the NIT was cute and all but it's time to move past that achievement. 3 million a year you better be in the top half of B12 and show something even remotely resembling a competent offense
The dumbness of this comment...the NIT was cute and all
Yes, how dare I question continuing to celebrate being the 65th best team in the country nearly 2 full years later?The dumbness of this comment...
I do remember those. But the bar has been raised. That's what happens when you join a P5 league, pump a bunch of money into massively upgrading your arena, and start paying a coach $3M/year +.
I'm happy he's here, i just want to watch more games where I can say at the end we sure looked like the better-prepared, better-coached team.
I was thinking more along the lines of: that was probably more impressive than any professional accomplishment in your career (or mine). Discounting it is stupid.Yes, how dare I question continuing to celebrate being the 65th best team in the country nearly 2 full years later?
The fact that you believe the NIT winner is the 65th best team is all I need to know.Yes, how dare I question continuing to celebrate being the 65th best team in the country nearly 2 full years later?
Lol ok, let's move it into a completely unrelated and irrelevant context. Me saying move past the NIT win somehow is related to you or my occupation? Would love to hear how that worksI was thinking more along the lines of: that was probably more impressive than any professional accomplishment in your career (or mine). Discounting it is stupid.
You can say we need to target higher accomplishments without calling the biggest basketball success in the last 20 years "cute and all".Lol ok, let's move it into a completely unrelated and irrelevant context.

I have no earthly idea how those 3 words triggered you this much, but all I'm saying is it was good for the program at the time, but in order to keep progressing we need to stop beating our chest about winning a tournament of the 32 best teams to not make the big danceYou can say we need to target higher accomplishments without calling the biggest basketball success in the last 20 years "cute and all".

If he can't recruit why would you want to keep him?LOL. Relax. I didn't say fire him. Good Lord.
It is true that our goals are bigger than winning the NIT now. But it was a big deal at the time. Stop discounting that. It is disappointing that the Frogs might be back in it this year, but it was the first time TCU experienced any success in basketball since Tubbs' team made it to the tourney in '97.
Our goals are higher than that now. But it is still a milestone for our program. We are waiting for the next milestone - win a game or two in the NCAAs. it sucks that it probably won't happen this year, but I bet it will happen soon under Dixon. Do you think there is another coach out there who can take us there?
Sure, that's exactly what I said.so winning the nit in your mind is a bigger accomplishment than making the ncaa tournament?
His predecessor won 8 Big 12 games in 4 years . He never finished better than 9th (he did that once), zero postseason appearances, and we went winless in conference one year. HIS predecessor didn't do much better.
Cool out.
Jesus Christ man, I already said it was big at the time. My only gripe here, no matter how far out of context you and others continue to take my initial, only point, is that I'm tired of going on game threads after losses in conference and seeing "Hey, stop, we won the NIT" anytime someone questions a decision made by JD. Questioning the usage of personnel or lack of any offensive scheme whatsoever should not be met with "2 years, ago we won a 2nd tier postseason tournament so you can't complain." 3 million a year? give me a break.It is true that our goals are bigger than winning the NIT now.

Is there some intent with spelling Dixon's first name wrong every time or are you dyslexic?Fisher is probably done and who said Jaime didn't want Alok to go down the road. We just need to finish as strong as we can this year and then have an incredible off season this year. If Bane and Noi come back for next season, plus Davis, and maybe we hit on some transfers and this recruiting class then all problems go away. Keep marching Coach Dixon.
