ok that's why Shaka > Marshall

I thought we were discussing why Marshall should not be hired over legit other candidates

lol. Making a Sweet Sixteen (which we did with Herb) is more impressive than an NIT championship. If you breathe through your nose at least

going to the sweet 16 > winning the NIT

actually, making the NCAA tournament > winning the NIT

This is the absolute worst justification for any coach.

Everyone is better than Sid, we cannot possibly hire a worse coach. Comparing any candidate's accomplishments to Sid's accomplishments is completely asinine.

And winning the NIT is not more impressive than reaching the sweet 16. Really, it's not even as impressive as losing in the first round of the big boy tournament.

So beating Nebraska, CofC, @ Virginia Tech, Wazzou, and Alabama is just as impressive as being the 16 and losing to Kansas by 40?

Like I said, WSU can't help they didn't get lucky and get in like VCU. Everyone has forgot most experts said VCU shouldn't have got in. WSU beat NCAA (snubs) Vtech and Alabama to win it. At least be acknowledge what they did was impressive.

Too many people hating on the NIT. Yeah it's not the big dance but you've still got to beat some semi-legit teams (bubble and snubs) to win it. Definitely more impressive than being bounced on the first day, be serious here folks .

I mean

Who gives a fuck what conference those schools are affiliated with

VT and Nebraska suck

Alabama is an impressive win

Is CoC in the Big 10?

No, see, they can help it. Win your conference tournament. Beat UConn or San Diego State -- the only two decent teams on your schedule.

Or -- here's the big one -- beat VCU in February on your own floor.

It's not like they just draw names out of a hat. WSU's resume wasn't impressive. No one was clamoring for them to be in the field.

Maybe not in and of itself, but did you watch any of the games? His team and his coaching looked miles beyond anything we've had in years (decades?). He did an impressive job and I think it would translate well to State.

Not a huge improvement, a marginal improvement. Guy hasn't even made the tourney in four years at Corn Fucker State, how's he gonna do it here?

We know what we're getting with Marshall. It's not very good and it's not very exciting.

We're not sure what we'd get with Shaka, but there's a chance it could be phenomenal. I'd rather shoot for that and risk failing hard than hire Marshall only to get Herb'd in five years.

I am not arguing against Smart....but that game had a ton of shit calls in it both ways.

Very entertaining game....both teams played hard knowing what was on the line.

Something Smart hasn't done? His team finished 4th in a mid-major without winning the tournament and got in the NCAA. I doubt that's been done much.

Well the ACC does at least get MORE THAN ONE BID. So he doesn't have to win the entire fucking conference to make it in.

Man, look. Focus on these words. Do not shift the argument.

Marshall could have helped his resume by winning the tournament. That's it. Smart didn't win, yes, but obviously that wasn't necessary.

Do not packboozie that shit.

I've never seen as much hate for a successful coach.

Marshall would have the best resume a NC State basketball coach has ever had if he gets the job.

29-8 is not mediocre

29-8 against pretty poor competition is mediocre. His only win against any team ranked in Pomeroy's top 50 came tonight. 0-3 before Bama. He beat up on a down MVC, still couldn't win it, and didn't make the tourney.

I wonder if you intentionally ignore context or if you're just that stubborn
