We disagree all the time. But I respect your opinion as one that is formed based on a reasonable amount of data -- even when it's not one we share. You've been around through the good and bad this season and have seen enough of this team to give a fair, informed take.JP1037 said:bear2be2 said:

I disagree with you often but you are 100% right about this.

All the green-n-gold blinded haters in here just wanted to hate on other (more basketball knowledgable) posters like myself. But, I started offering to all of you in here a long time ago the lack of quality free throw shooting as a priority in Drew's program would cost the Bears. It did, as predicted. Drew's scheme has run its course.
And, by the way, Coach Calipari says "hi". One-n-done 5 Stars have NEVER made a material impact to any college program. Actually, in almost all instances they have cratered a once-successful program. Drew has gotten all caught up in that kool-aide and the results show. The best programs at the D-I have players who stick and play 2-3 years together, minimum.

BB is still closer to the way College sports used to be for coaches. Maybe it is because the Tourney really hasn't changed drastically.Robert Wilson said:
As long as he wants it to be. He won the only national championship of any consequence in the history of Baylor University. He can kind of do whatever he wants for however long as he wants.

You think I'm anti-Drew? I hope he coaches here for the next 20 years. We're going to get back to the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight and hopefully beyond because he's going to give us that chance every year.FLBear5630 said:That was when he went into the HOF, sorry for the lack of clarification.EvilTroyAndAbed said:

Ok, got me. Drew won't be Coack K. Will you take an Al Maguire, Jim Boeheim, Larry Brown, Lute Olson type coach? Is that good enough for Baylor?
When I was a kid, my parents brought me to a Baylor Pigskin Review at Homecoming. Judge Mccall, President of Baylor at the time noted that it had been over 45 years since Baylor had won a conference championship in football and if we don't win one in the next 45 years we were done. Sounds like a fair timeframe for Scott Drew.ALLBEAR said:
Really, though. How long is it? We are the most overrated team every year.

So in a week where we are hearing that the bluest of blue blood programs (Kentucky) considers Drew a top choice for a coach if they fire Calipari, we have idiots wanting him to be on the hot seat.
Baylor just has some lousy fans.

He is to our basketball program what Bill Snyder is to KSU' football.

Winning a national championship gets you an infinite leash at Baylor. Look at Dave Aranda. One good season out of four, and we're still keeping him even though everyone and their dog knows that he's toast. Drew is an upbeat, positive guy that fits the "Baylor vibe" or whatever you wanna call it. He is a good marketing tool for Baylor, and that's good for donations. Private schools need donations. Ergo, he ain't going anywhere anytime soon
Throw all that in the garbage. He is a top 10 coach in the nation. Best coach in the history of Baylor.

Louisville fans on the board, it seems.
The only thing Snyder doesn't have is a national championship, and he had Kansas State in the conversation deep into the season on multiple occasions.historian said:PartyBear said:

Except Snyder doesn't have Drew's accomplishments.

"stuck" is a poor choice of words although I don't think you meant it negatively
We are very blessed to have Drew. Most programs in the country would be very happy to have him. Ask the Louisville fans.
Yep. Sean Miller's teams never reached a Final Four despite five seasons as a top-five seed.TXBEAR_bf said:
Arizona has won exactly one championship, over 25 years ago, not saying they aren't a great program, but for the most part it started and ended with Lute Olson. All coaches since have had marginal success in March with A LOT of early exits based on their seed.

I was defending Drew. Olson is in HOF and as you said 1 Championship. You don't kick HOF coaches to the curb without a good reason.TXBEAR_bf said:

Agree 100%.TXBEAR_bf said:
I just saw your quote "schools that can go on runs but won't be like an AZ or Kansas". I don't consider U of A any where close to Kansas or any of the blue bloods. They have a great program, but at this stage so does Baylor. I wasn't trying to argue any point, just that I don't think AZ and Kansas are in the same consideration. They are fringe BB, and do have good fan support.
Drew is a hall of fame coach to be sure. I am not sure if where he started will be considered for induction, but his number of wins when he finishes and his NC should cement it. I think he stays until he wants to go, barring 4-5 seasons of below .500. At some point the program is bigger than anyone person.
