Then how do you explain the 20+ victories in NCAA tournament games since the 70's?

They just need to pay more for better players.

True. Some of the mid-major talent may hit the portal.

Other than their Sweet 16 and Elite 8 appearances? What other team have you been watching?

They just need to pay more for better players.

They do need to pay more. They need to rally the funding.

But they also need a coach who can relate and land recruits and NIL guys and tell them Columbia is the place to be to grow and prosper and have them believe it.

THAT'S Dennis Gates.

Give him the time to do it.

I'm fine with keeping Gates, although I don't think he's a great coach I do think he's good enough to get a reasonably talented team to the FF.

Poor talent evaluater, inability to coach guys up, poor X and O guy, inconsistent recruiter, yeah, he's our guy.

So will that guarantee the needed consistency to win big? Ex. Advance to at least the Sweet Sixteen.

Yes, that's the way it's works. When you have more talent than other teams you consistently win more. Do you not understand sports (or life).

I won a lot of basketball games as a head coach. Talent is very important. Especially, superior talent. But there are many other aspects involved in putting together a tremendous team that is consistent. You don't seem to have the capacity to understand that.

You're joking. Anyone that know sports knows that more talent wins more often. That's the starting point. You can do other things to improve on your win percentage but having better talent is step 1. Get over yourself.

"Put 4-5 five star players on the floor and if they aren’t coached well you won’t win or at least win the big ones. Coaching makes a huge difference". Let this sink in.

I disagree with most of what you say here and the recruiting is more about money than anything else.

Jesus dude, you think you're talking over my head but you aren't. Even Calipari wins with 4-5 star kids so while it takes a decent coach to win with good talent it's MUCH easier to win with more talent.

I heard St Monica's closed their school.

Is that why you used the past tense?

MBCA Hall of Fame.

How much did they charge your school for a table at the annual banquet that year?

I wrote this before when Martin was at this stage of his career at Mizzou. Gates does some things well as head coach, but we all agree the offensive structure or lack of is a major issue. Hire an assistant coach who is well versed in the European systems of five out and ball screen continuity offenses and give this coach the freedom to install and coach it and make in game adjustments against man and zone. Many of the D1 programs are doing it now. Gates needs to look inward and realize this, as he already has numerous assistants who probably play the yes man role. Sadly, I don't see this happening, and it will be Ground Hog Day next year again at this time regardless of who he recruited.

Congratulations boys.

This can only mean that some or all of those on the list have handed this moron his (donkey) in multiple threads not only now but when he was under whatever username (lacoochie, Supreme,etc.) he was banned on in the past.

Keep up the good work.
