Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3796228, member: 5798"] Jonathan, I agree! It IS embarrassing. Kim is not concerned about the appearance of her OCC schedule. Remember one thing, we're looking at it from a fan's perspective. She's looking at it from a coach's perspective. She schedules 9-10 cupcakes (usually all home games), and 1-2 top 25 teams for the selection committee's pleasure and consideration during seeding selection for the tournament. This gives her team a string of "guaranteed" wins to begin the season, and the opportunity to play games against other teams, although not at their skill or talent level. Playing weak teams allows her to give her freshmen lots of playing time in the 2nd half of those blow outs. Playing time they won't necessarily get during the season. This has not hampered her ability to get a 1 or 2 seed in the dance. She figures she can win it all from a 1 or 2 seed. Until it does, I don't look for her to change something that has been working for her. When was the last time Baylor was ranked outside of the top 25? Mulkey must be doing something right. She also does not have a problem recruiting the top talent in the state either. We can throw all the rocks at her we want to. She's got shatter proof windows. I'm NOT defending her methods, just acknowledging that it works for her and her program. [/QUOTE]
