If you were a top PG prospect why wouldn’t you want to come play for and learn from a college All-American, first round draft pick, 17 year NBA veteran? Especially considering you have zero competition in front of you to worry about. If you are a big, why wouldn’t you want to play for the coach that is credited for developing Rudy Gobert into…[Read more]

Almost makes me consider thinking about going, but instead I’ll probably just be on a stair-stepper.

That mean he’s going to get canned too? Weird.

That is your opinion. The actual results say otherwise. That is my point. You are basically saying that if Smith was a better recruiter he would have better results. Recruiting is a HUGE part of coaching success in college basketball so Smith had a glaring weakness that contributed to his lack of success. Hypotheticals do not win games.…[Read more]

I’m sorry but results are the only stats I care about and if you take away the absolutely dreadful team that Larry inherited from Boylen his first year, Larry’s winning towers over Smith. If winning isn’t the measure than what the hell is? Nerdy, David Locke-esq made up ratios? In college, I look at winning, graduation rates, elevation of…[Read more]

Wow I didn’t know that. RED FLAG.

I am getting really sick and tired of folks on here constantly saying that Larry was a better recruiter and Smith was a better coach. I’m sorry but the numbers just simply do not support that absurd theory. Here are some real numbers:

Larry had 5 20+ win seasons in 10 years, 50%.
Smith had 1 20+ win season in 4 years, 25%
Larry’s overall win…[Read more]

Yeah I can see the country that the IP address is coming from, but that doesn’t mean they’re there.

Thanks. Admittedly when I started the site I just thought I’d sit back and have cordial conversations about the Utes. I didn’t anticipate the trolls, weirdos, and spam bots. Definitely a shocker.

Fortunately I have a paid plugin I’m using that gets most of the spam. There have been 40,000 attempted spams blocked in the last week. A few get…[Read more]

I am sorry but 19 turnovers in a college game is unacceptable vs. any foe, but one that has not won a game in 7 straight tries is beyond ridiculous. It is never a great time to fire someone but sometimes you have to rip off the band aid and just do it. This gives us some extra weeks to find a new coach before the off-season kicks in and…[Read more]

Wow glad I stopped by! Big news (and had to delete some spam)

Isn’t Smith having the same transfer percentages? Or do his not count since they go to our biggest rival? Larry is not Majerus but he is the best basketball coach overall that we have had since Rick. If you say otherwise, you are just not being honest.

Rick Majerus 1989-04 323–95
Joe Cravens (acting) 1989–90 12–12
Dick Hunsaker (acti…[Read more]

The thing about low expectations is it’s easy to exceed them. And the PROBLEM with this is that it makes it more likely Smith isn’t fired/leaves and thus we continue to wallow in mediocrity.

Yeah I bought my first house for $54K. If you need a recommendation I have one.

Calling Craig Smith a good, possibly great coach is the funniest thing I have heard in months. Yes, we just won two games in a row. One against possibly the worst Kansas team we have seen in a decade and the other over a mediocre KSU squad. Prior to that we lost three road games in a row against two mediocre teams and one crappy team. Smith’s…[Read more]

I did the same thing. I had 5 in W13 and it just got ridiculous keeping them and using all of them. The last season I had them I never used all 5 of them once. Such a waste of money. It certainly is a younger man’s game. Now if I want to attend in person I just either buy from friends and family or use the secondary market. It saves me well…[Read more]

I think NIL and the portal make coach loyalty and impact on coaches contracts less of an issue.

No.

Not going anywhere near a restaurant!
