Stankey done derailed the thread, which is supposed to be about the men’s NCAAT, which is happening in real time. Now. There are at least 2 other threads on which the current debate can go to.

Meanwhile, another 1 seed is about to punch their ticket unless Barnes has a miracle up his sleeve. Which he doesn’t. Tenn goes as Lanier goes, and he is off by a mile thus far today.

I mean, I'm going to respond to folks who respond to me. I pointed out how great of a job Scheyer has done coming into his role at Duke and that it looks like Katan has chosen his replacement well. We could have easily left it at that....

I can't believe you're still missing the point.

1. We could have easily left it at that? So you get to voice your opinion, and if someone disagrees, they get bombarded with accusations about things they didn't remotely say? We could have easily left it after my post as well.

2. The problem post was and continues to be: "Are you trying to say that HD is a better coach than Scheyer or Hurley?" At least in my mind. It's not about the difference between if and iff. It's about you twisting a statement that had nothing to do with HD into a statement about HD -- because, by your admission, you think about the relationship to HD all the time. Fine. I don't. Not about everything. And it's not your place to dictate the contours of the discussion to fit your mental paradigm.

To put it another way, HD could be the unrivaled best coach in the sport, or he could be the worst coach since Les Robinson, and it wouldn't have affected my post at all, which was responding to your claim that Katan (a weird spelling since there was a good NBA player by that name) had chosen a good replacement.

Super, of course folks can voice their opinion of my comment, but then folks shouldn't complain that the thread got derailed.
I thought we'd already settled what you implied with your comment? Why keep bringing it back up?
And no, Centerpiece's attempt was not the same. I explained why.
Should we move on, or should we keep discussing it?

I know. I was the first to note the thread had been derailed. And I noted there are at least 2 other threads on which this BS can try to find a home. This is neither the time nor place for it. But you guys chiming in doesn’t help anything. The fact you got your panties in a wad notwithstanding.

Nope. Definitely wasn't the thread for it. But it's also an open thread for sports - not marked UNC Sports, so then convo is fair game IMO. I mean we have folks from many different schools on this board, which, I feel, makes it way way better.

Also, completely chalk Final Four

I get it.

And yes, all chalk
 


Remaining games are the top 3 statistical matchups in CBB history

Still have serious doubts about Houston and Florida. Think Auburn has to be the one

Crazy. So UNC has played 8 of the 10 best KenPom teams ever, and has played a total of 14 games against the 10 best KenPom teams ever, with 9 of those games against the top 3.
