He’s definitely top 3 at worst. That’s consecutive Elite 8 appearances. Arkansas hired him the same year we hired Oats. Byrne may live to regret that decision, if he isn’t already.but Eric Musselman is the best basketball coach in the SEC.
He's right there for sure. I've said for a while I like the way they play. The thread showing the shot chart for them confirmed what I thought; they use the entire floor. They take and make that mid-range shot which makes them more efficient IMO. Plus he mixes it up on defense depending on who they are playing or how the game is going.but Eric Musselman is the best basketball coach in the SEC.
Got to agree with you. Starting to happen quite often lately.He's right there for sure. I've said for a while I like the way they play.

Oh… man. This board…..He’s definitely top 3 at worst. That’s consecutive Elite 8 appearances. Arkansas hired him the same year we hired Oats. Byrne may live to regret that decision, if he isn’t already.
Not the board, Lou, just the same few posters over and over.Oh… man. This board…..
Brilliant thoughts considering Arkansas is inefficient as shit on offense.He's right there for sure. I've said for a while I like the way they play.

I'm an Oats fan, but just playing devil's advocate, I think Musselman would have been equally successful if he had Herb and company last year.There is this one guy who won a regular season sec championship, a sec tournament championship, went to the tournament in back to back seasons as a 2 and 6 seed, and has a sweet 16 appearance with an overtime loss away from the elite 8. None of the guys mentioned above have that in the last two seasons. Good grief…
He’s obviously a really good cosch and doing a great job there. This anti oats agenda is atrocious thoughI'm an Oats fan, but just playing devil's advocate, I think Musselman would have been equally successful if he had Herb and company last year.
Possibly… impossible to know.I'm an Oats fan, but just playing devil's advocate, I think Musselman would have been equally successful if he had Herb and company last year.
I'm not an analysis nerd; what I see when I watch them is a team that uses the entire floor, which forces you to defend the entire floor. If they were a team that jacks up a bunch of 3s, they would be watching like the rest of us, not in their 2nd straight Elite Eight...Brilliant thoughts considering Arkansas is inefficient as shit on offense.
They are an elite of elite defensive team.

And this guy defends Kristi Curry. Somebody tells this idiot our AD does not regret hiring Oats. Jesus.He’s definitely top 3 at worst. That’s consecutive Elite 8 appearances. Arkansas hired him the same year we hired Oats. Byrne may live to regret that decision, if he isn’t already.
With all the positives we could mention about Arkansas, offensive efficiency… not one of emHe's right there for sure. I've said for a while I like the way they play.

By “right the ship” you mean continuing to do what no one has done for Bama hoops in 3 decades?I'll wait until 2024 before rendering a verdict on Oats. I have low expectations for next season's squad due to newbies, unless he can strike gold through the portal. It's a mystery why this past season's squad took us on a roller coaster ride. Regardless of reasons why, the buck always stops at the HC's desk. Lets see if he can right the ship this upcoming season.
RTR!!!
48th in scoring offense this year. 132nd in scoring defenses.They are an elite of elite defensive team. They suck on offense
btw 7/25 from 3 last night. 38% total from the floor. Worse vs New Mexico State when they mustered up like 52 points.
other shit wins basketball games other than the mid range shot. But…. “Fvck the stats I see what I see” pretty much tells me all I need to know
Yea oats is awful48th in scoring offense this year. 132nd in scoring defenses.
So yeah, fück the stats. They're for nerds, basketball players and coaches WIN games.
The dumbest shit I heard on the radio was that Oats has people run him the analytics during timeouts. He depends far too much on that bullshit than coaching the game.
I swear, some of you are as emotional as a female during that time of the month. No one said Oats was awful, he's not close to being great but he's not awful. Hell this thread wasn't even about him to begin with, yet here we are, dropping him into a conversation he doesn't belong.Yea oats is awful
Guy has been to back-to-back Elite 8's now. That's really all that matters.He finished fourth in the SEC and got blown out in first round of conference tournament. Plays Vermont and New Mexico St in tourney and then Gonzaga has their worst shooting night this year ( wide open looks missed all night).
Pump the breaks.
That would be your boy jtr4dad. Eeyore drops in every thread regardless of topic with the doom and gloom bullshitI swear, some of you are as emotional as a female during that time of the month.

Back to back Elite Eight. We have been knocked out of the tourney by an 11 seed that had to play the Play-In game both years.He finished fourth in the SEC and got blown out in first round of conference tournament.

You’re right here, and this year we definitely should have won, but UCLA last year was not an 11 seed caliber team. Same roster as this year and they may make a second straight final 4.Back to back Elite Eight. We have been knocked out of the tourney by an 11 seed that had to play the Play-In game both years.
One of which went to the final four. Kind of discredit yourself when you’re so obviously biasedBack to back Elite Eight. We have been knocked out of the tourney by an 11 seed that had to play the Play-In game both years.
What DaFuq are you talking about? Are you saying the only thing that matters is a Final Four? You can’t seriously be trying to downplay getting to an Elite Eight.One of which went to the final four. Kind of discredit yourself when you’re so obviously biased
Oy vey...I believe what he is saying is one of the 11 seeds we lost to made the Final Four so clearly, they were a very good team where you seemed to imply we lost to just run-of-the-mill 11 seeds. I don't see anywhere that he is implying much less stating that Final Fours are all that matters.What DaFuq are you talking about? Are you saying the only thing that matters is a Final Four?

He’s saying ucla wasn’t exactly the equivalent of getting knocked out by saint petersWhat DaFuq are you talking about? Are you saying the only thing that matters is a Final Four? You can’t seriously be trying to downplay getting to an Elite Eight.
He did reply to me after I said Arkansas have made back-to-back Elite Eights.Oy vey...I believe what he is saying is one of the 11 seeds we lost to made the Final Four so clearly, they were a very good team where you seemed to imply we lost to just run-of-the-mill 11 seeds.

No doubt UCLA got hot, Alabama helped in that. You’re still the favorite as a 2 seed one year and as a 6 seed the next. In both game he lost the coaching matchup.He’s saying ucla wasn’t exactly the equivalent of getting knocked out by saint peters
What percent of games would you say the loser gets out coached?He did reply to me after I said Arkansas have made back-to-back Elite Eights.

Don't know, but in the two I referenced, 100%.What percent of games would you say the loser gets out coached?

Just curious,did #1 seed Michigan help them? Did Howard get outcoached?He did reply to me after I said Arkansas have made back-to-back Elite Eights.
