Kind of hoping that Miller or Hobbs gets the CSCU job.
It isn't a shot but a statement. I disagree that any of this is on the players. They are what they are. The coach chooses the players. If they aren't UConn players, he shouldn't have chosen them. I get the sanctions excuse, to a point. But if the remaining 5 star guys are cancers, pick the 4 star guys that will turn into the Shonn Millers of the world. It doesn't look like his 4 star picks are acting like UConn players either. There are always mid major teams that become great teams with 4 star kids that overachieve. If we lack overachievers, whose fault is that?
And, really, having to recruit overachieving 4 star players should only have been the case for a year or two. Ollie should have been able to snag the 5 star kids that were both talented and high character in the last few classes, starting with Hamilton's class. If anyone has a problem with how Hamilton is playing, they should be asking why he picked him instead of a harder working 5 star. EVERYTHING is on the coach...always.
Cool, huh?The shot was exhilarating, but blowing a 19 point second half lead as a one seed in the sweet 16 was not. That was an epic meltdown saved by a one in a million miracle.

Spearheaded by a collection of guys that can neither dribble, nor drive. How is that not on the coach?I don't necessarily disagree with you, but does Temple or Houston or Tulsa or Cincy have any elite players? IMO Miller is as good as anyone in the conference. Unfortunately our offense should have been focused around him from day 1, instead it has been focused on the dribble drive.
In the AAC's defense, CUSA has been like MAAC-level since Marquette, Louisville, and Cincinnati left.Like everyone on this board, I hated when we joined the AAC. However, the one saving grace was that I figured we dominate the conference like Memphis used to in CUSA and get an automatic bid the the NCAA tourney every year and then make wave since we got there to keep the program on top. Not exactly working out as I'd hoped.
You constantly make up stuff around here. Hobbs had a very nice few year stretch at GW but they never finished in the top 5.Not sure about how Calhoun felt about Miller, but Hobbs was obviously Calhoun's right hand man, and he was the guy bringing the point guards along, and as head coach of an A-10 team, he brought them to their only top 5 finish (AP national ranking at the end of the year). So his replacement will have to be better than all that.

Wrong again, they finished the season ranked 14th.I was off by one single space: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings/_/year/2006/poll/2/week/17/seasontype/2
Ranked 6th
This was the pre-tournament poll
This is quite possibly the worst post in the history of the Internet. Two elite 8 and 2 sweet 16 in 4 years is not in the same stratosphere of winning one national title. See UConn pre 1999 and everyone saying Calhoun can't win the big one.Part of this is how you measure success. In my mind, one NC and three trips to the NIT is worse, much worse, than Two elite 8's and two sweet 16's over a 4 year period. Others may feel differently of course. Having an NCAA tournament with no UConn is just wrong, and there is really no excuse for it, except perhaps after that rare season when we graduate or lose 4-5 guys.

The AAC is significantly better than CUSA was after Cincy, Marquette, and Louisville left. It isn't even close.In the AAC's defense, CUSA has been like MAAC-level since Marquette, Louisville, and Cincinnati left.
http://m.gwsports.com/m/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/hobbs_karl00.html Right from their own website, George Washington started the season out ranked #21 in the AP poll, they hit #6 twice during the season in the AP poll and finished the season ranked #14 in the AP poll. I could care less what GW's ranking was that season but I'm sick of you making up stuff around here and never admitting when you're wrong, it's not a good look.The link is right there for you. Click it.

Seriously, what's the matter with you? This isn't debatable it's a fact, GW finished #14 in the AP poll. You double and triple down on lies, never seen anything like it. You bringing the McHale thread back up is hysterical, the entire board was laughing at you. You're pathological on here, I hope for your sake this is just your message board persona and you aren't like this in day to day life. When someone gives you concrete proof you are wrong it's okay to admit you're wrong, if you don't it makes you look like a crazy person.The last week we went through your BS I gave you the link I got it from (McHale MVP voting) and you never responded, so save your nonsense.
The time before that, it was the point about the Patriots offensive line, and then again, I more nonsense from you. You just continue to do it.
Your link is Week 17 of the coaches' poll. Week 18 (last before the NCAAs) has them 11, and the end of year they were 19.The link is right there for you. Click it.
KO is an avid golfer. During the hoops season he enjoys honing his golf skills. You see him in Simsbury during the basketball season. Meets up with Ken. Golf provides him with a release/escape from the daily grind of a long grueling season. Also to be great at golf it takes hard work and practice. Golf is a very tough game. I am bad....like really bad.![]()
Either way, Hobbs had a mid major squad in the top 25. He can coach. Went to 3 straight NCAA tourneys.Your link is Week 17 of the coaches' poll. Week 18 (last before the NCAAs) has them 11, and the end of year they were 19.
In the AP they were 7, and then the last pre-tournament poll they were 14. I'm confused as to why this is an issue.
