i mean all you have to do is . . . look at the team records? maybe the kenpom? and if you're wrong on a bubble team, you can always blame it on some minor conference tournament upset

tbh i just think he pays a great deal of attention to the small shit
ten years ago i went to a duke fantasy camp (courtesy of an extremely loaded friend, because i can in no way afford that) and basically tore my acl the first time i touched the ball, which was embarrassing af
two weeks later he fucking called me to 'see how i was doing'
obviously he built up advantages (and presumably he thought i had more money to spend on him) but that's good recruiting

Iowa came out hot as blazes, torched SC in the first quarter and built a 12 point lead, but since then it's been all SC pounding the boards and outscoring Iowa by about 16. I think that second quarter provides the better clue as to what the second half will look like. South Carolina's rebounding, bench depth and all around athleticism seems unbeatable unless Clark goes nuclear.

― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 7 April 2024 21:16 (eight months ago) link
Iowa made a run at it in the end there but I think they pressed too hard, had some dumb turnovers and Clark was just launching long range and badly contested shots. idk what they were supposed to do but you could tell they were mentally exhausted, kinda why you need a bench

guess its obvious tho i had not considered it since i dont really consider college ball but the ease of transferring these days makes it much easier to build good teams around upperclassmen
The NCAA tournament losses, one Big Dance win since 2019, refusing to embrace the transfer portal and continuing to build freshmen-focused rosters -- it all added up to a frustrated fan base.

― lag∞n, Monday, 8 April 2024 15:04 (eight months ago) link
Frustrated fan-base member here. This is good for everyone involved ... Kentucky, which saves a $33 million buyout ... and even Cal, who lands at a top 10? 15? college basketball job at a school with national championship pedigree/aspirations and at least one booster (Cal's pal the Tyson chicken family) willing to pony up to get there. The past 5 years have been a failure at UK, but I don't think anyone could characterize his full run there as a failure.
One nitpick on lagoon's point: Yes, he has continued to recruit one and dones and he built this year's team around them ... but it's not like he has shunned the transfer portal. The team that lost to St. Peter's two years ago was the oldest team in the country and included transfers from Iowa, Georgia, Davidson, Rhode Island and Creighton ... and they flamed out, too.
It's very clear that roster construction has changed in college hoops and Cal didn't adjust enough. But there are other/bigger issues at play with regard to how they've ended their seasons since 2019.
― alpine static, Monday, 8 April 2024 17:10 (eight months ago) link
US college sports 'boosters' are mostly very horrible people, and in their pursuit of winning teams they've dumped tons of money on some very horrible coaches with Bobby Knight being the poster child. It's hard to have any sympathy at all for the coaches who embrace the system and reap the biggest rewards.

Let's name jobs better than Arkansas, understanding this is of course subjective:

that's 14, but i'm not so sure a coach leaves Arkansas for Indiana.
we're talking history, of course, and resources, nearby recruits, etc. i don't have enough info on NIL programs to consider them.
Zags? Houston? Virginia? Maryland? Ohio State? we're getting into dicey territory.
In addition to the Tyson chicken family, Arkansas has a *ton* of money it can tap into, and it *cares* about being good at basketball.
