college sports is broken, with players for sale every year and instant transfers. We're seeing players play for 3, 4, or 5 teams over their career.

It's taken away much of my emotional attachment to the game.

exactly.

Why does anyone watch this garbage?

Just watch the actual games, and ignore the other nonsense.

Houston recruits tough, athletic players. But what makes them great is toughness and effort is DEMANDED by Sampson. It’s the core identity of the program.
This is consistent with what I posted.

Houston recruits strong, tough guys and Sampson demands they play hard and tough. That's 99% of it. Sure, S&C can help a bit, but it's overwhelmingly the god-given body and talent of the player, and the demands of Sampson on the floor, that drive the type of play that we see from Houston. As I've said many times on this board, a coach gets from his players what he demands, and he gets less of what he punishes (the same thing applies to parents, teachers, managers, etc.).

If it were as simple as S&C to make teams play like Houston, then every program in the country would be doing it.

HVL. Nothing else to say
HVL wasn't effective last year.

Playing Gilbert is the first time I’ve ever been angry at Kim Mulkey.
last year, Mulkey had HVL play D on Caitlyn Clark. She clearly wasn't capable of it, but Kim didn't adjust.

I was disappointed to see that. It was crystal clear to anyone watching the game.
quote:

We played dumb and not having a point guard has finally done us in.
our PG is zero offensive threat whatsoever. Zero.

but neither our defense, nor UCLA's, does that nearly enough.

It's elementary. But not done much at all.
or maybe Houston just recruits strong guys.

S&C, while important, is drastically overemphasized on this board.

One of the biggest talent throw aways to come through LSU. Had everything needed to be great. Unfortunately suffered the Les Miles syndrome.
nope.

Harris transferred to UNC and was just awful.

our guards are no threat whatsoever on offense. Especially from beyond the arc.

our small guards are ZERO threat on the offensive end. ZERO.

that's only in a courtroom.

Organizations can fire, suspend, refuse to hire, etc. based merely on allegations. They don't have to wait years before the trial and appeals are concluded.

"Innocent until proven guilty" is just a legal standard that only applies in a courtroom, meaning that the state must prove guilt.

It doesn't mean the rest of the world has to do the same.

He also was Head Coach at Minnesota for 8 years and stunk - went 54-96 in conference.

I hope every LSU team has great success, but women's basketball is indeed unwatchable.

Even at the highest level, it's a tough watch.

Go get Jay Wright he said last night everyone wants to coach in the SEC now….so make him say no
I don't think Jay Wright wants any part of what the college game has become.

Isn't that why he left Villanova? Like Bennett left Virginia?

I don't blame them at all - the game has completely changed, and not for the better.
