grabbing talent, our highly rated recruiting class for next year is three shooting guards, none of whom will be an impact player next year. in fact only one of the three projects to be a guy who gets more than 15-17 minutes next year. these are guys who will take years to develop as part of a more complete roster, they are not game changers. so not only does this season look bleak, but the future doesnāt look any better. ideally, at this program, in year two, a player like Vok should be your 5th best player, maybe 4th best if he cuts down on fouls and silly mistakes. as of now heās going to be our best player next year. so unless miller is able to sign a transfer class with four different guys who are going to come in and be better than Vok will be (and at least one of them needs to be a high end PG, and another needs to be a 2-3 level scorer) then i donāt see how next year is going to be markedly different than this one. the guys i talked to when the miller rumors were really heating up said that CDC has wanted him for years and was basically zoned in on him. he figured heād be a safe hire with a high floor who would cost a lot less than tommy lloyd, or anyone else we may have considered had we actually had any ambition when it came to this hiring. so now here we are, still wandering the goddamn desert like he have been since ~2012, save the oases that were shakaās first year and beardās cup of coffee with the program. and i donāt see no more oases on the horizon. i see a disjointed roster full of third tier sec players and a future thatās more of the same. iāve never been this down so n a coach this early into his tenure, in any sport, but what the fuck man. thereās just no objective, fact based argument that says that sean miller has Texas Basketball anywhere near being in a good position- not now, and not for the future. shit is depressing.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
nobody over 30 will care, but the players care, and itās going to become a big deal at some point in the future, the equivalent of the FA Cup in soccer. the young guys in the league are mostly rich, cultured, and fans of soccer, plus we have a ton of international players for whom this kind of tourney is old hat. those guys care, and while the rest of us really donāt care right now (in the competitionās infancy), iāll bet you that in 10 years itās become a really big deal.- Trumps War on Everything
