You have NO facts to support your opinion. None. All the while I've shown what MA has done at his previous programs. I've shown what Nolan did in a similar situation. You're basically "hoping" MA fails here. I'm not sure why, but there's a reason. None of your opinions hold any water when there is nothing to support your argument. So yes, your opinion is shite. Provide me with some sort of factual evidence to support your theory on Anderson, and Ill listen. Keep on with all this garbage you've been spewing, and myself and everyone else will laugh and call you an idiot.

I don't agree with City, but I also don't fault his reasons for forming his opinion. we were never the same after the hand checking rule was changed. We suffered greatly when the media timeouts were standardized at 16, 12, 8, and 4 minutes. I remember our NCAAT game against Iowa in Boise. We had them on the ropes in the altitude. Huffing and puffing and grabbing their shorts. Then, a 3 minute tv timeout. They got their breath and we were ineffective the rest of the way. I think there is merit to that.

However, the key to our success under MA with his system - as with most every other program - is getting better players than our opponents. We won in 94, largely because we were stacked 12 deep.
