its not laziness...they literally are working on seeding that Friday and Saturday and putting them in regions.....conference tourney finals on Saturday in the acc, sec, big east will NOT EFFECT seeding...its as simple as thatHow many games per year, on average, are left by Friday that would have a real impact on actual selection (not seeding) if they were given full weight? It's got to be less than one per year on average right?
It's funny that a man who puts so much work into bracketology would justify such laziness by the people actually picking the bracket.
If it's too much work for the humans have an algo pick the brackets. "Games after Thursday don't count because it's too much work" is just super, super weak.
Martini also got a pretty generous whistle in guarding Vlad (who was also battling the flu). Would be surprised if thats replicable on the roadI agree on Bailey they won't be able to cover nearly as aggressively now that Dylan is back. UCLA and USC seemed to try something similar and Harper dominated.
Hopefully Ogbole can give some good minutes but I wouldn't count on it and I hope he has a short leash. Martini did very well on Goldin last game and I can see him giving Ogbole fits.
This ^^^^ scenario always frightens me with RU. Making good, forward-looking decisions in a timely manner is not an RU strength. Hopefully, this time...🙏🙏,Will be interesting to see how RU attacks this one. Many different profiles in these roles across the landscape. Dunleavy at Nova comes from the coaching ranks, Baker at Duke with a Nike background, Kline at Cuse with recruiting and some NBA, Carolina went the ex agent route. Will be interesting to see what type of profile emerges as the most successful. Regardless - there are many connected to RU with all of those type of backgrounds. At the end of the day - RU will get what they pay for as the pool of talent for this role will be highly coveted as most high majors add this role and a supporting staff over the next 90-120 days. Need to invest the right way here.
yes but conference records are not even looked atWhat are they 5-10 in conference?
Absolutely disgusting situation, which resulted in hiring Julie, who wasn’t a good fit. Karma but us in the behind.Yea his only choice was firing Rice which would have resulted in Barchi also throwing him under the bus. Lose/lose situation. Barchi is and was an absolutely culpable in this situation.
And you work in the same building as the basketball practices, so there’s no way you don’t know how things go at those practices.I'll never forget Pernetti speaking at a Court Club meeting in January 2013. While addressing the club he said (paraphrasing), "An athletic director at a major university has a myriad of responsibilities, but will ultimately be judged by who he hires as the head football coach and head men's basketball coach."
Three months later, the Mike Rice fiasco came to light and he was gone.
Barchi was throwing everyone under the bus regardless. Barchi and counsel told Pernetti not to fire Rice but suspend him. Then reversed course and fired Tim for not disobeying those orders.I am not so sure Barchi would have fired Tim if he fired Rice when it first broke.
