Does that include Bob Knight?
I'd venture that what Knight ran at IU was a motion with a purpose, as opposed to just running motion and hoping that something happens, while your outside three players weave back and forth with perimeter passing.

Tech keeps playing into trouble

not a foul.

This is what you get when you run motion offense without any real ball handlers. We had a few last year and none this year.
An old-time Big East coach told me once that coaches run motion when they don't have an idea what to run.

i hope Tech clobbers them

Yes putting the ball in the hoop is not our specialty. Which seems kind of bad in basketball.
i'm trying to figure out what they are trying to run. the offensive rebounding has been decent

enough with the stupid dance angle

Tech seems kind of shitty.

Going to try not posting reverse jinxes in the thread tonight. We're favored in Norman by 2.5. If I was a neutral observer, I'd take ISU to cover. But this feels like the spot where we typically shit a chance to keep pace in the league down our leg. OU 75 ISU 74.
Tech is going to fist fuck WVU. That's an easy cover. Tech's offensive issues notwithstanding, WVU just has absolutely zero guard play/ability to handle pressure even in half court sets. Tech will eat them for breakfast.
I don't agree with you about what will happen in this game tonight. I hope I am wrong.

Shut up WVU. Talking about how classless it was that Tech was dancing in their locker room after beating WVU earlier in the season. Don't want them to dance, don't lose.

As the University of Arizona basketball program slogs through a difficult season on the court, the school appears to soon be facing uncomfortable questions on the future of embattled coach Sean Miller. Sources told Yahoo Sports that Arizona is one of the schools tied to the federal basketball scandal where a formal NCAA inquiry has begun.
While Arizona has the country’s No. 1 recruiting class for next season, there’s a series of looming issues both with the federal probe and the ongoing NCAA investigation into the school that complicate Miller’s future there.
The issues begin with the upcoming trial of Christian Dawkins, the former agency employee who claimed deep ties to the Arizona program. There’s also potential NCAA fallout from the recent felony plea in federal court by former Arizona assistant coach Emanuel “Book” Richardson, which amplifies the question of how the NCAA will handle Miller’s responsibility for the actions in his program.
While there’s nearly a dozen schools expected to face some degree of NCAA scrutiny in the wake of the federal basketball investigation, Miller and Arizona are dealing with a confluence of complications that cast a shroud over Miller’s future there.
The thorniest of those issues appears to be the upcoming trial of Dawkins, which is scheduled for April. Dawkins is a former low-level runner for once-powerful NBA agent Andy Miller. Dawkins has already been found guilty in the first federal basketball corruption trial.
Dawkins’ lawyer, Steve Haney, told Yahoo Sports that his client has little desire to follow the path of the three assistant coaches, including Richardson, who’ve recently entered a plea deal. “We have no intention of pleading,” Haney told Yahoo Sports. “And we believe, factually, the indictment is incorrect and we intend to prove it at trial.”
There’s a strong expectation that Miller will be subpoenaed to appear at the trial, potentially within the next month. He could be one of many coaches, as all the coaches who were captured on wiretap with Dawkins are at risk of a subpoena. Part of the defense’s theory is expected to be based on showing Dawkins wasn’t bribing coaches. “My obligation here is to defend my client,” Haney said in a phone interview, “not protect coaches who violated NCAA rules.”
Haney has already taken Dawkins to trial once, back in October at the first of the three trials tied to the corruption investigation. Another appearance is expected because Dawkins was already found guilty of multiple felonies at that October trial, and he faces likely jail time. That makes him pleading out less likely in this trial.

My God, who would possibly take him as a transfer?

https://nypost.com/2019/02/03/rising-espn-star-adnan-virk-fired-escorted-out-in-leak-investigation/
ESPN rising star Adnan Virk has been fired by the network, sources told The Post.
Virk is accused of leaking confidential company information to the media on multiple occasions, according to sources.
When ESPN investigated the allegations, it felt that Virk failed to fully cooperate.
He recently signed a new multi-year contract.
“Adnan Virk no longer works at ESPN,” ESPN vice president Josh Krulewitz told The Post.
Virk could not immediately be reached for comment. CAA, Virk’s agency, declined comment.
On Friday, Virk was escorted off the Bristol campus. The specific nature of the information Virk chose to share is unknown at this time.

Imagine them with modern nutrition, strength and conditioning, and bats that weren’t 3 feet long and 40+ ounces.
That's how I have always looked at things. It's like that in every sport. Imagine tennis players from the 1970s using rackets from today. Or Jim Brown with health and training like today. Or Ali with physical and nutritional changes, etc. Yeah, athletes from back then, stuck back then, could not compete today, but with up to date training I think a lot could, especially the great ones.
