JC breaking down Cuse win on Mike & Mike

[mauconnfan]

So Tyler Olander is a greater Husky than Kemba?

2>1

Judging just by championships is as weak as including Helms Trophies.

Keith Smart shot rolls out or Brimahs rebounds slips through his fingers or Tate George holds onto the ball?

Its a game of inches.

If Ollie gets to 4 more FF's, wins 800+ games - i'm happy.

I'm not sure anyone said they wouldn't be happy with JB's results, why wouldn't you be. The topic is "elite' coach or not. You can throw "ifs" on everyone's resume including K and many others but winning team takes strategy and a great mind. I can't put him in with K, Wooden, JC, Knight, Izzo etc etc......can't do it.

 

[SubbaBub]

He's great and overrated at the same time. He shouldn't be in the FF because they should have been banned this season.

They had an easy ride to the Elite 8, but beat a very good Virginia team.

If they somehow pull this off, they will have exactly half as many titles as us and tie Olander. All worthy accomplishments.

That should cover it. Let's move on.

[Marty Jackson]

I have a rule of thumb to evaluate if a coach is elite.

If the coach has more wins than Jim Calhoun, he is , without question, elite.

Done.

with the vacated wins, isn't Boeheim far behind Calhoun now?

about the 30 min mark

Sour grapes about the UConn womem's dominance before that. K debate later. the nose booger after 55.

 

[Scottzer]

Eh, I could see how Boeheim could have had another championship or maybe two, but, apart from maybe Sherman Douglas/Ron Seiks and DC and BO, I don't look at any non title teams of his and think they should have gone further. I have to respect Borheim as a coach, and it can't be easy to recruit people to play in an area that often gets more snow than the rest of the lower 48.

It's also a game of averages. If Donyell hits a Free. If Dyson does not get hurt. If D. Brown finds the net. We have more close scrapes to glory than them, and, oddly, we could have hung another 2 or 3 banners if everything broke perfectly. They/he can't say that.

 

[Adios]

Olander's rap > Boeheim's rap.

Why does the word 'elite' trigger a Boneyard debate on the subjective value of an athlete, coach, team or program?
A. ESPN conditioned us to react this way
B. Sports radio conditioned us that these topics are important and our opinion is the ultimate arbiter
C. We UConn fans are elite sheep more capable then the mere lambs that follow other programs to render definitive answers

This is why you are an elite poster

Nobody is as l33t as Fishy. C'mon.

 

[TasteofUConn]

This is why [Mau is] an elite poster

I'm not sure I can agree. While 18,000 posts and 14,000 likes are very impressive, is this more a reflection of volume posting combined with longevity, or elite content delivered opportunely? And can one really be an "elite" poster without having TCF-type media skills or Fishy-esque rapier wit?

Totally agree, like a volume shooter. I average 24 points a game on 34.5% shooting but I throw mine up there for sure Taste, many don't hit iron LOL

Why does blue blood among KU fans?

 

[djct1999]

It certainly felt like Syracuse was even with Virginia even when they were 15 behind. I mean, Perrantes was hitting from way out while Syracuse was missing open 3s, so it really did look like Cuse was dominating play even when they were way behind.

If I'm Malachi Richardson, I don't think I come back for Soph. season.

Agree with Richardson. If he has any doubts he should ask melo Trimble. If you are in the top 20 discussion, more times than not going back to school hurts more than it helps. Contrary with what most want you to believe.
