No. Two, divided by zero, is infinite. Imagine if GMac had 0.1 years of head coaching experience. Then it would be 20 times as much. If it was 0.01 years, it would be 200 times as much. As that number trends towards zero, the ratio goes to infinity.

A) You’re wrong. If 2 divided by zero was infinity, then zero multiplied by infinity would have to be 2.

B) This is a really meaningless conversation that doesn’t impact my initial point you responded to at all. In your world, a coach with 1 day of head coaching experience has “infinitely more” head coaching experience than someone with zero and thus is far more qualified?

There's some really great players who play in the Chicago suburbs and fall through the cracks/don't get recognized out of high school like they should.

He's awesome.

That should be DePaul's bread n butter

Are you knuckleheads going to force me to invoke calculus on a UConn basketball message board?

The limit of 2 divided by X, as X approaches zero, is infinity.

Anything divided by zero is undefined.

Those are not the same thing.

Even this is not true. 2/-1=-2. 2/-.5=-4. 2/-.1=-20.


You can extract limits at infinity or -infinity (or anything, really), but you have to specify exactly how X is approaching zero. It is exactly the fact that you reach different limits by approaching along different paths which makes the outcome undefined.

You're not the only one. But he was funnier when Cronin was at Cincy and at least competitive.

I get the sense we won't be seeing him for a while. It's hard to puff your chest out as well as disparage UConn when the 2 programs are in polar opposite directions right now.
