Refs gotta let them play too many of these weak foul calls

You have no idea what you are talking about half the things you say aren't true.

I follow the draft closer than I follow anything in sports.



1. Draftexpress had in the top 3 the whole year. when they start doing the mocks that take into account teams needs he never moved from

you can check if you'd like, januray draft express page http://web.archive.org/web/20131231023702/http://www.draftexpress.com/

2. Chad Ford BEFORE THE SEASON polled gm's and had Chris Walker as the 28th pick, the difference between being 28th and 48th is a bad workout. and he immediate fell of the board once the season started.


3. you really want to cherry pick random times early in the scouting process? because nbadraft.net will have more ridiculous mocks.

they had Samaj Criston as a top 5 pick.

Kyle Anderson as a top 5 pick. Cleanthony early lottery.

. had kelly oubre as a the second pick caris levert top 5.

NBAdraft.net is no more informed than you or I...well maybe no more informed than me.

now back to college bball talk.

You can literally just cherry pick anytime you want before the season and you will see outrageous draft orders/comparisons. Point is, all of these sites have some weaknesses and one shouldn't be discounted just b/c you perceive it as amateur.

Nonetheless, you just parrot Chad Ford/Zach Lowe types...so if it's not coming from them, you don't consider it.

[quote name="quise2024"]My ole lady mighty quiet she want ND to win[/quote]People can want UCONN to lose championships all they want.

It doesn't happen.

 

[you go boy]

geno wins championships like its a yearly tradition

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I hope Geno pays his players as well as the men are paid at UConn.

 

[darthska]

10 championships, son.

On some John Wooden vibe.

I mean, it's impressive. But with the lack of talent being spread out and such a huge disparity in resources that stifles parity, it isn't John Wooden level IMO. People complain about Calipari, but Geno literally has Calipari-esque UK teams almost every year.

UCONN

Their dominance is absurd.

I mean if lack of talent being spread is the criteria, then John Wooden isn't ****. Just a cheater.

I have no opinion on women's hoops but I never like seeing John Wooden being gassed up like he is some noble guy who brought basketball out of the stone age.

 

[quise2024]

The only person losing is KML ... Expect #4 next year

Geno has figured recruiting and Xs/Os in a way that puts him FAR above everyone else, to the point where he now has 10 championships and a perfect season (like 04 or something).

Wooden wasn't coaching against today's Duke/UK/Wisconsin/MSU teams. The game was FAR less evolved than it is now. Yes, his teams played who they played, but it was an era where if someone figured out recruiting and Xs/Os better than everyone else, they would dominate. There weren't dozens of teams that had these freakish athletes that could make up for the fact that maybe their coach was inferior to the opposing coach.

Geno has figured it out in a way that won't be made up for by other teams' rosters of freakish talent. There are no other rosters that are going to make up for how much better he is and how much better the program is that he's built. He is far and away better than the rest of the field... like John Wooden was.

 

[frshstunna]

Chad ford sucks, he just got that ESPN behind him

 

[hypebeast5]

Idk Geno's dominance isn't that impressive to me

He basically has recruiting down to a monoply, gets all the best players and in womens basketball no one is rushing to go pro

So he has the best players for 3-4 years, and hes a good coach as well, so its basically not fair

I understand the climate of what Wooden was up against. My argument is more focused on Auriemma though. It's impressive what he's doing, but I'm really not amazed by it. He literally has a roster chock full of his choice of McDAA each year. Sure he has figured it out in a way that puts him far above anyone else, but also there just isn't as many good women's bball coaches as there are on the men's side. Schools lose money with these women's programs and aren't even willing to up the budgets necessary. It's impressive what he's done, but I'm really not wowed by the accomplishments really. I almost feel like he should be doing it. I know I probably sound ridiculous. I'm fine with that.

dacomeup

Exactly +1

Couldnt have worded it any better, and these players he gets stay all 4 years while he has more coming in

 

[darthska]

But... he's responsible for the McDAAs that come in.

You feel like he SHOULD be winning... without recognizing that every reason you can come up with is something that is SOLELY to his credit, something he is responsible for.

So is he a great recruiter or a great coach?

Honest question

 

[darthska]

BOTH. Hence the dominance.
