We have better coaching than Texas and NC State. I trust Altman to raise the talents of lesser known names too, this is college basketball after all, it's not who has the best one and done kids, it's who has the coaching plus player leadership.
There's enough room for two HOF coaches in the NW, Bones. Just like there's room enough for two fanatic college fan bases on S2. Altman's recruiting battles are against guys like Sean Miller, Coach K and Calupari anyway. Gonzaga almost stands apart with its own system of discovering and developing players. And I can't think of a mid major coach that is more respected than Few. Both coaches have answers their critics. All that left is to meet up in March Madness!
I just wish Few had the resources and the appeal of a high-major. Gonzaga would consistent contend. I think Gonzaga and Wichita State started a conference. Them two plus San Diego State, SMU, Creighton, Saint Mary's, BYU, Northern Iowa, New Mexico and UNLV would be a great conference that would put 5 and 6 teams into the tournament. Would be like the "Big East" is now. Call it the "Big West".
Wait what?? Gonzaga already consistently contends. Due to their WCC ass conference (literally wack) they're always in the tournament. Save last season, they then get to the tourney and get exposed almost every year.
Tingle is a good player...coach's son....they need a point guard...Thompson isn't very good..Jon Bon Jovi was the poster boy....I don't know Sambora's work....pop music fluff to me
Well. I was just making a point. I mean, Sambora is technically proficient but I guess that doesn't make him great though. I mean Alvin Lee is considered great but I find 10 Years After tiresome and boring.
They always preform well in the tournament, so they're definitely good enough to be in, so don't say it's because of their conference. The past 3 years: 2015: Close loss to Duke in Elite 8 2016: Very close loss in Sweet 16 to Syracuse 2017: Very close loss in National Championship game. They have 9 straight years with a tournament win. Don't be ignorant. Gonzaga's conference and lack of recruiting power holds them back. They are the top mid-major program in the country.
Well technically, weren't some of the first makeshift basketball hoops using old farmstyle baskets? And that would be about the last time OSU was dominant in basketball.
