Yeah absolutely no punch. At worst he clenched his fist in a moment of frustration and thought better of it.

Wouldn't that be something? Honestly, kind of boring, though.
Maybe for the rest of the country. Would be peak cinema for me.

Everything looks awkward in slow-mo, honestly.

Eh. Part of the fun of the Big Dance is going up against teams you mostly don't otherwise get to see your team play. An all-B1G Final Four would be a fun way to poke a stick in the eye of the SEC and others, but would be less entertaining television (and lower TV ratings overall).
He did the same thing on a 1/2 dozen plays.
Izzo is trying to coax him into the portal. He has big plans for him.
I have. And?
Expressing criticism is not dismissing.
Curious what everyone thinks here
So far in March madness, I think there’s been 3 very poorly officiated games: North Carolina-VCU, Duke-TCU, St John’s-Kansas.
The price underwood has had to pay for that Loyola game an empty Covid arena is an absurd tax.

I don’t disagree…it is an impressive list though. Where would you put him?
Strong field for sure. I don't know if I would put Dusty May in the top 5. Yes he has had a couple of good years, but over all of the other coaches that have had many good/great years? I don't think so. I would put Dust just outside the top 10.
It’s a fun question. I understand there is nuance behind resources and stuff like that too.
Personally, I’d have him ahead of Fred and Miller for sure. And I wouldn’t fight anyone too much in whatever order of Lloyd, Underwood, Oats, and Calipari. Although gun to head - Lloyd, Oats, Underwood, and Cal in that order
Wouldn’t argue with much of it though I’d be a homer and move Miller and Hoiberg behind Brad. McCollum is an amazing coach but like someone else said, it’s a strong field.
My biggest gripe is maybe 2-4, would move Sampson from 2nd to 4th. Pitino has more wins and 7 F4s and 2 NCs, Izzo has 8 F4s and a NC, Sampson has only 3 F4s and no NCs.

Brad should be at least 5 spots higher. Right around the Top 10.
It is difficult comparison as how do you compare Scheyer to Hoiberg, when Hoiberg has a fraction of the resources. If Scheyer had started at Nebraska instead of Duke, would he have accomplished what Hoiberg has? Conversely, if you give Hoiberg the roster Scheyer has...? Does Pitino have the record he does without all the bag men / hookers/ ??? supporting him in his career? Cal, same question - would he have won as much had he run a clean program?
It is also a big question of whether you are evaluating them on the coach they are today or their career. Izzo has a great career - but he hasn't been what he used to be. Dusty May has had two good teams, counting this years team. Paint had suffered a rash of terrible tourney losses before Edey's last year.
This is an exercise with more questions than answers
If we win, by far the most interesting games are Nebraska / Iowa
and St John’s / Duke.
and St John’s / Duke.
