Is there a more unlikeable head coach than Jim Boeheim?
- Thread starter SpartanJD
- Start date
So the same as 99% of other power programs?
Make sure to shout from the rooftops that Boeheim should start scheduling games like mid majors. Let me know how it goes.
edit: for comparison, MSU plays one OOC game out of state, against Seton Hall. You’re in the Maui Invitational, but that’s not controllable because the invites rotate. Cuse would go there if invited and has multiple times. So your own school doesn’t even schedule more out of state games than Syracuse, but you want to throw rocks?

That argument would make sense if either venue was actually selling out. Here's a better way to look at the results:
141,159 / 13 = 10,858 (Syracuse didn't compete in 2015)
82,390 / 14 = 5,885
+ 4973 a game for Greensboro, which is also an 84.5% increase from Brooklyn. That is significant.
Was gonna say, who gives a shit about Greensboro? Lol weak rebuttal on their part.
Capacity influences open seats. If Barclays gets less than capacity to show up, that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t sell more seats if capacity was higher. Say Barclays was getting 18k out of the 19k cap. If the cap magically increased to 23k, attendance wouldn’t stay at 18. It would probably inflate to 21 or 22k.
Kentucky was played out of state, and you can't discount Maui just because it doesn't support your argument so that looks like 5 games to me.
Huh? What's the difference between what Auburn did last year and What South Carolina did in '17?
Both teams took on water during the season, both teams were loaded with really good veteran players and both teams peaked at the right time.
Great, y'all made a ff with a veteran team, it's impressive, but definitely not as impressive as what the blue bloods have been doing.
Auburn has the same opportunities as the Blue blood programs do. A lot of these top 10 kids are going to the Missouri's, the LSU's, the Oklahoma State's and the Oregon's of the world, so it's not like UK/duke/unc/ku are getting all the blue chip kids and besides that, Auburn had a stud recruit last year.
So what makes Auburn's run more impressive than anyone else's run? Heck, I'd take Virginia's turn around run last year over just about anyone's run in the modern era.
Maui doesn’t count. Nice try though. Everybody else here recognizes that. We’re talking about scheduling. There are only a handful of worthwhile preseason tournaments coaches can go to and they have to get invites. You can’t shoehorn it in because that fits your narrative.
So you have 2 to Syracuse’s 1. Proud of you.
5,885 / 19,000 = 31%
10,858 / 23,000 = 47.2%
Edit: Looks like the NCAA attendance for conference tournaments only captures 7 games. Early rounds aren't factored into the calculation.
So, the numbers would be...
Greensboro, 2015: 141,159 / 7= 20,165 average (87.7% of capacity)
Brooklyn, 2018: 82,390 / 7= 11,770 average (61.9% of capacity)
Either way, Greensboro is a better venue for the conference.

"The NCAA has suspended Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim for nine games and imposed harsh sanctions on his program because of violations involving academic misconduct, extra benefits and the university drug testing policy that occurred under his watch for more than a decade"
Auburn won the sec the year before. South Carolina had one good season. Auburn hadn’t made the tournament in 15 years until the 2017-2018 season. Now we have in just the last two years:
A regular season sec title
A sec tournament title
A final 4
Auburn has been the most accomplished team over the last 2 seasons in the SEC. This after not even being in the dance for 15 years.
the assertion was cheater. which the excerpt doesn’t speak to.
you sure you want to get into this battle with me? you really sure?
- Billy Edelin was paid slightly more than minimum wage to officiate YMCA basketball games for a summer.
- Fab Melo was suspended by the school for academic ineligibility. He also had a paper heavily edited by a tutor.
- The school had a drug test reporting policy on the books that didn’t match what the Athletic Department did in practice, across all sports. They realized parents didn’t want to get calls about weed test results so they stopped calling parents. Technically, by what was written, failure to call the parents meant players were ineligible to play until the call happened. Drug testing policies also aren’t even required by the NCAA.
These were the infractions. Point me to the one that shows JB had a hand in cheating, not some ‘failure to monitor’ bullshit.
I’ll wait

at least someone gets to
she’s 3 weeks out from a c-section. 3 more weeks til I get to poke her. Doctor’s orders
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense. Congrats on the baby.
Yeah, but what did her dentist say you couldn't do? Butt doctor?
There are things you ask a sleep-deprived woman recovering from surgery while breastfeeding a newborn and trying not to murder her toddler, and things you don’t ask.
That’s funny, IDGAF who you are.Later that week . . .
