I know that not a single thing I have said on this thread has been a shot at Hubert. I think Scheyer got an awfully big win yesterday and he's going to have the #1 overall seed in the tournament. I don't know that stating that is praise. Seems to me to just be stating the obvious.
You have that diagnosis exactly backwards in this thread. Many of us have gone to great lengths in this thread to avoid criticism of Coach Davis in any way but there are a couple of posters who absolutely insist on seeing any discussion of any coach in college basketball as an indictment of...
So do you think schools overall should just divest from hiring expensive coaches and install placeholders? Do coaches make any difference at all in the construction of their own rosters?
See, this part I just do not understand. From my experience working in recruiting (baseball admittedly is small time by comparison), it was all about how the coaching staff handled it. I don't recall anyone from the university ever being involved in our recruiting efforts other than the...
I never said it was an insult. I said it was being a dick for no particularly good reason. And that it was. I think the Duke fans on this board have gone out of their way to be quiet when Duke gets bashed and that's not easy to do when you love your school. I am not saying anyone has to love...
You missed it intentionally. A Duke fan posted something entirely innocuous and was met with something like "there's that Duke horseshit we have come to hate".
By the way, some of y'all are dicks for no reason to the Duke fans on the board. I haven't seen a single Duke fan ever get out of line or rag on Carolina. I get that it is a board born of UNC fans but that doesnt mean we have to be insufferable cocksuckers to people who engage in well meaning...
Serious question...what is coaching responsible for in a program to you? If neither Scheyer nor Hubert get credit nor blame for their talent and rosters and the teams would be the same if the coaches were swapped, what is it that you view as being related to the ability of the head coach?
Well thats really a question of what the spend is. I am simply saying if it is so much dramatically higher than anyone else (as is often presented here as a fact), then indeed he should be winning titles.
I am doubtful the spend is that extravagant, for what it's worth.
