[76lsjumb]

Just want to alert everybody that I'm going to Kickstarter later today to seek funding for 76lsjumb's hospitalization. His repeated claim that Johnny Dawkins is a better coach than Tara VanDerveer clearly crosses the line from amusing eccentricity into "danger to himself and others" territory.

garvin, thanks very much for your concern, but no need to worry.  I've seen the light.  Those games against Santa Clara, Arizona State, Oregon State, and UCLA were coaching gems.  Exquisite.  I've never seen a team so well-prepared.  Like watching chess played by a grand master.  As for the men, they've only managed to beat teams coached by Cuonzo Martin [with two likely one-and-doners], Wayne Tinkle [a Board favorite as a potential replacement, as I recall], and Larry Krystowiak [or however his name is spelled].  All pikers.

I apologize for not making my earlier post clear -- that is, the one where I said THIS SEASON, at least so far, the better coached team sure looks like the men's team.  As for my "repeated claim that Johnny Dawkins is a better coach than Tara VanDerVeer,"  I'm having a hard time finding a single post in which I made that claim.  I did find your post LAST January, though, where you said that Tara deserves to be cut some slack given her past success.  I didn't [and don't] disagree with that.  But, man, I hope the slack-cutting doesn't have to last too much longer...
