I can dig that. Still think the man deserves a shot to see if the next outlier can be a natty. If the peak keeps getting higher over time, I can stay tuned.
Agree. If you know it is a bonafide upgrade and there unfortunately are not too many of them. If the perfect situation presents itself then yes, you make the move. I just dont see that happening. In that case, moving forward with Brad is the better option. Last year all on this board were...
Example to help. If he went from first round exit. Then two second round exits. Then a first round loss but then his first Elite Eight that would resemble an upward trend. Even a first round loss this year and then A final four next year would still be an upward trend. Again, almost all...
Why compare him to the best coach of the last 15 years in college bball. Ridiculous to think Brad couldn’t get to a final four. Just went to an elite eight last year. You see that as peaked but all of his coaching history suggests he is still on an upward trend. There are always some lows on...
18-22 (may be off one either way) against the top 15 since at Illinois. Thst includes the last three games being losses against top 15. Also the first two teams he had, we would all agree, were sub-par.
Do you consider that good or bad?
I would not look at one game or one year. The man’s entire career shows the he can adapt and improve. He has already done it here multiple times all while the entire landscape of college basketball changed.
Personally think firing Brad would be a trigger decision. Think he has to be retained...
Hate to say this but “would he have” doesn’t matter. Groce recruited like crap and we were constant bridesmaids. BU recruits well with consistent results. Whether we all want to believe that is because of the assistants, it doesn’t matter. Leader gets the brunt when bad but they also get the...
Nico was impressive. Once he gained confidence he was playing fantastic basketball. Hopefully the injury is minor and he continues to improve. Don’t know if he can shoot, but if so, he takes this team to a different level.
