College Basketball ver Do Wedzenia Krzyzewski

Villanova's Jay Wright to retire after 21 years as HC.

Truly out of nowhere.

In the last two years we've gone from three active coaches with multiple national titles to one. And there's only one because Self just got his second.

Williams had three, K had five, and Wright had two, now all retired.
 
This past Wed Kansas announced a self-imposed 'first 4 games' suspension for head coach Bill Self and assistant coach Kurtis Townsend from the Adidas investigation that's been ongoing for 3 years. I'm wondering how they feel about that now that Lou-uh-vul has gotten a walk. Watch Kansas get the hammer dropped over the nothing burger the Cardinals received.

Nah, Florida State.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State University received notification Friday that its final appeal of the reinstatement of men’s basketball student-athlete, Baba Miller, has been denied by the NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. As a result of the denial and based on the initial terms of his reinstatement, Miller will be required to sit out 50 percent of the regular season games this season.

Prior to his recruitment by Florida State, Miller received travel to and from a training camp from his native Spain to the United States. Upon learning of relevant NCAA rules, Miller and his family immediately repaid the benefits received.

“I am very disappointed with the committee’s decision based on the facts presented,” Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford said. “The decision seems disproportionate and inconsistent in today’s modern environment. It’s unfortunate that Baba will have to endure this penalty.”

Miller will continue to practice with the team in preparation for his Seminole debut on January 11, 2023, at Wake Forest.

I have personal, petty reasons for thinking Self is an ass, so I'm fine with him getting his hand slapped by the NCAA.
 
Creighton opened the Maui Invitational with a convincing win over Texas Tech. As long as they stay healthy, they could make a deep run in March. Their starting 5 is a good as anyone's. They've come a long way in the 30 years I've been watching them in earnest.

Did Alaska not keep up with the big payouts or did teams just stop wanting to come up there?

I know part of the issue is ESPN started to make their own tournaments and promote those, but others like Atlantis started ponying up major money and now it’s the premier along with Maui. Also helps they’re in the Bahamas.

On a semi related note since they played in Maui, Louisville may he historically awful this year. They’re now 0-6, lost an exhibition to a D2 team, played a close exhibition against another D2, lost their first three games to low/mid majors by one point each, but those required big comebacks in the last ten minutes, and weren’t competitive at all in Maui. They have three power conference teams coming up so a good chance they start 0-9 before having a more “winnable” game show up.

Money was the big thing. Payouts couldn’t keep up and they couldn’t get the big teams back. Once the big teams stopped coming, attendance tanked and ESPN left.

UAA’s athletic department made a lot of mistakes in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Managing the Shootout was one of them. Small minded people who never saw the changes coming until it was too late. They should’ve handed off management to someone else like ESPN. Wouldn’t have gotten as much money but the tournament would still be around and 20% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

They brought it back as a small women’s tournament this year. Didn’t do squat for attendance though UAA won beating UC-Riverside and LaSalle. Problem is they held it the same weekend as the NCAA Volleyball Tournament and UAA was supposed to host as #1 seed but couldn’t because of said basketball tournament. PO’d the volleyball coach so much he quit on the spot and likely his staff too. Multiple conference title winning and a National Runner Up coach in exchange for a half empty arena. Typical UAA.

MSU had a similar situation in women's basketball
one of the first years they switched to the top
four seeds hosting their pod for the first two rounds. HS basketball finals had already been scheduled so they had to go down to the other MSU in Starksville where they lost a close one in the second round. After that the AD has made sure the arena is available that weekend, but the women’s team has yet to get a four seed or better since.

Scheduling conflicts are also why the Big Ten has such a screwed up format for the hockey tournament, since Wisconsin and OSU didn’t want to set aside multiple weekends for possible games.

That's their deal.... Grinnel is a small D-3 school in Iowa.

They have this weird NBA Jam style offense. It's basically a perpetual fast break. They execute 1-2 passes then shoot a three. Their possessions NEVER last beyond 10 seconds.

They're a Krazy Kristian school, right? Or am I thinking of Creighton? Or both?
