Averaging more than 10 losses per year for the last 7 years? The longest stretch in program history in the history of tournament seeding without a 1 seed? Which has also coincided with a 7 year Final Four drought? No tournament wins in 3 years? The Shaedon Sharpe debacle? Those issues, maybe?
That average is due to the one bad season lol, you people are completely insane. The reason for the final four drought is because the refs gave that game to UNC. This talk is insane. Let's have Dillingham, Edwards, and Bradshaw decommit and hire a mediocre coach, that will save the program 😅😄

I like Thiero a lot and I think he’s great and he should play alot. But on a team this deep somebody has to play the least amount of minutes. Who should he take the minutes from? And I’m not being smart at all. Just discussing

Has Livingston outplayed him? I don’t think so. Could he be more productive than Reeves if given the same minutes and green light to shoot? We may never know.

The depth of this team shouldn’t simply lead us to ask: Where will Thiero find minutes? You could equally say, given Thiero’s clear propensity to help the team win - where will Livingston find minutes?

Can Thiero do this against decent competition, guys who are better athletes than him? If so, how was he not more highly recruited? He is an interesting player no doubt. Based on his bio, it sounds like he dominated PA in high school.

Apparently he didn’t play AAU ball.

He has an NBA body. He has NBA athleticism. He hits the open shot. Makes the right pass. Plays solid defense. Rebounds. Attacks the paint. Has solid handles. Dude has literally played mistake free basketball and done so while being aggressive.

If it takes him three years to make it to the league, it will have more to do with opportunity than with talent.

No active coach has more NCAA Championships during that time. Only Few, and maybe Self, would have fewer 10 loss seasons, as if that is some huge statistic. Let's do overall winning percentage: 365-101 (78.3%), definitely top 5, even if you include guys who aren't coaching anymore.
No "active coach..." Weak sauce.

Now do ANY coach in that span.
