The team said the dismissal was due to āconduct unbecoming of a Monarch,ā and added it would have no further comment at this time.
I hate to perpetuate rumors, but I heard he failed to disinherit the first Duke of Westphalia, as is required under Salic law. Canāt let a Monarch get away with that.
Having followed Travis Perryās recruitment, I still chuckle when I see kids with their ā1,000 points scoredā achievements (Which is an incredible feat by the way)
ESPN actually showed something interesting during halftime of the Kansas game. The non-conference strength of schedule for almost all of the Big 12 teams is embarrassingly weak. The conference basically gamed the system by blowing out terrible teams to inflate their metrics. That was new to me but you basketball obsessed lunatics on here probably have known about this since Thanksgiving.
I knew some of the newbies were playing weak noncons. BYU and Houston. I didnāt realize how bad Iowa Stateās noncon was. Kansas and Baylor played good teams.
I looked up the old RPI rankings out of curiosityā¦the Big 12 has 3 teams in the top 30 there vs 8 in the NET. RPI doesnāt take into account scoring margin. Not advocating for it or anything, itās even worse overall. Too much weight on strength of schedule, you drop just for playing a bad team. But there needs to be adjustment to the NET to devalue scoring margin. Itās basically just a different flavor of Kenpom.
WAB: Wins-Above-Bubble. The amount of wins you have minus the amount of wins an average bubble team would expect vs. your schedule
The article also has a succinct explanation of how ābestā and ābest resumeā get conflated a bunch in the discussions:
The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee has something of a dual mandate. They are tasked with selecting the best 36 at-large teams in the country, and seeding the 68 qualifiers. They are also asked to select basis on the best resumes, or ābodies of work.ā If we are going by wins and losses, these are two separate things.
