Just noticed that Amy Miller deleted her Twitter account. Any background info into this? Just weeks away from allergies season. https://twitter.com/clubtrillion/status/962772905783447553 https://twitter.com/CoachingChanges/status/956950885589975047 Just advance notice.

What is that famous quote? Something about the harder I work the luckier I get? A cliche is about the most insightful thing I would expect you to contribute to the board... Hard work pays off, no doubt. And those who do not accept that lost outcomes in life are also heavily impacted by chance are d...

When you can't play D, you have to believe in myths like Luck and lack thereof. Postulating that certain bad results (losses) are impacted by random chance is a very far cry from asserting that ALL bad results/ losses result from bad luck. You know that... The latter would be akin to saying "Scooby...

Dude I met Miller once at the Olympic club in sf and he was awesome. That was machina’s quote that odogg put under my heading when he tried to quote to respond to machine.

I didn't like Miller for years due to off the court stuff he did that directly impacted groups I am involved with, friends and me. But I have completely forgiven. Exactly why I love Miller. Hold on dude, don’t quote me with Phx words. I just want the record straight for those that speed by. Whoa. C...

And final four, that and national tiles are all that matter to me from here on out. Well, if you only look at final fours and national titles as a measure of success, I would have to say that you are a moron. With all due respect, of course. For the coach after Miller Come to Arizona where we are o...

Okay, interesting. So I’m not the only one having these thoughts. I love Sean. He’s a good guy and has meant a lot to this program. Just feels like a change may be needed soon. There’s just not enough to show for the unbelievable recruiting success he’s had. Most expected us to steamroll the Pac th...

Harvey Specter

Maybe I'm in the minority, but even in the midst of a (so far) disappointing year with a lot of rocky patches, I don't question whether Miller is our guy. As a comparison point, Duke is just as loaded as we are. They've gone 19-5, and are third in the ACC at 7-4. No one wonders if Coach K is the gu...

Harvey Specter

Funny how it seems Miller is always unlucky Actually he is not... you don’t win as many games & conference championships as he has being unlucky... he has certainly had his moments as everyone does. This season has undoubtedly been disappointing... and if it were representative of his tenure here, ...

His last class comes in at #10 in the conference, 11 by some. He can't beat out Herm Edwards for goodness sake. He only has 13 seniors for next year leaving a bottom heavy roster. Sumlin will have to make some tough choices but RR will not be missed What is comical is that some of those who continu...

Other than Kevin Doyle, anyone else that we are getting? According to Scheer's tweet there were 2 other secret signings from early period that were never announced. Not sure what they are waiting for. Plant & Joiner They were already committed. I wouldn't count that a secret. https://twitter.com/Ja...

Not sure what they are waiting for.

Harvey Specter

As a recruit, what is the point of doing that? Then other schools get in trouble recruiting you. So that they can toy with the fan's emotions and back out with no announcement. 1. Possibly to not be harassed by locals and others about their school choice. Once they sign, its a short time till they'...

Friendly suggestion: Believe the opposite of what your gut reaction & instincts tell you to.

You'll rocket from worst to first in the arena of situational awareness and intuitive perception, but maintain the consistency you have now.

Trier is kind of Salim Stoudamire without the killer instinct Sell. You think he's better? Give me Salim every day Trier is nothing like Salim and Trier also has a killer instinct. It's a nonsensical sentence. It's actually really frustrating that big news for Trier was just announced (his inclusio...

Sounds like a coaching issue (if the team can't lock in and play together for the majority of the game) I am shocked you might think that :lol: It is interesting that you think defense is important, at least in basketball.

Harv, you know I respect your opinion so for sake of discussion. How much time is needed for an appropriate sample size in a single game. I have always maintained that single game outcomes are the result of aggregate plays, decisions, and nuances that occur over the game. The perception is the the ...

You make your own luck. You fight for loose balls, and win them, then luck seems to follow you. Cats lost almost every loose ball situation. That's popular conventional wisdom that makes for a nice mantra. As for the value of conventional wisdom, I side with Thomas Paine. Over time that statement a...

