No worries and I get what you're saying. I just think a second group is always kind of going to be like that. But to be fair as well, some of the names on this least are far more successful that I would have guessed they were. So while they are not the big names for the most part (except a few), I think they could be in a few years. Time will tell obviously.

I want to believe Issac, I really do. And did. However, the pace of information today is throwing up red flags and I can't explain why, but in the last hour or so, something in me feels like I have been duped. Again, hoping it's just paranoia but there is just something that I can't put my finger on right now.........

Keep in mind, its part 2 of the list, first 20 options in part 1.

I really wanted to put an option 4 of WHO? but I wanted to be able to compare this list to part 1.

Please answer the above questions.

The results are in on the Coaching Candidates Approval Rating (Part 1). Since this is the NEWS thread, I won't bog it down by analyzing the results in this thread but just put a link to the thread below. And as promised, I will release a part 2 of the that thread soon. https://btownbanners.com/topic/14831-potential-coaches-approval-rating-poll-closes-thursday-at-midnight/

Results are in: I gave 100% for a Yes vote, 50% for a Neutral vote, and 0% for a No vote. Based on this, the candidates who would bring this fan base together the most would be Brad Stevens and Dusty May (No shocker here). Micah Shrewsberry and Brad Brownell would also unite the fan base, just in anger as they were the least approved (Shrews 11%, Brownell 20%). Cronin is a close third on this list at only 25% approval rate. The most divisive candidates include: Buzz Williams, Ben McCollum, Greg McDermott, and Chris Beard all at 54%. Followed by Shaka Smart 45%, Grant McCasland 58% Candidates with a 80% of above approval rate: Mark Few 80%, TJ Otzelberger 82%, Jay Wright 82%, Bruce Pearl 82%, Nate Oats 85%, Dusty May 91%, and Brad Stevens at 96% The most neutral votes went to Ben McCollum, Dennis Gates, and Grant McCasland, all in the 60's. The most NO's went to Michah Shrewsberry at 137, which is more yes votes and all other candidates except May and Stevens. Data: Ranking: Again, this exorcise was two fold. One, to see how people were feeling about the candidates on a large scale as opposed to through the threads and to open some eyes of people on how others really view the candidates that they may be pushing. I don't think there were many real shockers in here except Shrews and Cronin. You could maybe lump Self in that category as I was a little surprise at how low his number was, but (my opinion) maybe his success of the last couple of decades was due to improper benefits that gave him (and other coaches similar) an unfair advantage in attracting talented ball players and with the NIL, that advantage has dissipated and people are coming around to that notion as well? The next biggest attention getter for me, is probably TJ Otzelberger being so high. I don't know that I even knew who he was prior the talk about a new coach but he has over 80% approval and 119 Yes/Approve votes.

The same reason that a warning labels has to be put on Hot Coffee? JK To each his own, everyone has an opinion and you know what they say about opinions. HAHA

I looked through my setting everywhere I can think to look and didn't see this as a setting anywhere? Maybe bc you're a mod?

On Goode, not if he is currently not doing arm days. Could be the reason he started off so slow (like the whole team did) until they caught up their new bodies and strengths. Not saying this as fact, just giving my personal opinion on the possible explanation. Also, maybe Archie hired a similar style S&C coach at Rhode Island?

I am in the camp that believes Marshall has a ton to do with our shooting issues. When I played in HS our coaches warned us that significant weight lifting would affect our shooting and we would need to put in twice the shooting work to maintain. Also, it was heavily discourage during season. Anytime you mess with the shooting motion ratio (including visual, muscle memory and strength) that its is going to affect your percentage/ability until your brain retrains itself and gets the ratio back in sync. Now, that could be all BS, but I do know I shot worse immediately after nearly every single time, so I believe it from first hand experience.

Except he hates the NIL stuff. Have to have a GM that embraces it I would think.

Last day for you to answer the poll questions.

C’mon guys, stick to the schedule.

Once Woodson leaves his office with all of his stuff.

I wish and believe the portal shouldn't be allowed to open before the National Championship game.

Yes, if MSU was a better 3pt shooting team, they would have won by 20+. We have shown all season we can’t guard the 30th line and the zone only magnifies that if the other team can hit a decent percent.

2 days to go to get your poll replies in.

I can’t tell with the vagueness, was it for the good or negative?

141 responses so far. I appreciate everyone taking a few minutes to do this. It has been refreshing to see it this way as opposed to the back and forth talk.

Everyone, we have several days/weeks left until anything gets closer to a resolution I think. To get us through, maybe we need a schedule. That way some people can actually get our work done and only visit during their preferred times. Sorry Chris, you are still required to refresh every 5 minutes to answer questions that you already answered 5 pages back for the 5th time because no one wants to go back and read the 20 pages that just posted in the last hour.
