[QUOTE="spdrama, post: 989080, member: 3280"] I don’t see much post game coaching decision “talk about” or speculation. I see a lot of second-guessing, complaining, hindsight whining with a complaining, disrespectful and “I know better” than the coaches attitude. As for not making the tourney as a HC, CDS was only a HC once before. He was on the Memphis coaching staff when they made the tourney in 2011-12. He was on the Arizona coaching staff when they made the Elite 8 2014-15. He took over a 12-13 (6-10) Pacific U team under post season ban & scholarship reduction sanctions for academic fraud and in 3 years led them to a 23-10 (11-5) 3rd place Western Conference tie and was named conference Coach of The Year. The Western Conference only received 2 tourney bids that year (Covid cancelled) to Gonzaga & BYU. He also led his HS to two State championships, was a first team college All American, finalist for college player of the year and PAC 10 player of the year. He’s played for the U.S. National Team, was the NBA 7th draft pick & NBA rookie of the year. And long before practices even started at GT he made, what might be the best coaching decision in a long time by bringing in Karl Hobbs as his assistant, resulting in Ndongo’s decommit from Rutgers. The players seem to relate well to him and they and their families really like him (according to at least one player’s parent) with the benching of Abram suggesting one possible exception. By contrast, I’ve yet to see any post here by someone who knows this game better than CDS or who can support an end of game strategy in a tight game against a highly ranked & accomplished team of substituting a raw Freshman on “speculation” instead of a go for the win or take the loss with our best players on the court.
