[Jewish Rabbi]

Tomorrow's breaking news: North Carolina basketball suspended from postseason play due to some sort of scandal.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Well both of his teams "should" be given huge sanctions, but...

[alpha_omega]

Guess I wasn't paying attention to UNC BB...didn't realize he had 3 titles.

[Prison Bitch]

Guess he enjoyed the journey.

[smithandrew051]

3 National Titles
9 Final Fours
18 Conference Titles
7 Conference Tournament Titles
2 AP Coach of the Year Awards
9 Conference Coach of the Year Awards

Pretty solid resume. Few have accomplished more.

[AdolfOliverBush]

Well both of his teams "should" be given huge sanctions, but...

It's funny how some of the traditional powerhouses fell off a cliff in the last couple of years. Wonder why? :hmmm:

[tk13]

I was shocked to learn he'd never lost a first round tournament game until this year.

[smithandrew051]

Chris Beard to Texas too.

[New World Order]

Just couldn't win one with Kansas. Won 3 with UNC

[smithandrew051]

Just couldn't win one with Kansas.

I guess that shows the disparity between an elite program and a not so elite program.

Sorry, had to get my mean comment of the day out of the way.

So if Kansas shoots better than 12-30 from the free throw line against Syracuse, then they become an elite program?

[BWillie]

Thanks for the memories daggum memories ball coach.

[BWillie]

I really can't blame free throw shooting on coaching, I can't. It's one thing if you have good shooters and they don't develop in their time there but if you have an ok ft shooting team and they just don't make them in the game...what is the coach supposed to do.

[BWillie]

Chris Beard to Texas too.

If Beard goes to Texas they are going to be a monster.

[Titty Meat]

Won way more titles than Self did

[Jewish Rabbi]

Good for him on retirement. Really turned his career around at UNC after his failure of a tenure at Kansas.

[Pants]

Won way more titles than Self did

Roy and K are in the God tier of CBB coaching.

Self, Izzo, Calipari belong to a tier right below along with a few others.

The nice thing about Self is that he is consistent as fuck and us, KU fans, have never had to live through the occasional turd years like UNC fans had to with Roy.

[Pants]

Tomorrow's breaking news: North Carolina basketball suspended from postseason play due to some sort of scandal.

Great post. However, UNC is clearly untouchable since they came out completely unscathed after the fake classes and diplomas scandal.

[Titty Meat]

UNC is going to fuck themselves by keeping it in the family and hiring Stackhouse when Brad Steven's should be the obvious play here.

[Titty Meat]

Roy and K are in the God tier of CBB coaching.

Give Jay Wright some love too

Where’s Jay Wright?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

So Memphis won in 08 then

[Pasta Little Brioni]

He has to be satisfied with heading to UNC. 3 titles when Roy/Burrito combine for 1 measly one in 3 decades

[KC_Connection]

So Memphis won in 08 then
KU effectively has two titles during the Self era given that they also won in 2020 (AP and Coaches Poll #1). Can't be ignored.

No one outside of Larryville thinks that ROFL Hell, half your fan base isn't that pathetic to say that either. You are for sure though.

Coaches poll number 1 ROFL ROFL

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Why did you edit that? You were right.

[smithandrew051]

So Memphis won in 08 then

Memphis shot 61% from the free throw line in 2008. They shot 63% in the National Title Game.

Kansas shot 65% from the free throw line in 2003. They shot 40% in the National Title Game.

That’s the key difference, but that wasn’t really my point.

My point was that I don’t see why you would think less of Roy or Kansas because of misses free throws in 1 game.

As such, I also don’t think less of that Memphis team for missing some down the stretch. They would have been a very deserving national champ.

[Prison Bitch]

By my calculations KU should have 4 titles. That’s the # of times they led the nation in SRS (points per game > average team, adj for SOS)

1957: 3OT loss in title game with Wilt
2003: loss in title game already discussed here
2008: sweet glorious victory for humanity
2020: stolen by the Chinese

[Deberg_1990]

Good for him on retirement. Really turned his career around at UNC after his failure of a tenure at Kansas.

I Realize he never won a title at KU, but failure? Really?

[Jewish Rabbi]

I Realize he never won a title at KU, but failure? Really?

In what way is not winning a championship successful?

Coaches poll number 1 ROFL ROFL
It's how they awarded national championships in football for 70 years but that's somehow not good enough for college basketball?

He's won two. Time to accept it.

Excuse you. Number 1 in everything. That’s called “consensus”.

A glorious clean sweep. Pure unanimity.

Champion is decided by the tourney...sorry. NCAA agrees. You wouldn't have liked the meeting on the subject. Rock chokes were discussed...sorry

It's not football. Again the NCAA discussed all the Rock chokes and decided there was no way they could gift you a title. By your dumbass opinion the Ravens were SB champs instead of kc

False equivalency. The NFL had and has a postseason to determine their champion. In contrast, there was no such postseason in 2020 in the NCAA. As such, it only makes sense to determine the champion the way that has been done in college sports for the better part of a century. KU was the best team in 2020 and should be considered as such.

The NCAA definitely discussed their past failures. How do you give a team a title that is notorious for failing in the big dance. Besides, it's the NCAA TOURNAMENT champion. The NCAA doesn't award teams for beating up a soft big clank.

Oh that's not my Twitter, but I think we'd all agree it poses a valid point. The alternative to doing so would be not awarding a champion at all, which is the equivalent of erasing a season where 30+ games were played and one team was clearly superior to everyone else.

KU was the best team in the sport in 2020 and was recognized as such by the AP and the Coaches among others. There's little reason to treat them any differently than say, the 1987 Miami Hurricanes or the 1994 Nebraska Cornhuskers in NCAAF.

[Sassy Squatch]

Well, they did.

Nobody suggests they won a tournament that was never held. They were the champions of the 2019-2020 season, though.

They weren't giving a title to team that was just busted paying players that beat up a soft conference and loses in the tournament every year for three decades..and they decided having no champ was better than that

[Sassy Squatch]

Bill Self accepts the fact that they're not the 2020 National Champions.

“This would be the one particular year I’m all for it, without question, but I don’t even put any wishful thinking into that because that is not the way this is all intended to be,” Self said.

[LiveSteam]

Just couldn't win one with Kansas. Won 3 with UNC

Only cause some stupid cock sucker of a ref called Jacque Vaughn for palming.

Im no Jayhawk fan either. But that call pisses me off to this day. And it cost KU a national championship banner.

[Titty Meat]

Who needs Roy when we can play with our Self?
