That’s a dumb coach? There’s a difference between not liking someone and thinking they’re dumb because you don’t like them, which is clearly the case here.

I didn't say JB was a dumb coach. I said he was dumb. He's a great coach. That doesn't make him smart.

Is Jim Calhoun dumb, too? Coach K?

No, they're both geniouses in their own ways. Calhoun more so, he has pieces of Schkrewshriski in his stool, but they're clearly one-two the top coaches of their generation. I don't know that either one of them is smart. Calhoun I give the benefit of the doubt to, he might be actually intelligent. Schrewshrenski is more like a rat who can find cheese at the end of a maze. Not smart but trainable. Boehiem's maybe 7th greatest coach of his generation or something, but you don't have to be smart to be a good basketball coach. In fact, I think you have to be stupid to consider coaching as a career  choice.

Devondorf played 4 seasons for Syracuse. I think he performed at D’Angelo Harrison’s level in college. DLO’s game reminded me of Devondorf. If he played for STJ, he would have scored 20 a game for 4 years.

Yeah, no Erectile Dsyfunction didn't play four years for SU. He played generously three years, including a red shirt year and the year he got dismissed for punching a bitch. Whereas D Harrison had a landmark career for one of the preeminent college basketball programs in the history of college basketball. And he did that playing for Steve Lavin, a certiable retard, not Jim Boeheim, if he'd played for JB D'lo'ed have scored 3000 points, not 2400, as opposed to ED's 1600.

Glass houses.

Is Heron better than Ponds? Haven't seen too much of him

If he is this is a final four team.









Settle down.

Ponds is a top 5 player in the country. His point is a good one




Ponds is excellent but not top 5

Ponds is top 5. A fair point can be made that he’s the best player in the country.

Who is better than him?

I’m struggling to see how Ponds is a top 5 player in the country. The team finished 9th in the big east last year and didn’t even make the NIT. Top five players carry teams to the dance by themselves. See Trae Young last year. If he is this will be an exciting year for Johnny fans.

We couldn't handle, rebound, or score down low. Ponds was double and triple teamed all year. The spacing was nonexistent with Simon on the perimeter and no inside scoring threat. How can one player make up for all of that?

Markelle Fultz was the #1 overall pick after winning just 9 games, and he played with four top 100 recruits.

LSU went just 20-10 with a soph Shaq and lost by 17 pts in the first round of the tournament. Shaw was the most dominant player in the history of basketball.

It's so easy to shut down a team with one star.

Ben Simmons at LSU is another example.  Great talent but they didnt make the dance either.
