I love Collins too. Last year sucks ass without Sherron. This year has several losses also. Sucks that he has to go out like this.

I think Self should have went to the press at half or 10 min left in the first half.

Look what happened when we full court pressed them at the end. We got some turnovers........shoulda done it all game. Should have done it against Bucknell, Tennessee, SIU, and now UNI.

But even w/ that said. Self won a championship. Self has been a great coach since he was at Tulsa. He just needs to adjust to teams play a largely contrasting style. The same that Roy needs to do when he has teams that can't play his game.

There are coaches that are better recruiters than Self, and worse in-game coaches. There are coaches that are worse recruiters, and better in-game coaches than Self. But I still don't think you are going to find a coach that is a way above avg recruiter, way above avg in game coach, and a great ambassador for the game for the university as coach Self

I can't disagree with any of this.
