re: Mulkey is a better coach than Wade, it’s not even close

Explain it to them!
But "there's no evidence" is a poor comparative argument, logically speaking.

Not a poor choice of words at all. The moron TrueTiger is making a definite and absolute argument with zero evidence which is what I pointed out. It’s not comparative, I never said Wade would be a great or better woman’s coach.

You’re the one making an absolute argument that a HOF female head basketball coach could never get it done! Sexist a-hole!

What that guy is basically saying is that Urban Meyer or Nick Saban are better NFL coaches than Bill Parcels because they won more titles in college.

If you can coach, it doesn’t matter what gender you are, what you’re saying would mean Gino’s accomplishments at UConn should be discredited and nullified because he’s a man coaching a woman’s sport. Do I think Mulkey could be successful in the man’s game, you damn right. Basketball strategies and concepts aren’t specific to just men or women, there may be certain plays you can execute in the man’s game because of more physical abilities but basic concepts are the same. So, I totally disagree that the game is totally different from men to women, only in the physical ability department is there a difference.

Not at all what I said in fact using Gino proves the opposite. The game has as many differences as it does similarities and if you knew anything about them you’d know that. It has nothing to do with male or female, I don’t think some winning baseball coach would automatically dominate softball just because they won in baseball. You people can’t see past your own biases and are just projecting.

People who know more than you or me would have offered her huge contracts at top universities if they thought she could have the same type of success in the mens game so why hasn’t that happened?

Are you really saying that being an exceptional coach wouldn't make you even a slightly better official, or vice versa? In any sport or sex? For example, if a high school football coach was also a really good and experienced high school referee, that wouldn't help them be better at their job as a current coach?
Coaching involves foresight, managing personalities and thinking on the run.
Officiating involves watching and enforcing rules.
I will say, most likely a coach could easily be a ref, i dont think the reverse is necessarily true though.

Since you know so much , what’s the differences? Be specific so I’ll know whether you’re full of shite or not. Trying to game plan a team in basketball boils down to gaining advantages offensively and defensively, period, it doesn’t f-ing matter from men to women. You fricking people act like the schematics of basketball is on a level of molecular biology.
Bad analogy with baseball and softball, there are different pitching techniques between the sports first off, along with a few other differences. The last time I looked, 99.9% of men and women use the same shooting technique to score and dribble the same, you still play basketball on the same sized court, same height on the goal from men to women and score and defend within those parameters. It doesn’t matter about 3 point lines, shot clocks or half's or quarters, you still have to play defense and offense and strategize based upon the opponent you’re facing.

That’s true in any sport or competition so are they all the exact same game? If you’re gonna deflect try to think it through next time. Besides you’re wrong anyway, the shooting motions aren’t the same, the balls aren’t the same, the court isn’t the same, the structure of the game isn’t the same. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

You sir, appear to be a real douche, not to mention a dumbass.
Posted on 1/18/22 at 8:04 pm to Madking
The only thing you’re right about, is the balls aren’t the same, the rest is a bunch of bullshite, you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m done with you.
Posted on 1/18/22 at 8:07 pm to des4271
Everything I said is 100% true. You couldn’t answer simple questions so you lashed out, made accusations and still couldn’t make a factual argument. You’re right, you are done.

They are differences in size, speed, height, and the big one is athleticism. While the rules, dimensions of the court etc are exactly the same it's played two totally different ways.
An offense that may be unstoppable in women's basketball, would probably not work in men's basketball. Not very much about the Xs and Os of the two sports is similar. The ability to shoot the three, along with the number of people that can do it changes in the women's game. So your entire defense has to be adjusted.
To think that Mulkey can just switch over and implement what she does in a women's game and it would work in a men's game is beyond stupid. Could she adapt and adjust to the men's game? Maybe so, but we don't know that.
You know who has had really good success in the men's game? A dude named Will Wade.
This entire thread is mind numbingly stupid. Why can't we just be glad that we have both Mulkey and Wade and be done with it? Instead we are in some hypothetical world debating something that will never happen, and weirdly pitting two great LSU coaches against each other.

The best high school basketball team in Louisiana would dominate the best women's college basketball team in the nation. It wouldn't be close.

Any decent high school boys team would have their way with a Mulkey coached LSU women's team. That's just another piece of evidence that shows the two games aren't near the same.
But using some of these idiots logic, we should hire the boys HS coaches that could beat LSU WBB to replace Mulkey.
