Then what would be the purpose of the announcer thread? I don't think we should put all complaints into the 'new thread.'

You seem to have forgotten a very important detail; namely, that I, too, thought he was constantly bashing us. I set out to prove that he was biased AGAINST us. Therefore, your suggestion of my bias is unfounded. Rather than hubris, I was actually humbled to find out that I had been wrong. You...

Category 6 needs a lot of revision now that the portal is so active. Also, need a new number for NIL. All the Coaching Concerns can remain, but K needs to be replaced by S, and we need to add the next concern: Coach S needs to show some passion!. Or Coach S needs to yell at the refs more!. Or...

Sporks for the Psych reference. I'm old school, and therefore use the Chicago Manual of Style. Even they make exceptions, as I noted, for extremely famous (and mostly historical) people whose names ended with an s; Diogenes would likely qualify. I'm still not ready to put Jason in that...

Maybe it is based on the ages of the girlfriends.

Evans's. Even though his last name ends with an s, it is not a plural. Therefore, the possessive is made by adding s's. Exceptions made for Jesus, Moses, Socrates, and the like probably don't apply to Jason. At least not yet. 🤭 (I figure this kind of pedantry is acceptable in a thread...

A few seasons ago I took a scientific approach to this issue, marking down everytime he said something favorable to Duke and favorable to the other team, and also when he said something disparaging about us and about the opponent. I posted the results here. Surprisingly, overall it was pretty...

As if we needed one.

This has been scientifically studied multiple times. One study even showed that just taking the time to vividly imagine shooting and making free throws for a period of time each day can significantly improve free throw shooting performance. Practicing free throws each day with a positive...

This is simply untrue.

Assuming this isn't a joke, or sarcasm, one would have to ask, why would he be? He starts and get plenty of minutes, and he seems to have a long leash.

This thread is worthless without pics!

The author contradicts his own premise. If the game needs no teachers and no coaches and is to be played by the players doing whatever seems best to give them an advantage, then the rule against zone defense doesn't advance that idea; rather, it destroys it. Either the game should be governed...

They allow posters to brings actual facts into our discussions now? What is the world coming to?!?

Agree. They are used to being 12-0 or 13-0 to start the season, but we usually didn't have this many tough games in the early season, and K always had his teams uber-prepared for early season games (unfortunately, many of those teams cooled down the stretch). I'm ok with a tough early...

Who invited Debbie Downer?

It's the feel-good story of the year!

Yes and no. An offense run principally through a point guard isn't a 5-out offense, but I suppose a point guard could be taught to fit in with the concept.

No idea why the ball was snapped. Clearly nobody else on the entire team was expecting it.

Probably because he is trying to work his way to a 5-out offense?
