It's a double edged sword. Tough games but good opportunities for quality wins.

We either catch on fire again or we don't. Hubert isn't going to start actually coaching.

Hubert is a red hot deep tourney run away from going into next year on the hot seat.

 

Normally I would agree on Hubert.  The sick part is Bubba Cunningham gave him a new contract last offseason and is one of the most conservative ADs in sports.  
 

Feels like we are stuck with Hubert.  Sadly.  Bubba will keep him on as long as possible

Oh, we're stuck with him for awhile. That championship game run probably bought him at least two more seasons after this one. He's recruiting his ass off so we'll see.

Evidently Miami just owns Duke and UNC from what the announcers just said. Only two losses against UNC and one against Duke under Larranage.

I mean, outside of our tourney run everyone owns us.

True…Dean Smith was like Tony Bennett+++ with ridiculous talent everywhere.  No wonder we ruled college basketball in the golden era for basketball.

This is just street ball these days.

That's my big issue. Hubert just wants to roll the ball out there and try to put talent everyone. We have good talent, don't get me wrong. But they're not Lawson, Ellington, and Hansbrough or Felton, McCants, and May or Cota, Jamison, and Carter.

Hubert says the right things. He says we take too many bad shots, settle for too many threes, too many defensive miscues, too many unforced turnovers. But what are the consequences? The starters still play 35 minutes. Why should they change if there's no consequences? Plant asses on the bench if they're not executing the way you want them to execute. It's a rarity to see a guy get yanked for gaffes. Roy and Dean did that poo all the time. You're not gonna disappear on the bench, but you're gonna get an ass chewing and get your head right.

Here is my thing with Love…if he shoots 4-28 mostly taking bad shots the other team is going to rebound the ball.  That is 24 empty trips.  I don’t know how you can win like that.

Dean used to sit guys for a half for taking 1 bad shot.  Hubert just sits and watches the game.

I know I am being a little over the top there but Caleb shoots this team to a win or completely destroys any chance for us.

Hubert if you do happen across this board do me a favor and tell your team you are not a 3 point shooting team.  Don’t take any more 3s ever.  We will be better for it.

I assume you mean recently.  Larranaga has been at Miami a while.  IMO, he is one of the better gametime coaches in the ACC.  Just doesn't recruit as well as some of the others.

Yeah, Larranaga is a really good Xs and Os coach but Miami has been pretty hit or miss under him because they oftentimes just don't have the necessary talent. For his career hes barely over .500 in ACC play and has missed the NCAA tourney 5 times.

Who cares about recruiting anymore? Just arrange that sweet NIL deal.

Burns vs Bacot could be a battle.
