[QUOTE="spdrama, post: 990246, member: 3280"] It’s called the Dunning Kruger effect. Sometimes a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous as it can cause us to tunnel vision and ignore lots of other things that are going on. The end result of this is that we are “less good” at whatever task is being evaluated than we THINK we are because we aren’t considering the whole picture. Fans (short for fanaticals) complaining & whining about sporting events are usually neither professional athletes nor professional coaches. They aren’t these things because they aren’t as good as the people they watch play. Why aren’t they as good? Because they don’t know anywhere near as much of the sport as they think they do. Lot’s of casual sports fans love this ignorance because it is easy to bloviate and have opinions with no real penalty for being wrong. I think your take on a poster’s dislike is spot on. In one post he summed up CDS’s experience as a 77-79 record as head coach with never making the tournament & without any proven ability to coach at ACC level. Great research of CDS career as player & coach there. But he will find the time to rewatch a tape of one ballgame and count 3 point misses & attempts in order to opine on how many bad shots were taken. I don’t know about everyone else here, but it has been many years since I have been this interested & excited about a GT basketball team, the season and the recruiting. Just wish I could attend more games in person. Not going to let anyone yuck my yum. [/QUOTE]
