Yeah this calling for Millers job is bullshit, show me a coach at his age who is available and willing to come to the desert who you think would be better. Pony up or STFU... Three games its an anomaly for this program...you can't even say that about 90% of the rest of the country. Bobby Hurley. I ...

I don't think there is a player of the Sean Miller era I like to see succeed more than Kyle Fogg. Maybe even more than TJ

I kinda like how the media complained about the numbers being hard to read so they respond with the worlds biggest numbers.

I'll reserve judgement for now until i see them in play but im pretty sure theyre better than the old ones

I know very little about the new President Robbins but the first two statements I have read from him as President have been calling for collaboration over competition with other institutions and this. I think I can safely say the University is in better hands than it was under the previous administr...

baconus66

Not saying he is going to go, but if they try to get him (and why wouldn't they) it will be the best job offer Miller has gotten since our offer

baconus66

Oh fuck he is done now, not next year.

Im officially scared

baconus66

Trier could have so easily come away from this season not wanting to have anything more to do with the NCAA and college. Can't have anything but respect for him. As much as it seems staying is the smart choice, im sure there were a lot of people telling him to go.

If I was Kobi, I'd have shied away from a press conference. It's not like he can talk about his awesome potential draft position or what a key player he was down the stretch. What I always wonder about is how much transparency there was. Like, did Kobi basically tell CSM from day one, "I'm here for...

If Romar's still around at that point and Miller does leave, we have another qualified candidate. I love many things about Lorenzo Romar, but I couldn't disagree with you more on the final part of your statement here. Qualified to be the head coach of the University of Arizona basketball team he is...

baconus66

If he already left, then why not have it before he left? If he didn't want it then that's fine. I just saw a lot on twitter from the local media guys that were implying the lack of a press conference was used as a slight.

baconus66

Is it just me or is it kinda petty to not give Kobi a press conference? Everybody knew the deal when he came and it doesn't look great to be salty about it. I's like when you have a verbally agreed upon open relaitonship and you get mad when she sleeps with someone. If you don't like it you shouldn'...

baconus66

I still can't get over how weird this whole thing is.

baconus66

It looks like he was making 1.7 mil at UW. The most I could find an assistant getting in NCAA was someone at UK at 700k. If we hire Romar he has to be the highest paid assistant in the NCAA no?

baconus66

This just seems so wildly weird. In a way it makes sense for all parties involved but on the other hand it just seems so out of left field and unprecedented. I would have loved to hear the first phone call or read that first email or text. If you're Miller it takes a huge amount of balls to call up ...

baconus66

Mayes and Turner we major fails, Lyons and Jones too to a certain extent. Calling Momo a failure is lunacy. He was the only person on that team that wanted the ball in his hand when things got bad. If it weren't for Momo we would have lost to Memphis and Duke, not to mention a good number of regula...

I said it a page or two and I'll say it again. The first offer to replace Pasternak should go to Joseph Blair. Promote Phelps to associate head coach and give Blaire the big men I like the idea but I think the Cats need a bigger name especially with recruiting He might not have all the connections ...

Well it would appear the top 5 are the blue bloods and 6-8 are the red bloods.

Maybe we need to make the navy our primary over the cardinal. Maybe that is what is holding us back from more final fours

baconus66

I had a pretty strong showing to cap off the season in fifth. I think that's my best finish since my first year playing (2011-12? maybe).

Thanks for doing it, always a lot of fun

baconus66

It sounds like there is a decent chance we will have some coaching shakeups again this season. I've said it before and I'll say it again I would like to see a real big man coaching the big men. Zeus improved most when he was working under Joseph Blair. If Pasternak goes I think Miller should offer t...

I'd guess it's something much more mundane. I always got the impression that Byrne strongly encouraged all his coaches to have twitt...

Every year I have seen minor tweaks to Miller's system and I am sure he will continue tweaking away until he perfects his system. I know a great coach is the one that deals with adversity the best and I think Sean Miller did a great job with that this year with the loss of Ferguson and Smith and the...

Hey there is one. We need to bring this back. I'm not particularly good, but I have a lot of fun doing these.

We need a Photoshop thread. That was a constant favorite of the old site

I feel like such a bad fan reading this thread.

Best I can remember I have never thrown or broken anything watching a game. And my girlfriend's kids were around me watching a game for the first time Saturday and they aren't terrified of me.

Apparently I need to step it up.

Why not take your anger out on something that you can't hurt, like a normal person? The first time I read this sentence, I thought you were advocating taking my anger out on a normal person.

I'll say the same thing here that I said for St Mary's. If we are a final 4 team we shouldn't be too worried about an 11 seed, even if they have played well the last 2 games. We need to get out and attack the zone early, take the ball inside early and then hit some threes. Take care of the ball and ...

TJ is without a doubt better than PJC but they have a similar skillset. Rondae did somethings that no one on this team can do. And like JMJ mentioned I think he would pair really well with Lauri at the 5

baconus66

PJC
Kadeem
Rawle
Ronde
Lauri

That would be a fucking dangerous 5

baconus66

I'd go a different direction.

Rondae

Add his defensive abilities to this team and even the best offensive teams would struggle to score.

Nothing better than a Sunday relaxing and watching tourney bball knowing we are safely through to the sweet 16 Amen, hoping for all close games that come down to buzzer beaters, something this tourney has been short on so far.

That was some #noeasybuckets shit, except he got fouled not the other way around. Love watching Rawle play

Also a good move to start with dusan, chance, and pinder on him. Then in the second half with lauri with zero fouls he can go to work on landale without worrying about it

Doesn't really happen that often does it (high major coach taking asst. coach job), maybe when Jeff Capel went back to Duke. I'd rather Book leave and Romar take the position not Pasternak I would too, but far more opportunities out there for Joe. I honestly cannot believe he is still here. Well re...
