Why can Shaw be relentlessly criticized but any criticism of Tara is met with profanity and claims of troll?  Why can football threads be filled to the brim with insults of Shaw but one post questioning Tara's coaching decisions is brutally attacked?

FWIW I don't think it was coaching.  Tara can't go into the game and make the shots.  The players had a sub-par shooting game from almost everywhere on the court and there's not too much the coaches can do about that.  It happens and you can never predict when it's going to happen.

I feel it was a great season for the team.  It's very difficult to win an NC.  So many things can go wrong.  I appreciate when any Stanford sports team makes it to the final four.  Having said that, I don't have a problem with criticism of a coach/player as long as it is a genuine and honest opinion.

There are some cardboarders who can vouch for my connection and loyalty to Stanford.  I try to be what I consider objective in evaluating coaches/players and that doesn't seem to be tolerated well on the WBB or WVB threads.  My warning level was increased for a few comments on the WVB thread which were far less incendiary than some comments here.

I don't want to be banned but if I'm banned for this post, so be it.
