Look at it season by season, and get back to me. You aren't looking at anything in context. Coach K isn't going to win 20 games a year with a bottom tier team with no talent.

:lolabove: Coach K could win with you playing, He is a real coach. And Duke did not get him out of a box of cracker jacks:hi::cray:

I actually like the hire relative to some of the names we were throwing around. I think he'll recruit well and he will not be walked over in practice by players. I don't know enough about game execution to really comment, but his teams appear to play D and with heart. Those two are the ones you can't play without.

But Pearl made it possible to hire a guy who could elevate the program. That was the team hatvol mantra.

We could have hired a Cuonzo Martin type anytime. Pearl had to go, but this just shows that those who said there would be no consequences are completely wrong. The consequence" hiring an unknown upstart with a short track record/small sample size.

He may succeed in the SEC. But there is little reason to be confident. Huge step down IMO.

Whether this is a bad, good, or great hire only time will tell but the hire went as I said. Someone nobody new. Check my post I new we we're not getting any of the "name" coaches. It is not TN's MO.

What the heck does "someone nobody knew" mean?

My mistake. I thought you were implying Martin was left with a stacked cupboard....which is absolutely wrong. The exact opposite was the case. I apologize.

No problem and no apology necessary. Hope Martin works out but had others that I preferred.

And not directed at you, but the club isn't going to stop folks like me from weighing in with their insults and garbage.

Are you saying IP is better than the guys K had his first three years at Duke? He didn't win with them.

If I join Team Hatvol, you think we can all get matching warm-up suits? I'm thinking Adidas.

They didnt know we'd default on price and Pearl undermined all of the good that he did. It's also hard to underestimate the impact of having an AD in place that everyone expects to be fired.

I should really start sending my tapes off. I have all my eligibility. I think the University of Denver is leaving the Sun Belt for the WAC soon. Could make a splash.

Right back at you. Do you give the hire thumbs up or down. This should be a no waffling zone.

Thumbs up. and I don't know why anyone would give any other answer.

Truth is, we have no clue how he'll do. But we can control our attitude and outlook. I see no reason not to support him.

I hope this hire at least turns off the seasonal basketball fans to the Bball forum...there have been way too many people on here who know nothing about the game clogging up the threads. Hopefully they will all leave after today.

As Forbes was trying to expose when he was crying about the internet destroying recruiting, I'm Nike all the way. Who do you think set Selby up with Carmelo's business manager?

Hmm, I'm down if we can get some sort of logo on the back.
