So all of the narratives of GT having no talent at all was misplaced. Shocking.

When was the last time we were 4th in the regular season? You keep trying to make a case that you can't make. Just let it go. GT won the ACC that season, finishing with 8 straight wins. It is absolutely reasonable to think that team could have won one more. All of the teams played by the same...

Gregory left one player who had played 50% of the team's minutes the prior year (and he barely cleared half.) This is such a silly take. Pastner is no longer here because he couldn't consistently recruit. There is no reason to throw shade at the couple of things he did successfully. Also...

They have no idea what to do. They means the University Presidents, ADs, and the bureaucrats at the NCAA. Charlie Baker, the new President, railed the other day about how the NCAA should have put a framework in place for NIL but did nothing. Indeed. The previous folks actually thought they'd...

Like some government agencies the infraction enforcement part of the NCAA is more concerned with record keeping and following procedures than they are about actual rules violations. As Jay Bilas and others have been pointing out for years, there are way too many rules for there not to be...

You indeed don't understand. Thank you for clarifying.

You quoted my post but don't seem to understand it.

More about Walter Byers and the history of the modern NCAA

The modern NCAA began in 1951 with Walter Byers. Its predecessors aren't relevant to pretty much anything. Byers came to understand that the system he had put in place was outdated and exploitative. This is a must-read for those who opine on this subject. Walter Byers

The main reasons the NCAA exists historically is to: 1. Keep the athletes from becoming employees (the title "student-athlete" was invented for this purpose) 2. Because the schools don't trust each other to follow agreed upon guidelines, which include third party compensation and other things...

Then you have never liked college sports. College sports are inherently imbalanced, always have been and always will be. The institutions have different purposes, different student bodies, and different fans.

He does have El Chapo connections to help him avoid such a thing. That remains my favorite Ron Bellism.

These arguments are misinformed. Pro sports aren't governments. The NFL is a business. The franchises are just that. The business makes rules for the franchises, including how and where they interact and compete. How the rules are adopted is defined by a league defined system. Compensation is...

Don't be mean to the autistic guys.

Banks was proficient at it also but not as versatile as Lammers.

It was slightly higher than the norm this year at 71.7%. The idea that they used to shoot them better in my day is a much repeated myth for sure. The other thing with FT% is that it isn't well correlated with winning games.

Agreed.

The poster is fine. They had their own purposes in mind for that. Drew and Jon had different skills. Jon was a scorer and defender while Drew was a point guard. I get the propensity to lump them together since they are brothers and played in the same time period. What else can we talk about in...

No, you wouldn't have to do that. There can be more than one point guard on a roster. The obvious one to take off is Shumpert, who really was a 3 in the modern game.
