Memphis v. Wichita St.

[sdhusky]

And the only reason Cal doesn't have 3 from the last 4 years is because of UConn. Does that make him a good coach?

Yes.

Getting to multiple FF and winning a championship does make him a good coach.

They would not have beat Zona in 2011. I'm not sure they even beat Florida or MSU last year either.

You said SM does less with more; I'm saying he ran into a buzz saw and that's all there was too it. They were playing phenomenally and were one (un)lucky shot away from beating UCONN. That's not less with more.

Comparing anyone (other than K) to JC is being patently unfair to that individual. You are talking about arguably a top 5 coach of all time.

Pure speculation...that's not much of an argument.

I'm just saying, considering the amount of coaches that get to or even close to to Final Four with considerably less talent, SM hasn't taken his talent that far relative to the amount of talent he has had.

I'm not the one who brought up JC; that was pj

He has lost once to a team seeded lower than his, last year when he was the 1 seed lost to the 2 seed. 3 EEs in 9 years.

I believe he has had 7 players drafted in his entire coaching career. 3 in the first round. The 2006 Uconn team had 5 drafted, 4 in the first round, and did not make a FF.

But yea, the guy is just wasting all those NBA filed rosters he has by only going to the EE in 33% of the years he has coached. (In case you missed it I am being sarcastic)

I can attest to this. Right after the game ended, ESPN had him with nothing but 2 TOs.

Vindication from The Dove! Thank you for proving that I am not going crazy

You just posited that UK would have won 3 or the last 4. So I responded in kind.

That's not The @Dove, but you are vindicated nonetheless.

Kurgan Iverson had concussion systems so he didn't make the trip. He might get run at PG. He looks to have better handles than our backcourt and played well in Canada. Tigernation is waiting on the debut on Kuran.
