Do you not see how you lose credibilty with a comment like that. First, we do not want to be like āmost teamsā. Considering there are 300+ teams in our division, āmost teamsā would mean your ranked 150 or higher. Second, please do not use the NIT as a measuring stick for success. If anything, the fact that we did not make the NIT, while UAB and NT did, is a knock against Ron. Third, while we finished 5th in conference, we had a losing record. Fourth, prior to the post season tourneys our RPI was 146. Just look at some of the top 50 RPI teams and tell me shouldnāt be competing against them.

RPI hasnāt been used by the NCAA since I believe 2018 since being replaced by the NET ranking. Frankly whenever someone uses that in an argument makes me wonder if they actually follow college basketball or they just google a stat to fit their argument.

NET is stupid. We went like 2-7 in January & our ranking barely changed. The fact that the NCAA uses NET makes me think they donāt watch basketball.
Not like the RPI wasnāt Beverly flawed as well as it took into less account metrics than the NET. That and you can find different sites with different RPI rankings for every team. Fact is what the NCAA uses is what matters not something they ditched.
By the way went from 76 in NET on Jan 4th to 96 on Jan 31st.
Net RPi or whatever metric you want to use in a the same. We werenāt good enough to be considered good. Just varying degrees of bad.
Thatās not a very big drop for the record we had in January. I think NET, RPI & alll of that style rankings are kind of useless until it gets down to seeding teams for the tournament. Something we donāt have to worry about. We should judge success based on what we do in our conference against schools that are supposed to be our peers. We had a losing record.
If my memory serves me correctly the RPI didnāt change drastically either. Although I totally agree they are all pretty useless to a degree.
My point was more about grading on what is actually being used by the NCAA if your going to use any of them to begin with.
Thereās some truth to your point about 2018. Since our Rpi/net ranking has been in the +150 for a decade, I donāt follow it that closely.
But for the proposes of my post, it appeared to me the rankings on NCAA.com were after post season, 4/3. I found a pre tourney Rpi ranking from 3/12 more easily.
Lastly. Iām fine if you want to use Net instead. It doesnāt change my point about looking at the top 50 teams and thinking we should be competing with them.
Not just flawed but ā Beverly flawedā. Man that has to be bad.
Sorry made me laugh especially if you watch the āGoldbergsā.
Itās never gonna happen 
Charlotte is a sleeping giant. Great arena. Great recruiting area. Solid conference. They just need to bring in a coach whose on court product wonāt lose viewers to the paint drying competition going on down the street.
Itās crazy thinking back to the awesome environment at Halton around the turn of the century vs the yawn fest that itās been recently. Maybe the biggest drop off in college basketball during that time.
Iāve never seen a coach so willing to call out players on a post-game interview and throw them under the bus. He basically never held himself accountable or put a loss on himself. Then he was completely full of platitudes and coach jargon but wouldnāt set observable metrics to be held accountable. The absolute worst kind of "leader. "
Glad UVA is happy to have him back. In my 21 years of being a Niner Iāve never been so glad to see a coach in any sport leave.
Is Clt suddenly speaking in first person or did he forget how to use quotation marks?

I believe Mr. Price would throw players under the bus and then get in a drive it !

Fire Sanchez. There, I feel better
I had been waiting so long for him to be firedā¦but him quitting is so much better.
Itās Ron being a quitter first and foremost (proves his āpillarsā talk was all bullsh!t)
Itās Ron understanding what we all could seeā¦that he could never win at a respectable level and knew his firing was inevitable
Itās Ron giving up on Ron before Mike was willing tooā¦as if to say even Ron knew better than Mike about his ability
Ron paid us for him to leaveā¦which is the best part of all!!
