Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 3089921, member: 8240"] What's even more shocking is Vic Schaefer isn't on the same side of the bracket for the national semi-final (as I understand the brackets). Putting him, Geno and Walz on the same side would have assured gender equality for the championship game. Before all the PC police get on me, here's a reminder about past tournaments and what appeared to be some level of manipulation of brackets. There was one year, in the early 2000's if I recall correctly, when the brackets had Geno, Andy Landers and Jim Foster (all with good teams) in one region, thus assuring only one would get to the Final Four. Geno, in his usual shy and engaging manner commented on it at the time. Then there's women's volleyball where only male coaches have won the national championships and there was an undercurrent of unrest for a couple decades. Volleyball Magazine even did a feature on "the elephant in the room". Eventually the high level of angst subsided and the schools concentrated on winning regardless of who the coaches were. [/QUOTE]
