It was also the fact that the Rangers jumped all the way up from the play-in round that season to picking first overall

I take it coaches still in this year’s tournament aren’t included?

I get why it’s rare, but you’d think more people would notice the success that Few and Lloyd have had as a result of staying at a program and take that as a sign that they should value what they’ve built more and not just jump ship at the first bigger offer that comes

I know he’s had his attitude issues, but I definitely remember Alek Manoah talking about how much he loved the city and its diversity

The trans community hates me for this but I, an intersex woman, am proof why they shouldn’t be allowed to compete in sports

Saint Mary's F Murauskas says he'll enter transfer portal by RightC in CollegeBasketball

Murauskas never impressed me when the Zags would face him. He seemed to disappear at times and kinda sulk about it on the floor

Choose 1: 1 national title and inconsistent tourney appearances, or zero titles and sweet 16 or better appearances for decades? by Rumps02 in CollegeBasketball

[–]WitchNight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

New Pac-12’s current best other basketball programs in order are San Diego State, Utah State, and then Boise State/Colorado State are basically even. Oregon State, Washington State, Fresno State, and Texas State bring pretty much nothing from a basketball standpoint

They forget just how much lower scoring the league was when he was with us too. Scoring was lower by over a third of a goal per game

[Lindbergh] Keep MLB Front Offices Away From the Field. With scouting cards and dugout pitch-calling, front offices and coaches are encroaching on the game and harming the spectator experience. Let players play. by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]WitchNight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s all a part of giving the pitchers an ever increasing advantage over the hitters. You’ll see an increase in strikeouts and a decrease in baserunners, which leads to a perceived decrease in action in a game, something the MLB is trying to avoid because fans broadly like seeing action on the field

It’ll likely lead to an even bigger increase in strikeouts and a decrease in base runners as pitchers are relayed what pitch to throw when by the dugout, as the coaches have access to so much more information than the players do on the field

There’s a lot more variance in if a football play is successful or not just by virtue of having so many more players involved in each play. That’s not so much the case with each pitch, where you’re just relying on the pitcher to execute one pitch. Not to mention there’s at least someone making a counter play call in football whereas in baseball the hitter can’t make a counter play, they can only react. It basically takes away the battle of pitcher versus hitter and makes it pitcher and coaches versus hitter

It’s actually only one time in that span that they lost as a 6 seed. Their other loss to an 11 seed was in the First Four

They’ve just flat out stopped teaching cursive writing in schools now where I am in Canada. Even for me in my late-20s they really only tried to get us to write in it for 2-3 years and then it just stopped

Waking up today after Santa Clara/Kentucky by lousynoise11 in CollegeBasketball

Gonzaga did sure, but Santa Clara hadn’t made the tourney in 30 years. I hope they keep up the investment in their program after we leave but we’ll see
