The SEC is making an effort to upgrade their basketball coaches. They are serious about basketball money. A&M just hired Buzz Williams away from VA Tech. Auburn has Pearl. Alabama just fired Avery Johnson after 4 years, who has a similar win% as Fran has at Iowa.

It wasn't a matter of hindsight. At the time, it was known. Every poster on the Butler message board said "don't take Brad Stevens".

Not among people in the know. Anyone that knew anything about that Butler staff, knew that Stevenson was the engine. Barta should have known because he's supposed to be one of those people in the know. Or at the very least, he should have known someone that was in the know.

The #1 recruiting class the last 3 years in a row. No ACC regular season titles. No Final Fours to show for it.

Read my post again. NON NBA TALENT was my exact words to describe it. Not what you read. I can quote the entire comment for you, if you need me to. Do you need me to?

Exactly. Therefore, he will NOT be getting one and done players like he always has.

Babe Ruth had no hair when he was a baby. And a color photo...no less.

He's not going to get them after the NBA allows them to jump straight from high school.

As long as we don't end up like the CyClowns. Cheating and sanctioned with nothing to show for it in the trophy case. That would suck. Lol. Big time.

Yes.

It's always a good idea to play to the strength of your roster.

He's not the only one that thinks it's all about offense. Gutless Gary and Boob Bowelsby thought the same thing. No Sweet 16 appearances for 21 years now. I guess I'll let those dummies continue to sleep and everyone else gets to watch teams that play defense, advance in the tournament.

I don't see any NCAA model that pays College Basketball players. There'll be too many lawsuits from student athletes of other sports. Trust me, if there was any way the NCAA could have paid only the Men's basketball players...they would have done it years ago. But they can't.

Coach K is whining because he'll have to come down to Earth and coach with a non-NBA loaded roster....just like everyone else. Heaven forbid his cheating ass not get every advantage to go along with Nike funneling players to him and ESPN running propaganda.

You offered an OPINION that the Iowa basketball program was worse of than Purdue's...when the actual factual records said otherwise. When Fran took over - 4 BIG wins. When Painter took over - 3 BIG wins. You don't seem to grasp the definition of the word FACT.

I'm happy to let him be lost. Sometimes it's best not to wake those types up.

I'm not surprised that you're still lost.

It's not an excuse. It's a fact. If you knew more about it, you'd know more facts. After all, I didn't send invent "Win, graduate, do it the right way". Unless you think I did. There are guys that are stupid enough to believe anything. Are you that guy?

He'd be a better defender or he'd sit on the bench @ Purdue. More likely, Painter wouldn't recruit him.
