I swear to god that players have figured out how to fool officials into allowing two European jump steps before shooting.

UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
I expect to encounter headwinds here, but I'd rather go after Pat Kelsey at Louisville than Sean Miller. It won't happen for several reasons, among them not enough P4 experience and not being shiny enough for the BMDs, but he's a better coach than Miller.

Slow clap. 100%

UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
Nope. McCasland has coached everywhere from JUCO to the international level. He is more proven as a recruiter and is vastly more experienced.

TJO and McCasland are both better than Lloyd, IMO. Based on nothing except what seems reasonably possible and desirable, my guess is TJ is our next coach.

2025 NCAA Tournament General Thread
And Maravich and Thompson didn't play with the three-point line. Their numbers would be insane if the had.

So Are We In?!?!?
True, but they certainly don't seem particularly daunting. And we weren't completely healthy. We're a different team with Mark on the "point" and Pope playing where he excelled at OSU and why we recruited him to the portal. Weaver is an underrated asset for us. Not declaring a win over UK if we meet them, but I wouldn't be dismissive of our chances.

Kenneth Hall has died
My father told me many stories about Kenneth Hall's exploits when I was a little kid. Said he should have been an NFL HOFer had it not been for injuries. He also had stories of the Koy family and the San Antonio battles of Warren McVea and Linus Baer. RIP Mr. Hall.

I was surprised but apparently Drew and TJ joined Brad Stevens in turning the Hoosiers down. I kind of have to wonder what the heck is going on there.

Last I heard he was likely to be the next coach at Indiana.

RT's Revenge - Texas/TENN - 2:30 ESPN 3/14
This conference officiating isn't due to age of the refs. Back in the 80s and 90s, officials in the Big Ten had the rep of "No blood, no foul."

Yeah, this team would be a metric fuckton better with a decent staff.
-
RT's Revenge - Texas/TENN - 2:30 ESPN 3/14
Lots to unpack, but obvious ones are that early in the season they planned to have Mark playing the point and Pope at the position he played at Corvallis. Why did that change? Both look better in this tournament, shouldn't have taken this long. A healthy Weaver would've helped a lot, but none of these things could overcome the ineptitude of the staff.
