lol ā¦ 27-9 and 27-9 and a combined 4-2 in the madness over 2 years seems like winning most games ā¦ different strokes for different folks I guess?
I would love a 27-9 record and Round of 32 year next year.
Also I canāt wait til the stupid covid year expires finally next year ā¦ that alone is probably worth 3 additional wins for the Hoos next year.
Thanks
Everyone wants to win in March, dude.
No one wants their team to underperform given the level of talent they have.
A team can experience both at once.
Put another way: If Tony had Dukeās level of talent and tourney results since 2017, Iād be mighty frustrated.

Imagine the handwringing if we had Zion, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, and Tre Jones all on one team only to lose in the elite 8. People would be talking constantly about how much Bennett fucked that opportunity up.

Going to that elite 8 game in person to watch Duke lose the day after we beat Purdue was one of the greatest pleasures of my short, insignificant life.

Imagine the handwringing among Hoo fans if the Hoos were 4-2 the last 2 years in the madnessā¦. 
Sure coaching matters but give me the Jimmies and Joes any day and Iāll take
My chances - especially over multiple seasons.
What would you prefer to make a madness run?
- 2019 Hoos with a different coach than Tony
- Any of 2021-2025 Hoo teams with Tony

Guys, can we just start a new thread about this discussion and try to keep this one on actual coaching speculation? Hell, I wouldnāt be opposed to Dave just having his own thread. I wouldnāt read it, but at least heād have an outlet for his TB slander.

Apparently Denzel Valentineās bro (Loyola Chi) getting buzz for Mich St, per 3MW. Theyāre undefeated
That makes sense. Izzo was also on retirement watch last year (not yet this year I dont think)

GMs are lawyers. Until there are contracts, Iām not sure a GM makes sense the way fans think it does.

From what I rememberā¦ no one had posted on it for over 3-months. So I closed it when I was doing a bulk close.
EDIT: Just looked at itā¦ nothing for 2-months.
