Carm, has Siena atop the league, the reason ML remains without a job is that he's too toxic to ever touch, his career is over, the abusive behavior at GW ended a promising career.
For Carm, his own is just getting going, wish him well, two excellent years in the books, and again props to JC for helping get the turnaround started in 2019
Another unprovoked shot at Lonergan. Follows the pattern of repeating the same nonsensical points over and over and over again. Lonergan, Crean, Shaka, Carm, Jorgensen not good enough (transferred to Butler and now plays professionally), Roland not good enough (transferred to Northeastern where he nearly led the country in scoring, and now plays professionally, scoring 35 points in leading his to team to their first win over a rival team since 1999), etc. Or, making the same obvious points over and over again. (EVERY single person here knows that Mark Few is a great coach, and that Rutgers has improved considerably.)
It's all the work of a troll. He has been reminded that continued unprovoked shots at Lonergan would result in a suspension yet he continues down this path.
FQ, it's a bit comical that you appear to be falling for this crap. OK, Crean was 71-91 in conference. The team was on probation his first three seasons for violations committed under Kelvin Sampson. Should Crean really be held accountable for that mess? Remove those first three years from his record and Crean was 63-45 in conference play at Indiana. And, if you're not so quick to remove those first three years from Crean's record, here is what your boy just wrote about Brad Underwood at Illinois:
"Like many turnarounds, lost his first 2 years, took 4 full seasons to really turn the thing around, lost 21 games in Year 2."
So why is Underwood a great coach despite his rocky start at Illinois but Crean is a lousy one when his worst years at Indiana took place while the school was on probation?
Because The Dude does not think twice about contradicting himself. He likely does not even realize that he's doing it. He's the gambler who plays 40 parlays at the same time, wins 1 while losing money overall, and then can't shut up about that 1 parlay he won.
The Dude has been a troll from the first day he arrived on the other board. His repetitiveness, contradictions, laziness ("anyone got a line on the game? Really? Do you have no idea how to look up a point spread on the internet? Google "How to find point spreads on the internet" and you'll be amazed at what comes up), and often absurd takes are to be expected. On the other hand, it is surprising to see FQ, a well-respected poster, seemingly backing up what The Dude has to say. As it is said, that's what makes horse races.
