And then you would be lamenting the NCAA when they give us the death penalty in a few years. And you also bought into that bogus story about the Graduation rates I see.
NO. Especially with the NCAA's new policy on taking away scholarships for poor academic performance looming on the horizon. If he was coach the team would be losing schollies to academics hand over foot.
NCAA Graduation Rates are the most askewed statistics around. The only time the rates are referenced when some president or boosters are trying to oust a coach. The graduation rates only reflect a freshman who enters and graduates with his class. Any deviation from that counts against the rate. For instance, Shaquille O'Neal leaves for the NBA, counts against the rate. But Shaq eventually getting his degree doesn't help because he left and didn't graduate with his class. Or, if a junior college kid enrolls at LSU and graduates, doesn't help the rate, which is ludicrous. Oh, and then there's the stupidity that he's one of the wealthiest people in professional sports. Brady's rate looks bad because of the guys who have left the program. So I always call BULL $HIT when people start referring to graduation rates for reasons to get rid of someone.
College Bball Grad Rates are very inflated. Any coach can have a few 4.0 guys at the end of his bench that can bolster his classes.
(SabanFan, are you sitting down?) John Brady is a better X&O's coach than Huggins. UC basketball has been nothing more than streetball since Boozin' Bob took over. It was fun to watch Pete Gillen and Skip Prosser take lesser talent and just rip the guts out of UC teams. Huggins did everything but pay players, and that finding may come to pass. Huggins coached at least national championship team as far as the 2nd round. He was awful. I hope he lands in the SEC, like in Lexington.
They aren't too bad when you put them in context of the years before he showed up. Geeze, two postive Brown Suit comments from me in a row. It's gotta be the heat.
I'm not sure that Baton Rouge (and more specifically, LSU) is the best place for a guy who has issues with alcohol. Kinda like Kerry Collins recovering in NOLA...