Your point is fair, but I would say that is the 2nd best stat line from a PG we have had in the last 10 years. this statement is just not true outside of 10/11 & 11/12 every other player at that spot has been much better on the stat line, and thats not even accounting for other intangibles like lea...

What if Bibby were our starting pg this year.... no question in my mind Arizona would be undefeated and the number one team in the nation - no doubt about it whatsoever for reference - 9-1 in conf play with this 32mpg - 7.9ppg - 36%fg - 37.5%3pt - 87.5%ft - 2.4rpg - 5.3apg - 1.2spg - 1.5tpg Your po...

Are you contractually obligated to mention Final Fours in every post? Read the article in there. He recruited people like Rawle, Rondae, etc after that issue. Why was he still here? Because he was landing a lot of talent. That's why Miller put up with other stuff. And it bit him square in the ass. ...

Harvey Specter

You are clueless. The play was called to have a 7 foot Dusan at the top of the key to throw over the top to a 7 foot Ayton, who had his man pinned for an easy layup/dunk. Watch again and you will see why Miller was pissed. I would much rather have the ball go to the block than to have Dusan shootin...

Bobby “Tantrum” Hurley just signed a 5 year extension with asu. I can see Bobby wanting to stay at asu until Duke opens up. I can see him thinking he is doing a far better job than he actually is and thinking he should get it. But he wont. And he wont be at asu once Duke opens up one way or the oth...

Just something I heard yesterday. Miller and his coaches will only have 1 session of their summer camp and the reason that was said was they didn't know if they would be here. That was depressing to hear Is that reliable? It does not have a ring of reliability in my opinion. I don't see why there w...

I've been told that Sumlin does in fact love Tucson and most would not be surprised if this was his last job. He hasn't been here long enough. He's been out recruiting, mostly. I'd like to believe this was his last job but there is a higher chance that it is not. Exactly. He was hired 17 days ago a...

One other team in the last 30 years has started conference play 9-1 in consecutive seasons. And it was not Lute's.

Harvey Specter

Some quick thoughts. With the way Miller has recruited and the performance of the team the last several years, it is very reasonable that final fours are the new goal and not meeting that goals is frustrating and disappointing. I have asked this before but how many regular season and conference tou...

Glad to see Cecil is still around, hopefully he can move into a coaching position someday. If he were more capable than someone else he would already have that position. Be glad Sumlin threw you a bone. Can anyone confirm that he wanted a different job? As far as being capable, the guy was a coordi...

There is a very very slight possibility, similar to the chances of winning the lottery, that U of A gets a #1 seed. i appreciate your ability to break down almost anything into laymen’s terms for me -- its so refreshing to have such a clairvoyant and clear thinker around here, able to quantify and ...

I am all for bagging on Hansen but what is the point of that without posting a link to the article or naming the player? The player was David Pak, though finding an online copy of the article would be pretty difficult I'd imagine. In my googling I found this page: https://www.newspapers.com/newspag...

Stewart Mandell has U of A as the 4 in the West. Why does it matter? Mandela over the last 5 years has been the 2nd most accurate out of 131 "brackettologist" in terms of who gets in and seeding. With U of A's best win being a struggling asu or a struggling Texas A&M it will be very very very tough...

Dusan had the hot hand, I had no issue with the shot but I get why Miller did. But honestly, I think his reaction to it especially after it went in was a bad look and I think it hurts future recruiting. Do guys want to play for a coach who acts that way when you make a vitally important shot in a t...

Harvey Specter

Yes, I agree, I watched the last 10 or so minutes of the game, dusan was definitely the hot hand, making the good decisions, most confident....... it was almost as if CSM was just exasperated and saying "of course that shot is gonna drop, I set something totally different up but kids gonna be kids....

Harvey Specter

It was a bad shot but no one else was in position for a good one and Dusan was hot from that position all game. Was it a bad shot when he nailed it at 6 left in the first? Or at the 10 minute mark in the second? Halftime is where you give your talking too if you don’t Dusan shooting that. But we al...
