"And I don't think in-game coaching is more or less important in the tournament than in the regular season"
Coaching becomes huge from a preparation standpoint on a short turnaround. Thats why 2nd round and 4th round of the NCAA's is crucial to me. 1st and 3rd rounds you get 4-5 days to prepare and get ready

"So how in the hell can you say that we won't have a Sweet 16 five years from now"
You can't. We have to sit back and hope for the best. Coach Bury got some great luck with Bailey getting hurt and pulled off a big SEC Tourney championship.
We may be well on our way to his 1st Sweet 16.
But, as we near the end of season 11, its not that far-fetched to think there's a good chance we wont have a Sweet 16 by season 16 either. And if we don't, does that ever become a priority?

And while I didn't really agree with it, I didn't totally disagree with it either. I coulda been swayed either way.
My thing is that if someone just spent a few months hanging his hat on that very point only to have it blow up on him, it would be pretty stupid for that same person to then just move to the next possible benchmark and say "when we're sitting here in five years without a Sweet 16."
At some point, somewhere down the line, just stop trying so damn hard to be that guy.

You are so full of **** you have methane coming out your ears. Now its Elgin's injury that won us the SEC tourney and not Stansbury's coaching. In case you did not notice, Kodi and Elgin were both getting alot of minutes against Florida after the Auburn meltdown. Its not like Rick said "oh **** Elgin's hurt, get Kodi in there". That is your revisionist history at work again. And did you ever just once stop to think that maybe, just maybe, Stansbury's handling of Kodi might have something to do with why Augustus is playing better now? That maybe not allowing Kodi is fart off in practice might have led him to play harder?
You pulled this same type crap with Stansbury getting L. Roberts. Like he just fell from the sky and we lucked out. I am sure you anxiously await our exit from the NCAA tournament so you can concoct some other argument about Stansbury in your continuously shifting perception of reality.
Oh and to get back to you about that "zero chance" comment of yours. You clearly stated for everyone on here to see that we had no shot at winning in Tampa. You can't crawfish and say we only won because Kodi played in Tampa because he played just as much in the Ole Miss and Florida games prior to the SEC tournament when you made your ill fated prediction.
Why can't you just say it: Stansbury outcoached Andy Kennedy, Billy Donovan , Bruce Pearl, Darrin Horn, and Trent Johnson to end the season.
I have no idea why the F%$# I keep responding to your one trick pony self.

"Now its Elgin's injury that won us the SEC tourney and not Stansbury's coaching. In case you did not notice, Kodi and Elgin were both getting alot of minutes against Florida"
Kodi played 4 minutes in the two games before Fla, both very bad losses
Once he started playing more, we got better as a team. Myself, Fishwater, and a few others have been saying this for weeks. You cant deny that.
Kodi scores 20 on Georgia
Kodi helped provide a better match-up on Mitchell from LSU that Coach Bury refused to use the first two games.
With Kodi playing more minutes, the subs actually built a bigger lead on teams.
You were wrong. And had Coach Bury had Bailey available, Kodi would not have gotten those minutes and you know it. And if Kodi doesnt get those minutes, and Bailey does- we dont win the title.

There is an easy way to solve this. Delete every post that he doesn't use either Rick or StansburyHD6 said:
You are just blatantly ignoring the fact that you said we had zero chance on the eve of the SEC tournament AFTER Elgin's injury and AFTER the Ole Miss and Florida games where Kodi was already playing. Everybody on this freaking board saw it. Damn you are worse than Bill Clinton at weasling your way out of stuff.
Furthermore, it was clear after the Auburn game that Stansbury had decided to give everyone a chance to play after such a lackluster effort by the starters. Kodi played alot of minutes in the Florida game BEFORE Elgin went down. Everyone on the bench started getting more minutes after the Auburn debacle. I freely admit that Kodi has played better lately and has been a big boost but you are acting like he has come in and given us 20 and 10 every night and led us to an SEC title. Brian Johnson, Twany Beckham, and even Romero Osby have given us big lifts at times also which just shows that it has more to do with Stansbury giving them more minutes and not because of Elgin's injury.

It is amazing that we are playing in the tournament that you said we would not play in because we won the conference tournament that you said we had zero chance of winning, and yet you are still on here bitching and finding any way possible to discredit everything Stansbury does. I understand that yuo do a lot of this to just get a rise out of people, but does it never get old sounding like an idiot and constantly back peddling?Coach34 said:
that as completely and totally idiotic as you have been made to look in the past 7 days, you would not spew ******** like this for awhile.
Then again, it becomes apparent why you're a 40 year old, divorced, adult diaper salesman.

This quote might have something to do with that as well: "Thats why 2nd round and 4th round of the NCAA's is crucial to me." I like March Madness as much as the next guy, but seriously, crucial?
Bob Huggins also backed that up today saying that it is the coaches job all year to get them playing good at the end of the season and get in the tornament. Once the tournament comes they can't fundamentally change anything they do.
Coaches don't call timeouts or sets any different than they do in the season and conf. tournaments. Its up to the players to be ready for what they need to do. When Xavier beat us it wasn't their coach that beat us it was that their players could have drained threes from Russia.

Gameplanning 4 teams in 4 days.
And before you say we had already played those teams, might I remind you that we were 0-3 against the 2 teams we beat in the Semis and the Championship game. So obviously, Stansbury had to develop a different plan for those teams. And we beat them both in a 24 hour span.
Just keep talking. It's fun watching you look dumber and dumber.

I'm telling you, just delete any post of his where Stansbury is called anything but Rick or Stansbury. It will stop it all real quick. And do the same with OEMDawg and his ridiculous "Stains"HD6 said:
The fact that you say this is the reason that it was correct to ban you in the first place. Do it again HD. The only thing funnier than him being banned was him literally begging to come back.
you bring up some valid points sometimes but kodi is not a major factor in us winning the tournament last week...
