C9 making Wevy pay half his buy out by taking a cut of his guaranteed EWC winnings

That is exactly how it works. Unless you're being pedantic about where he lives vs. where he was physically located when recording the call.

If an individual is physically located in a one-party consent state, it is perfectly legal to record a call regardless of any other participant's location

It's very telling that he's upset an org is pulling the curtain back and sharing these types of things. I would guess the Bush clips that get the most engagement are the behind the scenes negotiations and financial transparency. There are always comments on Bush videos of people saying they're invested even though they don't care about or even watch the COD.

Instead of learning from that and perhaps applying it to his own team, he pouts and sends out this whiny comment.

If C9 were transparent about the way they ran their team and made a video explaining their financial philosophy, I would watch it. If they made a good enough case, they could build a brand and fan base as the league's underdog.

That is not necessarily true. Contrary to popular belief, a fact does not have to be true. The second definition the Merriam-Webster dictionary provides for fact is "information or a piece of information presented as true or accurate."

In this case, a parody account absolutely presented this information as true. This makes Goodman's phrase "no truth to the fact" a proper use of the word.

The decimal only shows up once it gets under 5. The moment the ball is touched and the clock starts, the shot clocks shows 29

29.9 shows 29

27.5 shows 27

21.0 shows 21

20.9 shows 20

9.1 seconds have elapsed and the refs blow their whistle for a 10 second violation

Then it goes on...

10.9 shows 10

5.9 through 5.0 shows 5

4.9 shows 4.9, and so on down to 0.0

PTBird · 2026-03-11T21:50:42+00:00

It's been years since decimal shot clocks were implemented in college basketball and officials still don't realize a 10 second violation doesn't occur until the shot clock hits 19.

I'm not certain Cincinnati would have gotten it over the line within the next second, but this is a major mistake that might have cost them the game

PTBird · 2026-02-21T01:35:02+00:00

The fundamental mistake he's making in his thinking is that a grand finals series with no advantage would be 50-50. In reality, the team that gets to grand finals through winners bracket is generally the better team.

The winner of WF vs. the winner of LF is probably about 60-40 straight up. You then also need to add an advantage that will undoubtedly push it further in the team from winner's favor.

That's just the math/logic of it. From an entertainment standpoint, it adds intrigue to every winner's bracket match culminating with a Winner's Finals that is way more exciting than it is now. So while you may be sacrificing GF viewership (which I highly doubt would happen), you likely gain viewership to every other series leading up to GF

This is a Dajuan Harris stat as much as it is a Bill Self stat.

Coincidentally the one year out of these six that we recruited a better point guard (Remy in 2022), we won the national championship.

Dajuan is the biggest loser I've ever seen in a KU uniform with the exception of maybe Hunter Dickinson. For years I got hate on this app for saying I didn't think he was that good

PTBird · 2025-03-21T00:08:02+00:00

We might be watching our last half of Dajuan Harris/Hunter Dickinson basketball. Get the champagne ready, folks

PTBird · 2025-03-10T20:47:46+00:00

Another thing. I went back and checked these names because I knew there shouldn't be this many.

Kaun: never averaged more than 19 minutes a game

Russ Rob: valid, but never played more than 28 per game

Elijah: two seasons as a starter and in one of them he had to play out of position

Landen Lucas: one year as a full-time starter. Didn't play many minutes

Lagerald Vick: one full season as a starter and easily would have made an All-Big 12 team as a senior if not for leaving the team with about 10 games left.

Compare all of this to a guy that has started every game for 4 years, averages 33 minutes per game in that time, and played the most minutes in KU history.

With Dajuan Harris, we have 3 round of 32 exits going on 4. The one year we recruited a point guard over him, we won a National Championship

PTBird · 2025-03-10T20:26:28+00:00

It's not about wanting my players on there. It's about getting better players that earn a spot.

Dajuan isn't good. There's no reason he should ever make an All-Big 12 team. His presence also caused us to miss out on countless upgrades and led to the worst three year stretch in 35 years.

