You would've taken a $100 million and hired Mark Few?

Why not?

Proven winner. Top 10 program re-established. Bigger gate. Higher ticket prices. More high-profile WINS against top 10 teams. Final 4 runs...perhaps a national championship.

THEN renovate the Shoe on the profit margin.

I know the thought is to break the bank to bring in a top notch coach...

That said Mark Few isn't coming to Ohio. He will retire at Gonzaga.
He has turned down other big paydays to stay at the school and part of the country that he loves.
He was interviewed the other day and talked about fly fishing and regularly traveling to Alaska.

Why not spend $100 million on a basketball coach? That would pay for 11 seasons of Coach K at his current rate. You're just gonna throw that money at Few, hope he maintains his current level of success for a whole decade, and if he doesn't... what, exactly?

And all the while we're still playing in a crappy arena that we hope to renovate with...the profit margin

WTF are you on aboot? By definition, when you lose, you did not score enough. Stop thinking like Mick 03-banghead

That's an idiotic take on it. It is obviously a spectrum and I'd say this game our Defense killed us. If we would have lost 130-140 would you have said our offense was the problem or our defense? Vegas had the over at 138 so 69 points per team. We gave up 79 and the total points in the game were 151. Obviously, our defense didn't play well.

Agreed, our offense played reasonably well, even with us missing a number of open 3's. But our defense got torched. Iowa shot 50% from 3 and 54.7% overall. I don't care if you are the best offense in the country, if you let a team shoot like that you're not winning many game. It's been a consistent theme all season, our offense has above-average for Cronin. But the defense has been far below average for Cronin.

Offensively 43.1% is good enough to win most games. A large number of our misses were on open 3's (Broome, Moore and Williams). It wasn't bad offense, just missing open shots. If you played excellent D maybe you can afford to miss those, but if you played the horrible D we did today, you have to make the shots to keep up.

Our defense got burned because our coach thought a matchup zone with two bigs on the court who cant stick with guards was a smart way to counteract a lineup of shooters running off high picks. Shouldve moved to man 8 minutes sooner than he did, literally the entire section I was sitting in was on that way before he was. Far too confident in his scheme, and not able to see the fairly obvious adjustment that needed to be made.

The press break and lackadaisical offensive plan when they moved to the 1-2-1-1 press and 1-3-1 half court defense were both laughable, that's what cost us the game. Their coach made strong adjustments, our coach didnt make any (which happens nearly every game).

Today honestly felt like watching an early Tuberville game for me...obvious cracks forming and overconfidence in his own scheme without making any game adjustments that could even slightly help move the outcome into the positive, propped up by talent that had been there previously. Now with the way we have recruited recently...who knows what happens when Jarron leaves in Curtis isn't lights out.

Nice take! I thought you were a football guy. ?

Maybe it is over-confidence or unwillingness to change. If teams keep making threes I don’t See why you don’t just switch to man. It’s basic. it’s what we play on the playground. They can create switches but you have to have personnel out there that can switch. At least being near the shooter.
This just might be the biggest thing to watch for next year.

I have seen changes in offensive philosophy. If you listen to him post game he has said over and over that you have to be able to score to beat good teams. And I see him trying to make changes there.

I still have hope for Diarra But putting him in there in the first half is where the whole thing started to slide. I guess he was thinking offense. That we have to have scorers out there. That’s why he didn’t go with Nsoseme.

I guess at the end of the day you need better players. We had almost no bench. Just one player. In addition got to find a way to have team stop torching us on three. At least switch the defense to man. And unleash the athletes more on offense- or maybe we can’t because then the team runs the other way and gets dunks and layups. Man this is tough.

(I am still watching it... So, I don't have any "Bullet Points" or "Takeaways" from it.)
We do have a nice program. Justin and Tre telling each other that they love them. Lotta brotherhood

The odds are very high that he WOULD continue his success because he has a LONG track record of CONSISTENT success. Just like our current coach has a LONG track record of March flame-outs.

It's called data analysis and it works for all the major insurance companies and investment firms.

You should try it some time.

BTW...Villanova won a national championship under Massimino in a crappy arena..the facility matters a lot less than the coach on the sidelines.

Speaking of crappy arenas...Cameron Indoor is no palace. Yet guys fall all over each other to go there. Why? Coach matters more than the glitzy arena.

I'd rather play in a crappy arena and watch a final four team than watch a one and done in a palace---

CLAPBACK.
