NC State's run last year was the fluke of all flukes. It started even before the NCAA, in the ACC tournament. An absolute joke.

A fluke run is perhaps the most confused term I have read on this board. A fluke would have been 1 win. Wins over KY, Purdue and a well regarding Murray State, was a tremendous run. Please tell me the coaches that think that run was anything short of tremendous.

Eventually he'll write a best selling book detailing how the game was ruined, & blame everyone but himself. That's how its done these days.

I am very happy for Dan and am proud of the man he has become. He dealt with some tough stuff being son of a legend (wonder if he and his asst discuss what it was like to follow such well know men as Bob Sr and Bill Murray) and a brother whose accomplishments over shadowed even being named Gaterade POY in NJ.

He had his issues at SHU. He stayed and finished his career here. He went forward, dealt with his issues. Never a bad word or an excuse. Succeeded at every stop. Couldnt be happier for him.

If you’re counting conference tournaments than KW isn’t as bad as you say…can’t have it both ways

“good tournament coach” is consistent wins in the NCAAT not a fluke run by a 15 seed

Now, KW is a “bad tournament coach” but to say Sha is a proven tournament coach is a stretch

Lastly, not that this matters at all…I don’t think many here grasp at the radical difference fans or outsiders judge and look at “tournament success” and insiders (coaches) look at it..and insiders don’t look much at the St. Peter’s run

Only way taxes would have gone up for people under $250k is if it was to pay for public healthcare. Many people who have been happy to accept that trade, even though it was unlikely at the time that could pass through congress.

It's fine if you don't like him or agree with his policies but there is no way to prove he could or could not have won against Trump. All we have is polling and Bernie was consistently more ahead on Trump compared to Hillary. When he dropped out, head to head he was up almost 14% on Trump when Hillary was up 7%. Does that translate into an automatic win? No, but Bernie had broad appeal and a populist approach outside of a party line that was working.

Well money was in politics in 2016. It's still in politics today. So thinking Bernie wins is the dumbest thing ever especially if your basis is because a few hundred people from various states traveled to see him. He loses at minimum 10 times the people that traveled to see him from lack of funding and people not wanting a 91% tax bracket. You have people in NJ making $250K, paying high property taxes, trying to put their kids in a private school, high mortgage monthly payments. They don't want higher tax rates. You could lose NJ with Bernie.

He's not? He's won conference tournaments, took a ragtag team to the Elite Eight, and won an NIT, which, regardless of its overall importance, is still a 32-team postseason tournament with all of its attendant dynamics. There isn't any coach who wins every tournament he coaches, but Sha's ratio of deep runs to tournaments played is pretty good.

I liked KW while he was here, and I don't have a problem that he left for a bigger program. The problem I have is the way he left. He mailed in our BET loss and also our NCAA Tournament loss. He lied to us that he was not contacted by Maryland.

You are absolutely right about this last point that I've quoted. It's why we need to get money's influence out of politics.

Top marginal tax rate bracket during the Eisenhower admin was 91% for married couples on any income earned over $400K That's the equivalent of approximately $4.7M in today's dollars.

I miss having Willard as our head coach and will be rooting for him. Hopefully he finds his way to a second weekend to put that narrative to bed once and for all.
