This is so spot on but won't be received well because of who is saying it.

I still can't believe Notre Dame didn't go 2 for 1 at the end of the UK game, that's 1 small example of how far behind the times college hoops are you rarely see the 2 for 1.

In some cases I agree, but it sure does seem that college basketball (basketball in general) gets a ton of over the top hate compared to any other sport...

The talent pool is so diluted. MCBB is absolutely nothing like it was in the 1990s, for instance.

A LOT of NBA scouts/coaches/GMs would agree. CBB is probably the worst it's ever been, right now.

Product of the AAU world.

He's not wrong, but the women's game is far worse to watch. On top of certain rule changes regarding the shot clock, HS eligibility in the draft, etc., the college game needs a bit of a makeover in the officiating department. Too many times do referees kill the flow of a game with needless whistles.

Dude is coaching women's fricking basketball. That is the only sport that is a joke. Not men's basketball. Dude's probably mad he wouldn't be nearly as successful with the men than he is with the women. What a fricking moron.

Serious shite: one day I was fishing, and my buddy's GF went to cast and on her back swing, she hooked me in the side of the neck, then proceeded with her casting motion and left me with a 4 1/2 in slice in my neck that required 27 stitches after a 45 minute boat ride and hour and a half car ride




Still wasn't as painful as watching womens' basketball

I know he he said it but I can't take what he says seriously considering he coaches the fraudulent sham that's called Wonen's colleg basketball.

The women's game has been more fundamentally sound than men for 20+ years.

Geno should put his money where his mouth is and step on up to the men's side....

that being said, the problem with Men's CBB is that their best players are in the NBA.... that leaves a lot of roster spots for Cantshootforshit McGee and Brickcity Watson.... there's a lot of "leftover" scholarships wasted on guys that shouldn't be on a college team in the first place...

And his arse only wins championship because WCBB is the most watered down sport in existence. The talent gap is absolutely laughable.
