    If you listen to the Dakich Show, it kind of makes sense. Woodson is business partners with a LOT of the old $$$ donors. 

    That’s great, but we’re not looking for a business partner, we’re looking for a basketball coach.  They guy has no college experience and has never had to recruit players.  It may very well be him, but that would be extremely underwhelming.  Dolson is going to be tied to this coach, and I don’t think he’ll tie himself to someone who doesn’t have college experience.

    I'm all over the place on what I want. That ship sailed last week so I keep coming back to Beilein and Musselman. Beilein for a 5-6 year stop gap and get the program grounded again. People bring up the age deal. Guess what. Saban is a year older.

     

    The main difference is that Saban has been there a while, has established that program over the years and wins big.  Beilein has taken at least 3-4 years to get his programs established pretty much wherever he’s been.  It’s not a knock on Beilein, it just typically takes a little time to get your program established.  If he were to get hired, he would be ready to retire by the time he (potentially) gets this thing going.  I just don’t think Dolson pays 10m for a stop gap. I would think he wants someone who is going to be here a while if/when they find success.  The longer this thing drags out, the more confident I become that we’ll get someone good.  Just a feeling.

    ......and he is not just lost and clueless on defense, he’s unwilling. 

    There was an article I read recently about him and he had this quote, “Teams don’t pay players to play defense.”  That tells you all you need to know.

    I hope he didnt fracture his knee cap. He couldnt bend his leg then he panicked after he pulled down his knee pad and saw it.

    I just watched the play and Quinn Buckner said “It’s his knee cap, you can see it.”  Not sure if dislocated or fractured but not good.  Hope he’s alright.

    Ah the moronic fan voting for the All Star game continues. Among the "top" vote getters so far:

    Dwayne Wade, Derrick Rose, Vince Carter and, though 10th among WC frontcourt players -- Cousins, who hasn't played a single game in 12 months. 

    Fan voting. Classic stuff.

     

    I understand wanting the fans to feel involved, but their votes should not count in any of the sports All-Star games.  I know this is the NBA thread, but case in point is Darius Leonard not making the Pro Bowl.

  6. I didn’t watch the game, but read that VO shot 4-15 and was a big reason for lack of ball movement in the first half.  I’ve seen other posters on here state that the Pacers are very good when VO isn’t looking to get his and lets the game come to him.  For those of you who watched, did you see this as an issue last night?

    Anyone else starting to get concerned about Victor's injury? Going on 3 weeks now with no indication of return. The good news is Pacers are now 7-4 without him. Last year Pacers were 0-7 without Vic. I see him getting shots up before games, doing drills,etc....but no news on any return. 

    I read somewhere that he wasn’t going to come back until he was 100%.  He’s probably close, considering he’s doing drills and what not, but evidently not there yet.

    I don’t understand your point?

    I said the NBA is the standard for player marketing. The NBA is the best at it and set the template for it. If you’re an NBA player it really doesn’t matter what market you’re in. MLB has had a terrible time marketing their athletes. Mike Trout is arguably on pace to be the best player ever and he’s not a household name. 

    I guess I just don’t understand what you think the NBA does differently than the NFL.  IMO, the NFL and NBA are pretty equal.  MLB is a different animal IMO.  The thing about it is that most of the NLF and NBA players get marketed in college, whereas college baseball doesn’t get near the following.  By the time these guys get to their respective leagues, they’re already household names for the most part.  The MLB players are already at a marketing disadvantage in that regard.  Also, like others have said, winning has a lot to do with marketing.  Trout is the best player in this generation, but he’s been on terrible teams.  Unlike the NBA and key positions in the NFL, MLB players have a smaller effect on team success.
