I’ll put some of this on CDC by letting people courtside have tons of extra tickets that they sell. CDC did not help in building a home court and now Donati is doing everything possible to try and fix this.
How long until somebody re-does the classic South Park Movie bit: "Blame Del Conte!!!"And again, what did DelConte know and when did he know it?
I understand all that. I just don't know if that's worth the rumored $8 million buyout UCLA will have to pay. But people way smarter than me will be making that callLawFrog asked why UCLA wants him...
I guess I can address that. People at UCLA have always had a warm spot for Jamie. A lot of folks here liked Howland's coaching--his style of play, his tenacious defense, etc. What wore thin in the end was his difficult personality and poor interpersonal relationships. But they sort of view Jamie, off the Howland coaching tree, as Howland with a better demeanor. Add in that he's a local kid. The Bruins have also always liked Mark Few, for example...but the word on few is that he wont leave god-forsaken Eastern Washington. If you've ever spent even a day there in winter, you'd worry about the mental well-being of anyone who chose to live there. But, word is that Few will never leave...born and raised in rural Creswell, Oregon, spent his entire career at Gonzaga...isn't comfortable with the idea of moving anywhere...especially the "Big City"...But, Jamie, being an LA kid, should feel right at home.
Hope you’re not expecting the Dixon defense you saw at Pitt. 3 point shots haven’t exactly been guarded very well to say the leastLawFrog asked why UCLA wants him...

So, Dixon doesn’t want to coach in a tough league? He was in the original Big East, and then the ACC before the Big 12. I don’t think that has anything to do with it.From what is going around this morning JD is gone. Maybe the rigors of playing in the Big 12 got to him. We don't always have the best team in the country, but from top to bottom I don't think there is another conference that is as strong as this one. When you factor in a double round robin schedule you have teams like TCU that are NCAA tournament quality that get left out. Maybe JD just isn't up for grueling schedules like that, and if we're honest the Pac-12 is a terrible basketball league so a good team can really clean up there.
JD, thanks for nothing. Thanks for taking this job and improving the team just enough to improve your marketability. Thanks for doing half the job then leaving us in a lurch after we've supported you almost unconditionally.
This probably sounds like sour grapes, and it is, but I hope he fails miserably there.
Ditto. He elevated the program. No ill will here.Can not fault Dixon for taking the UCLA job. That is one of the premier jobs in college basketball. I know he went to TCU, but he also grew up in southern California. The program is in much better shape than when he arrived. I appreciate everything he did for the program and hope the next coach can keep it going.
TCU was 23rd in the nation in 3 pt defense (opponent shooting percentage), 2 nd in the Big 12 only 0.4% behind Texas TechHope you’re not expecting the Dixon defense you saw at Pitt. 3 point shots haven’t exactly been guarded very well to say the least

I am in no sense, shape, or form a "troll." You are incredibly feeble minded if you consider anyone who does not 100% see eye to eye with you is a troll. Enjoy playing fortnite in your mom's basement for the rest of the day.You know it’s a weird day when folks are quoting our trolls.

Literally yesterday, when I thanked someone for the lawsuit updates, or also yesterday, when I said I hope our midweek starter finds something that can help us going forward.When was the last time you said something positive about TCU on this board? That makes you a troll.
We were 1 when we were playing nobody in OOC. Texas really helped those numbers as wellTCU was 23rd in the nation in 3 pt defense (opponent shooting percentage), 2 nd in the Big 12 only 0.4% behind Texas Tech

But you know what, you're right. It's 2019. In typical CNN fashion, if facts don't fit some narrative you are trying to push, just ignore them. Whatever works. You are a complete and utter clown
