No.

You're going to be told that ADS-B (the system that was turned off) isn't the primary data source. The aircraft's Mode C transponder is the primary data source. Not all aircraft have ADS-B capability.

Wow, that's probably more than the point spread will be. Bad matchup in your opinion with the size advantage they will have at the basket?

I was hoping they would win @OSU and come in overconfident. But instead worst case scenario, losing a heartbreaker. Maryland will have energy on Sunday.

I think its a bad matchup and they can defend, going to need 50 combined from ace/dylan to win....for RU to win this game needs to be in the uppers 70s and 80s range

they certainly are not unbeatable...they have struggled even with some mediocre teams and blew a big lead at Ohio State. I think they are very balanced and have guys at every position

Rick Pitino has been successful for decades.

Why?

1) Brilliant at Xs and Os
2) Unique ability to identify talented players and develop them
3) Willingness to adapt quickly to changes in the game, on the court and off it
4) Experience coaching at all levels of the sport - college, NBA, Europe, national team

What other basketball coach in the history of the sport possesses these traits?

One example of coaching Rick can do that no other coach can: Billy Donovan.

Back in the day, Billy played at Providence and averaged 2 points his freshman year and 3 points his sophomore year.

Then Rick was hired as Providence coach. Billy told Rick he wanted to transfer to get more playing time. Rick called the coaches at the schools Billy was interested in, such as Fairfield. The coaches told Rick they had no interest in Billy.

The grin on Rick's face widened.

The reason is the NCAA adopted the 3 point shot, and Rick new his Providence team had shooters, including Billy, who could shoot 3s as good as any team in the country. Rick named Billy starting point guard and he led team in scoring with 15 per game. The next year, Billy scored 21 per game and led Providence, a tiny Catholic school in a state with little basketball talent, to the Final Four.

Not many coaches, if any, can do this.

Thanks, Koko.

Just the kind of review I was looking for.

(Funny that today's New York Times reviewed the same question about Pitino in its lead sports section article just a few days after I posted my request for opinions!)

Generally, though, it is still a mystery, isn't it: what makes a Wooden a Wooden, a Saban a Saban, a Parcells a Parcells, a Pitino a Pitino, a Belichick a Belichick, etc. It's got to be some rare combination of X and O expertise and unique instincts about talent recognition and teaching and motivation methods. (Oh, and your number 3 above!)

Here’s a brain teaser for the board NETizens:

Approximately what would our NET be, and the likelihood of getting a NCAA bid, if we finish 6-2 with the only 2 losses being at UM and at Purdue by 1 point each, where we were efficient on both ends of the floor?

This will be 40% of your grade. Show your work.

Pretty simple - if PSU, Iowa, and OKST continue to grab all the top guys and finish 1-2-3 every year college wrestling is going to get real boring real quick. It’s not good for the sport. That PSU-Iowa dual last week could not have been more boring. All the B10 Friday Night hype was BS because everyone knew it wasn’t going to be close.

I really don't think that'll happen. Ohio State is going to win a few trophies over the next few years. Cornell is always tough, so is Michigan (not this year), Nebraska, Iowa St, UNI, MN, VTech.

I think there will be a shift towards those schools for a few years for recruiting, but eventually lineups will be jammed. Also, if that's the case, wouldn't it open up the portal?

The bonehead plays by JWill are mind boggling this late in the season for a team captain and leader- the 10 second violation when he was not covered; the 3 point foul, shooting early in the clock during the last 2 minutes, the walking violation. He did make up somewhat for these with his foul shooting and intensity in the second half, but still could have cost us the game. BTW, we all have moaned about the team's foul shooting all year, but this game was clearly won at the foul line.

Funny you say that about the shot clock operator. I was wondering if anybody else noticed. It didn't "feel" like 10 seconds to me. But then also, the score bug on the broadcast quickly flipped to 30 seconds then back to what I presume was on the actual clock at the RAC. It was under 4-5 seconds I think. But those score bugs are directly connected/reflective of what's on the actual clock.

A little odd regardless of its impact.

GRNY did a quarterly rebalance on Wed. From FS Insights public announcement:

Maryland coming off deflating loss with 12:00 start time. Rutgers more motivated. Rutgers wins 74-70

Most people aren't concerned with mass...they look and see what's out there..a couple of inches of snow including sleet

Most peeps just need to stay off the roads between 4pm and midnight and things should be fine upon wakey unless we really get hit with freezing rain

Not a long duration event

Same here, if I can send texts/calls, receive calls and texts I'm fine. I'm not someone who's glued to my phone and needs it everywhere I go. For some reason that's strange to a lot of people. Now my wife on the other hand, she always needs the newest phone which seems to come out every 6 weeks. She should just crazy glue it to her hand as he treats it like a child's pacifier.

i think we will be 8 pt dogs

Posting Pivotal maps in mixed snow/sleet events is misleading, as it makes it look like there's no frozen precip for areas getting significant sleet (i.e., most areas showing less than 3-4" of pure snow). For the GFS, the comparison of the TT and Pivotal maps are also showing more sleet (a bit like the NAM) where the sleet amount = (TT "snow" (which includes 10:1 sleet) - Pivotal pure snow)/3; when they show the same amount of "snow" that means no sleet. Would be nice to have a sleet map and a pure snow map.

Finally found this, which really shows well the amounts of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain for the 12Z NAM for selected locations. For Newark, it has 0.54" total precip, which includes 1.7" of snow (assumes 10:1 ratio), about 1.1" of sleet (from 0.37" of sleet as liquid and using a 3:1 ratio) and no freezing rain or plain rain.

For Philly, it has 0.69" total precip, which includes 1.4" of snow, about 0.3" of sleet (from 0.11" of sleet as liquid and using a 3:1 ratio), but it also shows 0.42" of freezing rain (and no plain rain), which would be just terrible. Rule of thumb is maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of freezing rain precip actually accretes on sub-32F surfaces (some runs off, especially if precip is moderate to heavy; drizzle accumulates much better), meaning maybe 0.25" of ice accretion, which is close to the 0.17" of accumulated freezing rain from the NWS forecast.

Biggest take home message is no plain rain, so this will be quite impactful even for areas south of 78 which might get a lot less pure snow, as sleet and freezing rain are as bad or worse. Even AC is only showing half of the 0.6" of total precip as plain rain. Of course, this is just the NAM model verbatim and the actual outcome might be much different as per the NWS with more snow and less sleet/freezing rain for most.
