Re: If anyone wants to witness ACC refs at their best turn to the UNC- Miami

Are you saying that a coach who has led the program to "new heights" might be fired for failing to meet the expectations?

I'm told that's just plain stupid! Who will they hire that can even do the same job Larrañaga has done, let alone do any better?!

He has 6 NCAA bids, which equals the number of NCAA bids they had in history before he got there! Including two Sweet 16s, an Elite 8, and a Final Four JUST LAST YEAR!

Sure, his average finish in the ACC is 6th place, but he won the ACC regular season twice, and the ACC Tournament once.

I mean, sure, his overall winning percentage is only 0.625 and his ACC winning percentage is only .529, but those are a lot higher than previous Miami head coaches ever did. It's not like Miami has a long history of basketball greatness.

I guess the stretch he had from 2017-2020 (ACC finish 11th, 10th, 13th) plus this years likely finish (around 12th place).

If they fire Larrañaga, how will they find someone better? They should just stick with him for as long as he wants to stay there. I mean, they beat Clemson's "elite" HC and his "best team ever" handily earlier this year in Clemson.

you haven't called anything to task. You have been passive aggressive. When you directly engaged me about stats I've posted, you were blatantly mistaken and moved the goal posts without acknowledging your prior error. Then you started digging up old posts and tagging me with unrelated nonsense. None of this is indicative of someone that has "called (me) to task". You're just the newest variation of the same old crap. If you think something makes a better point, make it yourself. That is "sincere and genuine". Not "derp, I bet you won't post this!" when I actually posted the thing in question and you were too eager to shoot your load to actually read the post. It's not someone's job to argue both sides of the debate which is, at best, what you're trying to do. How many posts about Brownell (not just to me) did you reply some variation of "put it in the contract next time". Yeah, real sincere and genuine debate on your part.

And, to answer the only specific issue you actually brought up - I have discussed assist, turnovers, and assist to turnover ratio. Again, you want me to fight both sides of the fight while contributing nothing but trolling pedantic nonsense while you snicker from the sidelines. That's the height of insincere.
