Teams play too many out-of-conference games now for that to be true. imo. We played Duke,Kentucky,Indiana in the regular season Big 12 was 8-3 in NCAA Tournament this year I just don't see such an extreme schedule softness to cause a problem. Big 12 has KU,Baylor and West Virginia this year that are solid teams. Sounds like an excuse to me.

And you can continue to be as much of a total dumbass in this thread as you are in the DC forum.

The people that think their coach is perfect. or The people who try to critique their coach just like all the rest. Is there such a thing as a perfect coach? If I'm spoiled then you're arrogant.

Ted Owens had 2 in 19 years, Bill 2 in 14. Hard to believe.

Self has played to go to the Final Four 7 of 14 years. Roy Williams has played to go the Final Four 8 of 14 years. That's pretty damn impressive for both coaches. The question i ask is why does it seem Self's teams struggle in the elite eight?

When bracket time comes around, people are starting to predict a KU loss. It's becoming the norm, not the exception. That will start to effect recruiting eventually.

But to say it is Self's fault is epic stupid ass. Teams miss shots dude. Bad shooting nights happen. It wasn't scheme, we were getting our looks, it wasn't Self telling these guys to choke or whatever the **** else you think it is. Shots didn't go down man. It happens. It's like Freethrows. Everybody should make every freethrow. Ever. That is just muscle memory and it even looks the same everytime. But virtually nobody shoots better than 85%. Missed shots and shooting nights happen. But noooooooo. That's not good enough for PB, he has to throw stats out there like they're ****ing TROOF MOTHA****ERS, but then completely abandons an argument when asked about statistical significance about the numbers he's throwing around like everyone should know them as truth. Then BY GOD Roy is better. Oh wait, he was essentially Self at KU? Fine. WE NEED SQUEAKY UP IN THIS BITCH. Oh Squeaky sucks? FINE. BUEHLER AND DA PANTS LOVE DA FARM LEAGUE, YO. Get the **** out of here with that shit. I like you and I usually like your takes, but you're off base here man. This stuff happens to other teams, too and yeah, it makes you want to beat your head against the wall, but to pretend like Self is some schlub of an in-game coach is just damn ignorant. Then to try to pile on me and pretend like I'm some guy that doesn't care about the dance because we won the conference? **** that. I've been hard on Self for some things - focusing too much on the post game when it isn't working, not running a press for a few possessions when you need to change the tide of a game, not selling out on a hot shooter in favor of helping down low. But to draw a correlation from losing to put it on Self is just dumb. You're better than that. Quote:
That doesn't excuse Lucas' inability to keep his base. And overall, offensively and defensively, Manning's loss is a big one. Quote:
But the big deal is Self always has a 1 or 2 seed, so really all he can do is meet expectations or underachieve. Whereas other teams get lower seeds with bad years, so they get a repreave from the pressure. |

Hey, I don't think you're wrong if you love the guy. But why do y'all get so **pissed** at those of us who don't? Why is that so offensive? I'll never get it.
He's demoralized a chunk of our fanbase with these flameouts. This was the first year in my life (even toddler years, even when I lived away) I didn't go to AFH. I knew the ending would be the same: him staring clueless and emotionless on the sideline in an NCAAT loss to a veteran coach. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I do wonder what qualification you have to tell me I am. |

Of course everyone wants championships, but that doesn't diminish the regular season accomplishments & certainly doesn't make a season bad because they didn't win the championship. |

If I came across as anything except talking ball I apologize. It wasn't intentional. I was just talking about what you were posting. If you're going to make an assertion and don't expect people to discuss it, I can't really help you. I'll go back through the NCAA thread, but I don't recall being pissy there. Quote:

Here is our dialogue in the NCAAT thread. Again, I wasn't telling anyone they were super wrong for not bowing at the altar of Self.
I'm sorry if I came off as a dick, but if you're going to post stuff on a discussion board saying our coach is a hack, I'll probably go through the details and refute your claim if it needs it. Once again, I didn't get pissy until you threw out your snide remark. Even then, I posted that I didn't want to fight, but you're off base on this one, and you just kept digging because you really want to blame it on Self. Quote:
