Is more important than it has ever been due to the high majors taking who they want and stacking talent. Mid majors absolutely have to do things differently. We cannot roll the ball out there and do what everyone else does and expect to be different... There are few choices: 1. Our current Identity: Defensive minded with a slow methodical offense. As we all know, the last decade we have been a slow paced defensive minded basketball program. That is a niche we fell into and it works. I don't hate it. Recruit guys that WANT to play defense with length and land a guard here and there that can score it. 2. Fast paced 3 point shooting attack. Shoot thirty threes a night and tempo your opposition into tired legs. Go find the absolute best shooters you can nab at all 5 positions with little regard to size, run, play 50 ball on offense and a chaotic scramble type of defense. We have to continue to be different as different is where the success is located. So, the names that we're seeing... Are they different?

I'm 74 miles from UCI. Could be a 70 minute drive or a 4hr 39m drive. Not chancing it.

Averages homie... gone 2 years too soon.

No one has guns trained on anyone. It's Just all meh at this point... maybe the faster we lose the quicker we can get the rebuild started....we need the jump start...

Every measurable metric suggests you're incorrect. But that's cool.

When does legacy start coming into play? It's very difficult to go keep a high major job. What if he's fired after year 3 at WVU? Go have to sit on a bench in an assistant chair again rebuild personal brand in hopes of stepping stoning someone again? When is enough money, enough? Just food for thought.

I'm saying I'm not sure he's ready.

We routinely have had lesser talent than our peers during this 9 year run. We competed 100% because of the system and players buying into it. This isn't a debate.

This is a uniquely wild take. Our defensive philosophy isn't what made us successful.... just, yeesh. Wow

Urban garden, you mean.

People say we have a culture problem....we have a this problem. We have an admissions office problem. Frankly, the entire university probably needs a revamping. But the admissions is where I would start.

I literally laughed water out of my nose. This is gold.

I think he'll have to.

I mean, sure. But the point still stands. He's going up there and about to start playing some of the best programs in the country. His blitzing screens and short corner trapping while his offense begrudgingly crawls to 65 points will not work. They will have dudes dropping nuts on foreheads over the top of those screen blitzes. There is some elite athleticism in that conference.

Huss was extended 2 weeks ago with I'm sure a heavier buyout.

Yuuupp... phuck around and go .500 ball in big12 ball for a few years and he'll be a washed up, burnt out retread somewhere.

Now? Lol... good one

Yeaaahhh... destination city + top-tier education. He had tools to get them there. Also, this was by and large his most successful season, ever. No other year is remotely close. Consistency issues.

He's won 20+ 6 of 9 years with win totals the last 3 years being 28, 23, and 25..has made the NCAA Tournament by winning the conference tournament and has now won a regular season title. By the way, he inherited a dumpster fire. Yeah, I'd call this a good hire for Bradley and great continuity.

He still got juice? If so, that's a thought.

I'm not so sure about that. Though they were pretty good this year and a fun watch, he hasn't been all that consistent. I live out here and I went and watched them times this year. To put it plain and simple, they had much better players vs their peer competition. I'm not sure he's the answer.

Just the dude coaching for Bradley on TV leading into our game... he's been there the better part of a decade. And that's literally off the top of my head via recency bias.

Other places figure it out. Js

Go ahead. Let the assistants run the show.

I'll pass. There are coaches all over the country that stayed the course for the better part of a decade or more in some instances. I'd rather not play Russian roulette every couple years with our basketball program. Give me success then give me continuity. The football program whores itself out to its players as you suggest. The Jayd dude even has it pinned on his X account, "come play QB at UNT and then go get that bag" or something thereabouts. If he's doing it then the entire staff is doing that in football. Hard pass.
