Wherever else could we find a coach capable of slipping past 4-28 Louisville in the Special Olympics round of the ACC Tournament and getting absolutely destroyed by a UNC team that should not make the NCAA tournament unless they win the ACC on Day 2. We should eliminate men’s basketball as a varsity sport to ensure future Title IX compliance. It has gotten to the point where I have passed indifference and want this thing to go so off the rails it becomes a national embarrassment—like maybe a player killing some people like at Bama or better yet, killing each other Baylor-style. I’d settle for another gambling scandal in the mean time as long as the players involved got the Rick Kuhn treatment.
The player development and recruiter are positives with Grant. The actual Xs-O-s play design/rotations are a disaster. With the way they ref modern day basketball, I'm also not sure this style works very well unless you play UVA levels of defense.
I see the appeal to Grant, but I've been out on him all along. The first 2 years have been a success IRREGARDLESS of this evening. They won a bunch of conference games last year plus a good ACCT run and any of us would've signed up for 10 conference wins in Year 2.