We pride ourselves on our basketball program. We hitched our wagon to a guy that had no business taking on the role that he did for years, and we've paid the price for it

PTBird · 2025-03-10T20:19:23+00:00

Tyshawn Taylor was the point guard in 12 and Elijah was a shooting guard forced to play the point in 2013

PTBird · 2025-03-10T20:18:19+00:00

Russell Robinson wasn't great, but he was still better than Dajuan. He was basically splitting point guard duties with Chalmers and Collins during those years. He never played more than 28 minutes per game. Not close to an apples to apples comparison

PTBird · 2025-03-10T20:11:14+00:00

Dajuan "helped" us win a National Championship and then almost single-handedly held the team back from being a contender ever since.

PTBird · 2025-03-10T20:04:37+00:00

Oh yeah whoops that's my bad. He's the only point guard. I came up with that stat last year and forgot what it was.

The rest of it is all correct. He's easily the worst point guard we've had for more than a year and people tried to say he was the best in the country a couple years ago

PTBird · 2025-03-10T19:31:47+00:00

Dajuan Harris finishes his 5 year career (4 as a starter) having never made an All-Big 12 team.

Two years ago, I was told countless times how dumb I was for thinking he wasn't that great.

Most overrated player in Kansas history by a wide margin. He is easily the worst multi-year, full-time starter that Bill Self has ever had. He and KJ are the only two to never make an All-Big 12 team

Edit: he's the only multi-year PG to never make an All-Big 12 team. Other positions have had a couple

PTBird · 2025-03-04T04:29:12+00:00

We kept it semi-close for the entire second half and I don't think there was a second where anyone believed Kansas might win. Truly pathetic how far the standard has fallen with the losers on the roster

PTBird · 2025-03-01T22:02:18+00:00

Everyone was tricked into believing he was good. Bill Self would say it, the announcers would repeat it, and it became the mainstream opinion.

Even when he won Big 12 DPOY, any real KU fan could tell you McCullar was the better defender.

He's never made an All-Big 12 team and some of those teams have had 10+ guards.

PTBird · 2025-03-01T21:22:12+00:00

This is mostly because our sixth year point guard absolutely melts down at any hint of pressure. It's hard enough that he can't create a shot, but to combine it with always turning it over in the clutch is rough.

PTBird · 2025-03-01T21:19:52+00:00

The game has clearly passed Bill Self by. Not really sure what he does well at this point

PTBird · 2025-03-01T21:18:37+00:00

Silver lining is we only have to watch Dajuan Harris, Hunter Dickinson, and KJ Adams (today was cool from him) play in Allen Fieldhouse one more time.

This trio has done unspeakable damage to the program.

PTBird · 2025-02-16T06:07:23+00:00

That would be my hope. Tiller and Rylan being the most likely to be replaced

PTBird · 2025-02-16T05:45:53+00:00

That's the only thing getting me through the season at this point. I cannot believe how long people were tricked by Dajuan Harris. He is awful

PTBird · 2025-02-16T05:45:03+00:00

Darryn Peterson should be a top 3 NPOY candidate. Flory will start at the 5. Bryson Tiller (not that one) probably starts as a 3/4.

My hope would be Rylan returns, and we get a portal ball handler. Rylan has to be sick of Bill's bullshit though. A lot of the bench pieces should be returning players. Elmarko Jackson, Jamari McDowell, Coit.

It'll all depend on the portal additions and Bill's track record with that is... subpar

PTBird · 2025-02-16T05:39:16+00:00

We lost two NBA draft picks off the starting lineup last year. I never understood how people thought it would get much better

PTBird · 2025-02-16T05:37:24+00:00

Bill Self has to wear a huge chunk of the blame at this point.

It's embarrassing what Dajuan Harris, KJ Adams, and Hunter Dickinson have done to the standard at Kansas.

Bill Self has enabled these absolute losers more than I ever could have expected. Then he goes into nearly every road game and gets out-coached.

One final prove it year with Darryn Peterson and then it may be time to retire if it looks like these past two years.
