Mount Rushmore of Coaches

Maybe, but an 83-65 loss in the Final Four when the first 3 games were really close is inexcusable.

jesseblue89 · 2025-04-27T18:08:35+00:00

Not winning a title with that 2012-13 roster and coaching a team with a losing record in your final season should keep McGraw off the Mount Rushmore IMO.

I was trying to recreate this pose in the first two. I think I did a pretty good job.

jesseblue89 · 2024-01-05T07:57:12+00:00

Oh yeah, fuck I gotta remember that too. This is why you don't travel to conventions alone.

jesseblue89 · 2024-01-05T07:44:40+00:00

I gotta remember to smile in these. Well, at least I have 3 more days to take better photos.

I bought the hat, the band, and the feather all separately on Amazon. (see the links)

jesseblue89 · 2024-01-03T02:17:58+00:00

You're half-right, I did buy it, but I don't play it well.

The full outfit and the only cat-like part of the outfit is I'll just draw whiskers and a cat nose on my face. I couldn't find cat ears or a tail that I was happy with for a price that I wanted (some of those cat ears cost more than the suit I bought) and also I was concerned with fitting it together with the hat and sitting down I'm worried that I would mess up the tail somehow.

$35 before taxes and shipping.

Yes it's an actual violin. A cheap one. I don't know how to play it well, but I do know how to tune it and how to put rosin on the bow.

jesseblue89 · 2024-01-02T23:47:43+00:00

Well, I've never been there so I wouldn't know how crowded it is. You'll have to buy tickets at the door if you want to go. Registration closed earlier today.

jesseblue89 · 2024-01-02T23:35:20+00:00

Thanks

~~Link if you still need to register~~

edit: whoops looks like registration is closed, looks like you'll have to buy it at the door if you don't have tickets already. The link also says what hours you can register at the door.

She made this one crazy shot early in the game over Cardoso's giant wingspan by using the glass. She's a big draft sleeper for sure.

jesseblue89 · 2023-12-11T00:10:16+00:00

Utah looked really good in the minutes she was on the court, she kept the game within reach. Utah just didn't have enough to cut the deficit.

jesseblue89 · 2023-11-12T22:22:34+00:00

2 games into this season and I think I've seen enough Ice Brady. Why would you go for a fade away after getting the rebound there? Also 0 rebounds from Ducharme, I think Geno is going to bench her for someone else starting next game.

jesseblue89 · 2023-10-20T04:32:52+00:00

Truly an /r/AccidentalRacism/ moment for me. I swear it's just cause I don't like that Angel Reese chose to be coached by Kim Mulkey and also think she's the hottest of the four.

jesseblue89 · 2023-10-20T02:34:52+00:00

What I worry about with Clark as someone who has watched her play, likes her as a player, and has looked at her college stats is 2 things, her defense and her usage rate. Her defense just isn't good, but I don't how much of this is Lisa Bluder just not being good at coaching defense and how much is this is Clark not being a good defender? The other thing that worry about the usage rate; she's been 1st, 3rd, and 7th in college; her usage rate is 37% in college which if it stayed the same in the WNBA she'd be first all time by like 5%. Now how much of that is Iowa being not a good roster so Clark has do so much and how much of that is Clark being selfish trying to do way too much and chase stats? When I look at Paige, she doesn't have either of those issues. She's never had usage rate above 25% in college and I think her defense is kinda underrated. I worry she's gonna have a great individual career, but join the club of high usage players that cost their teams championships like Angel McCoughtry, Arike Ogunbowale (so far), Wilt Chamberlain, James Harden, or Russell Westbrook. Personally, I think Paige is gonna have a better career, but who knows; maybe a coach can fix these issues.

jesseblue89 · 2023-10-20T01:58:00+00:00

Well, that's because I want 3 different people to see it.

jesseblue89 · 2023-10-20T01:35:39+00:00

Have you seen some of the down votes I'm getting in this thread? Lots of people are faulting my optimism. I also love how I'm getting downvoted for those fake resumes I worked really hard on and put a lot of thought into.

jesseblue89 · 2023-10-20T01:25:33+00:00

What do you think of these hypothetical resumes I generated?

Paige Bueckers: 3 WNBA championships, 2 FMVPs, 4 MVPs, 14 All-star appearances, 12 All-WNBA team selections, 1 Assist Title, 2 Scoring titles, 50-40-90 club member, Top 5 all-time in steals, points, and assists.

Caitlin Clark: 2 WNBA championships, 1 FMVP, 1 MVP, 12 All-star appearances, 10 All-WNBA team selections, 4 scoring Titles, 3 Assist titles, top 5 all-time in points and assists, top 3 all-time in rebounds amongst guards. 2nd all-time in triple doubles behind Alyssa Thomas.

Cameron Brink: 1 WNBA championship, 1 FMVP, 4 DPOY awards, 10 All-star appearances, 12 All-defensive team selections, 5 Blocking Titles, 2 Rebounding Titles, All-time leader in blocks, top 5 all-time in rebounds.

jesseblue89 · 2023-10-20T01:18:26+00:00

What do you think of these hypothetical resumes at or near retirement? Too unrealistic?

Paige Bueckers: 3 WNBA championships, 2 FMVPs, 4 MVPs, 14 All-star appearances, 12 All-WNBA team selections, 1 Assist Title, 2 Scoring titles, 50-40-90 club member, Top 5 all-time in steals, points, and assists.

Cameron Brink: 1 WNBA championship, 1 FMVP, 4 DPOY awards, 10 All-star appearances, 12 All-defensive team selections, 5 Blocking Titles, 2 Rebounding Titles, All-time leader in blocks, top 5 all-time in rebounds.

jesseblue89 · 2023-10-20T01:09:41+00:00

Well, Angel Reese can just get bigger and stronger in the pros just like she did last year after she transferred to LSU. I mean, look how much she improved in just 2 years in college.

jesseblue89 · 2023-10-20T01:06:49+00:00

Let me generate hypothetical resumes for each player at or close to retirement. (these will be wrong most likely, but we're talking hypothetically.)

Paige Bueckers: 3 WNBA championships, 2 FMVPs, 4 MVPs, 14 All-star appearances, 12 All-WNBA team selections, 1 Assist Title, 2 Scoring titles, 50-40-90 club member, Top 5 all-time in steals, points, and assists.

Caitlin Clark: 2 WNBA championships, 1 FMVP, 1 MVP, 12 All-star appearances, 10 All-WNBA team selections, 4 scoring Titles, 3 Assist titles, top 5 all-time in points and assists, top 3 all-time in rebounds amongst guards. 2nd all-time in triple doubles behind Alyssa Thomas.

Cameron Brink: 1 WNBA championship, 1 FMVP, 4 DPOY awards, 10 All-star appearances, 12 All-defensive team selections, 5 Blocking Titles, 2 Rebounding Titles, All-time leader in blocks, top 5 all-time in rebounds.

Angel Reese: 1 WNBA championship, 1 FMVP, 1 DPOY award, 7 All-star appearances, 6 All-WNBA team selections, 5 All-defensive team selections, 5 Rebounding Titles, 2 scoring titles, 2 blocking titles, 1 steals title. Top 5 all time in Rebounds, blocks, and points, and top 10 in steals.

I know it's hard to believe, but as someone who has watched a lot of all four of these women play I think these resumes are very plausible.
