An interesting thing to contemplate is that the shoe contracts for coaches were essentially the forerunners of NIL (business funded NIL rather than the consumer funded NIL that I don't think will last). Bobby Cremins had one of the first and the highest. NIL should be a bonanza for GT but it is...

I never expected anyone in college athletics to suggest that you give your money to someone else. Strange times indeed.

I agree that it is hard to follow and that there is A LOT of just made up stuff being repeated by sports writers, who should know better. One thing that should be obvious to anyone who casually follows college sports is that school athletic associations cannot fund or support NIL. Schools...

The school cannot fund NIL. This should be obvious.

That was a humiliating defeat.

We were over .500 in the ACC in '20 but there was no postseason. We won 6 of our last 7 headed into the tournament that was cancelled. We were again over .500 in the ACC in '21 then won the tournament. I think those 2 years blend together for many fans so they come up with a story that Pastner...

GT won the ACC in 21. There was no tournament in 20.

The latest data I have from Sportico shows UConn getting over $42M in direct institutional support in the 20-21 school year. It has their annual donations at $2M. The same list has GT getting $2M in institutional support and over $7M in donations. Our budget problems aren't nearly as bad as...

If Houston was staying it might be a discussion.

Big East. P5 in football, P6 in basketball.

Raw numbers are skewed by the total number of rebounds in our games, between our bad shooting and our good 3 point defense. When you use percentages, GT is 9th in offensive rebounding and 8th in defensive rebounding using data from conference-only games. That is a little better than I'd expect...

This is an excellent typo.

I am not disagreeing, just adding what I heard from a good source or two. Like with just about anything there are multiple moving parts.

An important part you left out is that Hewitt told his wife and daughters. They said they didn't want to move. I don't know if he told St. John's he was coming or not but it wasn't official. Take these types of stories for what they are worth. I've heard conflicting info on Mrs. DRad's input...

Did you follow Hewitt's career post-GT?

It was interesting to see Loyola running the 5 out zoom action. I like their offense but didn't know what to call it. You (obviously) need a skilled 5 to run it.

We seemed to get the ball to Howard and out of his hands quicker. We also ran some weave up top that got the perimeter guys moving. It beat running 12 plus seconds off the clock just to get to the second pass!

The original point was that free throw shooting is worse than in the past. It objectively isn't. There have always been players better than and worse than the average. This isn't new. You are trying to confirm your bias. I could list a bunch of years but it isn't going to change anyone's...

More specifically, in college basketball the overall percentage has been between 67-70% for over 50 years. The NBA stays around 75% every year. There is no decline in free throw shooting. It has been very consistent for a very long time.
