IMO, Billups isn't going to greatly impact the core direction of the franchise long-term (good or bad), so this move doesn't bother me much. The...
The question is: Are you more concerned about reducing the odds of losing in regulation or increase the odds of winning? Allowing a 3pt attempt...
Incorrect. You said the team fouling, would then be in a "we must make these FT" situation. This is factually incorrect. Let me give an example....
But there isn't a "we must make these FT" situation when you're up 3. If anything, the team down 3 is in the "we must make these FT's" scenario....
Correct. But you shouldn't dismiss the strategy as being optimal because you could lose in regulation (vs OT). There is a greater chance of the game...

Why would Malone want to come here?
The first proper tank of the season.

I'd think he's got a better chance to be on another NCAA team next year than an NBA team. And that would be telling about Oregon's NIL.
Correct. All back to my original point that comparing football to basketball is nearly meaningless as they are supported and prioritized at a much...
Uh sir, the Oregon baseball team won a game 35-1 this weekend.
The investment between football and basketball isn't even remotely comparable. The odds are much greater the next basketball coach at Oregon will...
