So, how's it going at the old ZZL?

I wonder if the idiots on the basketball board are still fluffing Dan Hurley as the most amazing coach of our generation . . .

There are actually a couple of threads about him.

They are on both sides of the debate.

The fire HD treads are popping up again.

Yep. The ruination.

I don’t think college sports have been ruined. It’s certainly different especially for us long timers but there is still entertainment there.

Everything good/marketable gets bastardized by the all mighty dollar eventually.

They always go after the shiny new object. To be fair, by winning back-to-back national championships, Hurley’s shine was the brightest of all, but they let two seasons define him rather than his entire now 15-year D1 coaching career.

What people don't really understand is that this is a very strange era in college basketball that is coming to an end. The extra year of eligibility plus the transfer portal meant that there was a huge influx of veteran talent just flowing into the programs that, for whatever reason, were able to exploit that.

UConn last year started two 5th year transfers who were among the team's best players. I suspect that's a first. That isn't going to happen any more. Let's see what Hurley can do when his teams don't massively outclass everyone with talent AND experience.
 
Given our ongoing coaching search I thought I'd peruse the free Tar Pit board over at IC just to see what they had to say - I hadn't been on that board in a good while. And on the coaching search thread they had a debate/insult fest between posters going on over "woke history". I thought all political discussions were banned on IC, but apparently not. I checked further and saw a surprising amount of politically-related posts scattered around the sports boards and ZZL. I knew they'd never completely get rid of politics there, lol.

Why is it surprising? Eliminating the ZZL-P (and all political discussion to focus on sports) was just a ruse to get a bunch of liberals off the boards. They don’t mind politics, they just want the political discussion to be more in tune with the right wing news bubble.
