I always find myself rooting for Pat because I think his level of honesty is really rare, especially these days. Unfortunately, he inherited some personality flaws that have really hurt him, and he didn’t inherit a shred of the coaching gene.

My youngest son is just the opposite—writes right-handed but plays sports left-handed.

My conclusion from that is that KenPom does not consider home court advantage. I could be wrong about that because I am not a subscriber, but that would be about the only way to explain the post-game movement in this case.

I was 100% serious when I predicted 12-0 in the record prediction thread for the 2025 season. And for 2026, my prediction is, once again, 12-0. Great times!

Of course, kids can be motivated by whatever they want. But to leave a coaching staff that proven they can develop players—and therefore, their future earnings potential—far better than any other coaching staff in the country, is indeed objectively foolish.

You might find out it isn’t as easy as just deciding who you want and they automatically come here.

So, from your last two posts…nobody wants to play for us, but great coaches want to coach for us…and apparently you think Dolson just hired the worst applicant of all the great coaches? I think some of you just self-soothe by pissing on the program no matter how little sense you make.

I think having the best rebounder on the team available for minutes would help with rebounding. It wouldn’t make us a good rebounding team, but it would make a glaring weakness a little less weak. How would his offense and defense translate? I don’t know. I haven’t seen him enough. But having him available would give us 5 more fouls and some rebounding once in a while.

What aren’t you sure about? Was Harris actually healthy in Puerto Rico? I mean, the stats are the stats, and everybody else’s rebounds per minute has pretty much translated.

One thing I would add that I don’t think anyone is considering or has posted…not having Josh Harris has hurt this team significantly. Yes, anyone could look at this roster and stats from last year and see that it was going to be a weak rebounding team. Josh Harris grabbed .314 rebounds per minute last season, the best of anyone on the roster. And while big men don’t usually have as much success with offensive numbers when they go from a mid-major to a power school, rebounding often translates. So, not having Harris has made a glaring weakness much worse.

In all fairness, we’re in the “Fire Darian DeVries” thread, which is not grounded in reality to begin with.
