I thought I would take a minute and look up some teams that interested me. This lead me to a number of conclusions that are about as insightful as a Gregg Doyle column so feel free to skip the thread. When it comes to having a less than stellar season, we are in good company. Others are having good seasons, but they are playing very weak schedules. Beating weak teams is better than losing to weak teams, even if the weak teams that I lose to are better than the weak teams you beat. Coming into the conference games things will change for everyone. Matt Doherty has yet to impress me as a head coach anywhere.
Was there a better way to insert this graphic than attaching it as a file?
I don’t understand how NC State is now AP 19th in the nation… but they will be exposed by George Washington (another team with an unbelivably weak schedule) this Friday in Raliegh.

We are calling out other teams for playing a weak schedule???
Excuse me…Kettle, this is the Pot…you’re black!

did he at least impress you as an evaluator of talent and recruiter? Since those top seven scorers from the championship team were “his” players, after all. I think it’s a little early to give up on him, 3-5 with a team that wans’t very good last year either and he hasn’t gotten any of his own players yet.
Louisville definitely played a weak schedule on purpose because I think Pitino knew they were going to be a little bit weaker this year without Garcia.

This is a fair question, but I think it is similar to being surprised by what a great dunker Shaq is. How can you not recruit great players at UNC-CH? How hard is it to identify the best HS players in the nation? Had he stayed longer recruiting may have become a problem, but nobody doesn’t take the phone call of the coach of that school.
He may turn FL Atlantic into a pretty good program, and I kind of hope that he does, but I haven’t seen anything yet to make me believe he has those skills. And none of the players from last year’s National Championship team, not a one, would have played for him at FL Atlantic. It was the school, not the coach, that they signed up for.
