Oates is on a roll - hottest coach in the country outside of Hurley.

If only we just had the gauntlet of having to face the grand total of 1 kenpom top 50 team...instead of arguably the best team this century and another worthy 1 seed...šŸ™„

But Oats is great...for sure...

Yeah itā€™s weird. Thereā€™s always a contingent of fans who expect perfection from the head coach. But thereā€™s no such thing as a perfect coach. Many consider Coach K the goat, but heā€™s had terrible games and even terrible seasons (not even making the tournament with teams full of 5 star recruits.)

Bradā€™s had some bad games (Loyola 3 years ago). But overall he's an excellent coach.

Some people, including an insider, were pining for Sean Miller prior to the Elite 8 run. This board went off the rails after losing to Arkansas in the tournament two years ago, then again after losing RayJ.

The NCAA tournament was defining Brad, which to me was ridiculous, but that's the weight it carries. Glad that's done(hopefully).
