He sucked as a coach. Dude invented the game but is the only coach in Kansas history with a losing record. Couldn’t even coach a the game he invented.Any chance we could exhume James Naismith?

At least we have the Hornets.Any UNC Football fan who isn’t also a Panthers fan, you’re really missing out on the backend of a potent one-two punch.
I don't get it. What is SO bad about that? I mean, obviously the poster is whining and it's weak, but EASILY the most humiliating thing ever? I must be missing something again.I legitimately may have an aneurysm laughing so hard at this post. This is easily – EASILY- the single most humiliating thing I’ve ever seen written on any sports message board ever.
Saying that the other coach was being mean because he called a double pass on the first play of the game? Or blitzed a lot?I don't get it. What is SO bad about that? I mean, obviously the poster is whining and it's weak, but EASILY the most humiliating thing ever? I must be missing something again.
i guess mileage may vary. I agree it's ridiculous. It's humiliating for that poster. But I can't see how it rises to how it was originally described. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I guess we have different takes on what constitutes humiliating.Saying that the other coach was being mean because he called a double pass on the first play of the game? Or blitzed a lot?
That is humiliating that any “fan” would think that, much less say it. Which is why I think it may be a troll post.
That poster may be the angriest, most unhinged MAGA tater I've ever seen on the old ZZL. Just totally looney tunes. I'm not surprised to see his MAGA victimhood complex carry over to sports as well.
The notion that calling a trick play on the first play of a football game to score a touchdown, or the notion that a defensive coordinator calling blitzes is unsportsmanlike, is absolute insanity as far as sports message board post go, in my opinion. It is almost a guarantee that that guy has never played competitive organized sports, because nobody with a fraction of an ounce of competitive spirit in them would say something so outlandishly whiny. In my opinion, of course!I don't get it. What is SO bad about that? I mean, obviously the poster is whining and it's weak, but EASILY the most humiliating thing ever?

Yeah but I’m sure you didn’t think it was *unsportsmanlike* of them, though.I was surprised Clemson ran a few trick plays. They clearly didn't need to, and could have saved them for when they might need them.
Definitely not unsportsmanlike. Surely that post was a joke. Surely no one actually thought it was unsportsmanlike.Yeah but I’m sure you didn’t think it was *unsportsmanlike* of them, though.
And the reason why Clemson ran that trick play to start wasn’t because they felt that they needed to do so to be able to beat us. It was to send a clear message about what Dabo thinks of all of the BS and hubris about the NFL’s 33rd team and Belichick being the such a bigly football genius and all other college coaches being dumb rubes by comparison. They had that particular play call locked and loaded in the chamber for that particular situation in that particular game against that particular coaching staff for that particular reason I described above. Put it this way, that play doesn’t get called if Mack Brown is on the UNC sideline.
after duke dog-walked us last year, HD got his team tightened up, made some tweaks, and in two more games against duke, at least looked like they belonged on the same floor as what was statistically maybe the most dominant CBB team ever to not win a title. belichick has gotten dog-walked all three games he's played against teams with a pulse and shown either no inclination or no ability (or both) to fix anything.Maybe it's because I care more about basketball than football, but seeing Duke make UNC look like a high school team last year in basketball, in year four of HD, was far more disheartening than the shit-show yesterday. Especially after the disaster of year two, and scrapping to get into the tournament two of the other three years. Couple that with him all but refusing to modernize their approach to the game (using analysts, being forced into working with a GM, and so on), seemingly not knowing how to put his players in position to enhance their abilities, defenses, etc., I have very little faith in that staff.
Caring and wanting to win are two things, being able to do what is needed to win is far more important.
Belichick won’t see it and if he does, he won’t care.
Not sure I'd say they looked like they belonged on the same floor. The second game they were outscored by 20 points in the last 15 minutes. The third game they were down 20 with 15 minutes to go - and Duke was without Flagg.after duke dog-walked us last year, HD got his team tightened up, made some tweaks, and in two more games against duke, at least looked like they belonged on the same floor as what was statistically maybe the most dominant CBB team ever to not win a title. belichick has gotten dog-walked all three games he's played against teams with a pulse and shown either no inclination or no ability (or both) to fix anything.
now, HD has not been very good at self-scouting, so he didn't actually fix the underlying problems with the team and his management of it, so the season ended up disappointing. but he knew enough and cared enough to make some difference and get better after that embarrassment.
