OOTB Carolina Basketball Discussion Thread

Also........what's up with the dude just blatantly marketing his (poorly designed) sports bar website on Radar?

I hope A.J. is like charging him money or something, if he's even aware of it since he doesn't read the free boards. You got any intel on this @heelbent ?

Which thread?

haven't seen it, THN. Where is the post?
 
Which thread?
Every thread. I think he is talking about steat.
I see it. I'm going to find out
Yeah guys, I'm talking about Steat. His company "sponsors" the prediction contest on Radar, whatever that means. I ain't trying to rat or anything, but I really, really like the job A.J. does on this site, so I'd be a little irritated if that Steat dude is just shamelessly using this site to drive traffic to his site and not paying THI anything.

I'd like to see this site grow and see A.J. be able to hire more and more staffers over time. I know A.J. probably ain't pulling in much and he works his ass off.
 
Ahh yeah, you touched on one more thing I meant to mention in my question ... these "academies" like Oak Hill. 1). Is that a real high school that just attracts ballers from nationwide, or is it just like a basketball teaching institution that also happens to teach high school classes? lol. You see these academies way more in basketball than football recruiting. Yes, there's the IMG Academy in football, but that's really the only major one that comes to mind. Of course there's major high schools that draw talent (Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas and St. Thomas Aquinas in Ft. Lauderdale) come to mind, but those are generally kids from that general area.

I don't know, in my opinion, basketball coaches are pretty lazy when it comes to recruiting, at least compared to football coaches. Football coaches have to evaluate so many players, it's ridiculous. Basketball coaches might have to evaluate, at the very most, 30? Which is why it's crazy when basketball bluebloods miss on guys. Like the guy from Louisville a couple years ago who was from Raleigh. And like Steph Curry. There's no way all the Power 5 football schools would miss on a talented kid like Steph Curry, IMO.

I have no idea how football staffs do it. It is ridiculous the amount of kids they have to identify, monitor, and keep in touch with.

Can someone explain to me WTF a secondary break is? TIA
In its simplest form, it is a quick basket you get before the defense can get set. Usually after a quick inbounds after a made basket, but not always.

However, if you ask gary he will tell you it's any basket up until about 3 seconds left on the shot clock. We are in our half court set after that point.
 
So ESPN is already hyping up the dook game a week early. Just another reason that those ****wads have ruined this game for me. They make it out to be the freaking super bowl and if you lose then your season is for shit.

Moving the ND game is terrible for us. Kevin Knox was to visit this weekend. I doubt he's coming now. Just can't catch a break.
 
Duh. Y'all freaked out over nothing lol. UNC is a cash cow. ESPN will always find a way to televise them. I think our fans take for granted how lucky we are to have the exposure that we do.

Ehh, it wouldn't suck if we'd win the damn game more than 1 in every 5 attempts.

Still sucks for me. I don't get ESPN news so I'm going to have to watch it on my little ass phone.
Do you have an Xbox or any kind of streaming device (Roku, etc) for your tv? If so, and you have a cable subscription that has ESPN, you'll likely find it on the WatchESPN app.

I got none of the above and I wouldn't use an Xbox if you gave me one. Those things suck.

Sorta like dook winning 3 of the last 5 football games, despite having significantly less talent? At least UNC basketball can say they've had less talent and have been facing perhaps the best college coach in the game. Can the football team say that? Your opinions are so biased toward football.

Right.. because I totally said I was cool with us losing to Duke in football. Totally legit comparison you just made there.
 
You didn't say you were cool with it but we all know you constantly make excuses for the football program and cut the basketball program zero slack. You talk about basketball only UNC fans, yet your bias for football is so obvious.

UNC Basketball is already in the pantheon of great programs. We have the talent and the coaching and the resources to make a deep tournament run every year. There's no reason we should be doing as poorly as we have been against Duke the past 6 or so years in hoops.

Again, we lost to dook 3 of the last 5 years, despite having clearly superior talent. That has not been the case in basketball. And most would say Krazywhiskey is the best college basketball coach in the modern era, I imagine you would as well.

Again, I never said it was acceptable to lose to Duke in football. All three of Fedora's losses to Duke have been very unacceptable. Last season's was especially unacceptable because Duke had a shitty season due to never having their starting QB. That was a bad, bad loss and I've said so multiple times.

The only thing we disagree about with that loss is that you think it totally trainwrecked the season. I'm not of that same opinion.
