Message: [QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 2098096, member: 6751"] Wow, this really brought back some memories. I haven't heard anything like this in years, but there used to be a lot of high-profile coaches (including Geno, according to a couple old articles I just dug up) who put some stock in the theory that the committee was purposely grouping male coaches together so they'd knock each other off before the Final Four. Not saying I buy into it myself, but this was a hot topic back 15-20 years ago. Just in case anyone's really interested in drudging all this up again, here you go. (Some of these pieces deal with multiple topics; run a search for "male coaches" to get to the relevant parts.)
