re: Matt Trent on WW

So you’re just ignoring that Wade won the SEC and his team got to the sweet 16 in year 2? I guess that’s on brand for you since you pick and choose your facts while ignoring others depending on how they fit into your narrative. I won’t even get into the goal post moving because it’s obvious double standards and deflections are just your bread and butter.

Definite overreaction to call for replacing Wade after the current skid. A lot that's just backlash against the degree to which he's been deified with just as little actual substance.


Wade's main coaching strength has been to try to out recruit and out-athlete you to turn games into a bit of a helter-skelter physical war where the better athletes and offensive playmakers used to that style make more winning plays

He hasn't shown as much inclination for anything aside from that "controlled chaos" approach as far as demanding better defensive fundamentals, reigning poor offensive decision making into a better team concept etc etc etc . . .

Maybe that's enough to keep winning in a SEC that's already stronger than it was when he arrived and getting deeper as well as make some deep tourney runs in the future.

However, skids like this do throw into relief the persistent criticism that there may not be much to fall back on when he doesn't have offensive talents that will simply make more individual plays coupled with rebounders that chase down their bad shots on the offensive glass and defenders that will out physical the other team into turnovers.

So unless he wins 16 conference games every year he’s regressing? Again apply your standards to everyone, don’t just pick and choose them to forward a narrative.

I mean, this is a basketball thread. But since you asked

Baseball should IMHO average out to host a regional and go to super every year. Omaha roughly every other year or maybe slightly more. Win a natty or make the championship series every 3-4 years.

Football is tough to say. At an absolute minimum we should win at least 9-10 regular season games every season. Playoff run every 4 or so years. Win a natty or two every 10 years.

This is all just off the cuff, but it’s the best I could answer at this point I guess, with such a vague concept as an individual’s standards for a program

It’s selective data like I said. We’ve gone from 7 conference wins a year the decade prior to Wade to over 10 per year since he arrived including the highest peak and highest floor records of any other coach during that time. That’s data, leaving out pieces of information just because it goes against your narrative isn’t data, it’s manipulated and dishonest garbage. Like I’ve asked multiple times, apply your standards to everyone, but you won’t do that because you’re incapable of being objective.

Bruh, relax. Jan. 14th projections were.
Auburn
Baylor
LSU
Duke

LSU is not a championship, they never were. Big win over UK early on but that was before they got rolling and illegal screened their PG knocking him out of the game.

Kentucky lost to us without their starting PG. The ignorance on this site is amazing when it comes to bball.

llegal screened their PG knocking him out of the game.

Know how i know you're stupid??

Trust me, the way our games are called, if the screen was even close to being "illegal" it would been called.

Notice since that screen, officials have called multiple moving screens on Reid. Some are legit, others have been extremely questionable.

ETA. My assumption is Cal complained and sent that call to the league office and the consequence is that officials are now looking for that on Reid.
