Admittedly I think the Frank Martin drama is hilarious. The UMass AD needs to reign him in. Can't have a head coach threatening to fist fight fans and small media accounts. Frank got the UMass twitterers riled up in the off season and loved it now he can't take the heat.

Betting on the other hand seems to be getting out of hand. Even big sports outlets like ESPN seem to be playing into it with "bad beats" bits etc.. Seems like aa huge shift in a short period of time.

I bet Mike Rhoads could whip any poster on this board.

If nothing else he could embarrass them at the three point line.

Actually that should be a contest. You could charge fans to take on Rhoades on in a three point contest. Charge a small fee and if you win you get like tickets or something.

that's fair if that's how it is presented, but unfortunately its supposed to be the official comprehensive ranking guide for the committee. I think the most effective system would be two metrics, one that only ranks teams based on the quality of wins and losses (as in just using the quad system) and one that only ranks teams based off efficiency numbers. the former being weighted higher than the ladder.

Unfortunately the Quad system is based on the NET.

and vice versa. they need to not be so entangled.

Make no mistake Mike is a baller. You dont get to be National POY at his size by just being a fan favorite. Plus didnt he lead his guys to a NC?

Uh what? You think the average VCU fan is out shooting Rhoades from three?

Did he play all four years or does he have some eligiblity? Do we have room in the portal? And is the NIL large enough?

I used to follow basketball and never spoke that language. I apologize.

Unless a former player is on here.
.And even then about 70% of them couldn't beat him in 3 point shooting.
Im not talking about being guarded, just 10 out of 10 from the line.

This happened at an A10 game so it's on topic.

Related to this, is there an American equivalent of @footyscran ?
