I haven't checked out yet... MSU has made it interesting at least.

Ten left on the shot clock and you reach... moron Harris, c'mon man

What is that stat? I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that John Wooden had a few better six-year spans.

Lathum · 03-29-2013, 11:12 PM

They give teams too many time outs
Makes end of games hard to watch.

mauchow · 03-29-2013, 11:14 PM

Yeah, I think if you just give teams 3 time outs per half you would usually end up with two at the end rather than at least three most times.

Or two per half with one carry-over.

I don't think the team has an alpha dog. Harris will likely be it next year, but it didn't help them now.

Matthean · 03-29-2013, 11:21 PM

I check my FB and see State fans already complaining about the refs. Yep, that sounds about right.

Sorry...wasn't percentage. Wiki lists is as the best six year record of any coach in D1 hoops history...I'm assuming they mean wins?

A look at the numbers for Kansas Jayhawks coach Bill Self - men's college basketball - ESPN

Yep, it was most wins over a 6 year span.

Desnudo · 03-29-2013, 11:38 PM

Where does Florida find these douche bags?

If that's the standard it looks like Wooden only had 175, though the 175-5 record and 6 titles looks a little more impressive that Self's run.

Matthean · 03-29-2013, 11:42 PM

13 points in the final 1:16 of regulation and the first 1:37 of overtime.

Young Drachma · 03-29-2013, 11:44 PM

FGCU still showed up, even as they fall short.

Julio Riddols · 03-30-2013, 12:16 AM

FGCU is gonna have a hard time getting good teams to schedule them going forward.

Are they? It's not like college football where one loss in the non conference games can put you out of contention, playing a decent slate of opponents actually helps teams.

UCLA hires Steve Alford

Agreed. UCLA fans are rather unimpressed at the moment. I'll have more to comment on later when I'm not posting from my phone, about this hire and about how UCLA's awful AD handled the search and the PR for it.

Until then, I would love to hear opinions from tarcone, Kodos, Johnny and any other Iowa, Indiana, and B1G fans on Alford and his abilities as a coach, and also on why he failed at Iowa.

Arles · 03-30-2013, 12:29 PM

Selfishly, I'm a little worried about recruit Aaron Gordon now. He was choosing between Washington and Arizona and was supposedly all set to commit to AZ next week. But, he's a big Alford fan and UCLA could come in during the last minute and swipe him now.

Kodos · 03-30-2013, 12:31 PM

I'll put it this way. I wouldn't want him to coach at IU.

Izulde · 03-30-2013, 12:39 PM

I have to say, as an UNLV fan, I'm loving this hire. Should be able to keep our UCLA transfer train rolling now.

That was my first thought too. I've heard the talk that its already a done deal to Arizona but this makes things more interesting...

But definitely not at my beloved U of I.

Complete 180 from my thoughts on Stevens, for what it is worth.

DeToxRox · 03-30-2013, 02:17 PM

Alford certainly plays a boring style of basketball as well.

DeToxRox · 03-30-2013, 02:26 PM

Did I read he got a 7 year contract as well? That is an absurdly long commitment if he falls on his face.

spleen1015 · 03-30-2013, 02:48 PM

ROFL @ UCLA.

They did worse than Bruce Weber!

Should have hired Kareem!

spleen1015 · 03-30-2013, 02:49 PM

OOOOOOOOH! UCLA gets his son in the deal too.

Now we know why they did it.

spleen1015 · 03-30-2013, 02:51 PM

CBS has Ben Howland on the set today talking about Alford and UCLA.

Matthean · 03-30-2013, 03:02 PM

At least UCLA got somebody to be their coach. Minnesota can't get someone who can claim it to be their alma mater.

DeToxRox · 03-30-2013, 03:06 PM

I honestly think Gottfried was a better choice than Alford.

Johnny93g · 03-30-2013, 03:25 PM

I'll agree with what the other Big Ten guys are saying about Alford. I was never really impressed with what he did, was able to do at Iowa. I do remember not wanting him to become the head coach at IU when the spot was open, twice, a few years back.

This article says the same, although it is the most positive write-up overall that I've seen on the announcement so far.

Uh oh! I don't know how those California AAU coaches will feel about the coach's son taking up one of UCLA's scholarships. I've heard those guys are pretty hard to please.

hoopsguy · 03-30-2013, 03:44 PM

So, I haven't seen this stuff in this thread - apologize if I missed it.

1.) 3 days ago, Alford signed 10 year, $20 extension at New Mexico
2.) Buyout was 150K, was set to move up to 1 million (still pretty low, if you want to make it sting to take your guy) on Monday

at $2 a year I dont blame him for taking a different job.

hoopsguy · 03-30-2013, 03:47 PM

LOL, 20 million. Which is pretty serious scratch for New Mexico, but obviously won't stack up to what UCLA would pay when motivated for a candidate.
