If I was a coach I would throw it and play Kelderman and Nelson and Mulder huge minutes.

and lose all momentum you've built over the last 2 games?
thats why you aint coachin' this aint 1929!
The Pac 12 teams decided to split, and U of A is lucky the Big 12 invited them to join. They knew what they were signing up for. I think the benefits of being a part of the Big 12 far outweigh having to take a plane to the conference tournament. It makes sense to hold the tournament in a central location. Join the WAC if you want a closer venue.
Arizona is still adjusting from Pac ked to BIG
OH! I thought that was still the shootaround.
This. Remember when the Big 12 Tournament was held in Dallas a few times? <yawn>
Found the VC who invested in the company.
Unless players generally change shoes to help on typical courts Bob Sloop should just sort of STFU.
Personality vote. Everyone thinks their coach is a swell guy, then there is Stirtz and the story behind both of them. Any other team with that resume Big 10 or not would be on the bubble or playing in Dayton.
Dallas sucked. So did OKC. Big 12 should threaten to kick Arizona out for being such a whiney B#$%^, and send them to the Mountain West.
Seemed to work for ISU. That court isn't going anywhere ($$$$$$$), so teams should adjust and get the proper shoes that don't slip. I'm sure they will tinker with the surface to see if they can reduce slippage.
Its definitely a mix of both. People notice the slips more because they know the court is different, but it is also more slippery. Players themselves are saying they've noticed the difference.
I’ve felt this way since they’ve joined. It was mostly UU for a while but the U of A crowd is starting to speak up. This at the end of the day is a middle of the country conference. Kansas City is fairly central to all the members excluding the PAC additions. Maybe we host in OKC or Denver? If Yormark tries to compromise.
I didn't see much of the game but weren't both teams slipping today?
I'm the point where I feel like Pleta isn't much of a drop off at all from Blake. Just huge going forward to make sure they're both not gassed.
Denver is really the only alternative that makes sense. Its still close to the big 12, has better airport access than KC, and isn't so large that it'd disappear in that city. The unfortunate part is that Colorado has been so historically garbage that most years they probably aren't driving many fans to the arena (plus Denver has an NBA team that gets the attention)
I do think there's also something to be said though with KC, and other teams will think its a bit unfair, that there's an almost guaranteed attendance for it there so the conference doesn't take a bath on ticket sales if the wrong teams are down. ISU\KU fans (and to a lesser extent KSU/OSU) will always make sure the arena gets sold even when one or both are having a down year.
Yeah. I am so tired of these 6 foot tall soy boy beta cuck division one basketball players complaining about getting injured on this visibly slippery court.
