Jim Nantz is a P*tz

[willie99]

Baylor legit could not play non-conference games when Drew got there because of NCAA sanctions from Bliss but guys like @willie99 think Juwan Howard has done a better building job for taking over a Sweet 16 team and getting them to the Elite 8.

I feel like I am taking crazy pill with some of these posts

You should walk a mile in my shoes. I make a totally defensible statement about Scott Drew NOT doing the greatest build / rebuild in college basketball history, not even close, as I name scores of other candidates.....

And some people says it's all about Jim Calhoun, and / or they attack what they perceive to be the weakest candidate on an extensive list

Imagine that, simply crazy I tell you, crazy

OK, Baylor was on probation 18 years ago, that just doesn't change a thing. I'll concede this, Scott Drew stepped into a difficult situation, I'll give him credit for that. And his Baylor team is very good

To be fair, Calhoun “built” UConn BBall, he didn’t “re-build” UConn BBall.

He built The University of Connecticut aka UConn. Thanks

A commercial in heavy rotation has Samuel L. Jackson saying "Nantz for the win". I imagine that and a new contract has ol' Jim is feeling pretty good these days.

I've made the same argument in the past. He didn't just build the basketball program, he enabled all the programs under him to benefit from all the revenues he brought in. Furthermore, his basketball success made UConn the shining light for the entire state, paving the path for politicians to spend billions of dollars yo upgrade the university. He even built the Rent, although I'm not sure that was such a good thing anymore.

Jim Calhoun made the University of Connecticut the institution it is today. I love Geno, even he rode the coattails in terms of financial benefits

You just vomited up a list of coaches with no ryhme or reason. I mean who will ever forget Bill Self and his tremendous of taking that floundering Kansas program coming off a loss in the national championship and rising them from the ashes.

Either way, respect to the Baylor coach. Not many coaches could have done what he did.

Some of you guys I would worry about, if a women ever rejected you or told you your breath stinks.

Im not passing judgement until I hear what Billy Packer thinks.

Waiting for Howard Cosell.

Baylor had to be built. Not rebuilt.

With a house at Pebble Beach, why would he live in Westport?

I think they mentioned during the 2020 US Open at Winged Foot that Nantz is a member there.

 

[HeGotGame]

Actually, not outside Connecticut. Nantz lives in Westport.

Two second google search tells you he moved form Westport to New Cannan to Pebble Beach. He has not lived in CT for at least four years.

That’s Dan Hicks, NBC had the Open. Hicks used to be at my Club back when it was worth checking out Hannah Storm at the pool.

I was referencing Nantz being a member at Winged Foot, not Nantz working as a commentator for the US Open.

If Jim Nantz had any balls he’d be boycotting the masters. So yeah he’s a putz.

Are we really crapping on Westport? Is it that bad? lol. It's only near the top of every "best places to live" list. It's a beautiful town with a nice beach, amazing schools, and an artsy feel that gives it less of a snobby vibe than most of FFC. And the obligatory "it's close to NYC" thing.

I say this as someone who's been to Pebble Beach/Carmel-By-The-Sea/Monterey. It is beautiful out there, don't get me wrong, but I don't consider it significantly better than Westport. So many people famous people have chosen to live in Westport over the years with good reason.

I do not think there was one post in here of anyone bashing Westport.
