Romar = Tedford

Romar is a mediocre x's and o's guy, but I don't want him fired. Despite two straight NIT appearances, he did win a Pac 12 title last year. We have one of the better program's in the Pac 12.

Having the sixth best program in the conference after UCLA, Arizona, Colorado, Cal, and Oregon is not special.

Oregon finished ahead of UW one year, therefore they have a better hoops program?

For Jake's sake man, let it play out or something.

Oregon has a better arena, a better coach, and ownership that actually cares.

Agree with one and three. I'm not convinced on #2. Altman was very mediocre before being hired at Oregon (much like Romar was very mediocre before coming to UW). Altman may be better than Romar, but I think it's early to declare that with certainty.

No question about the other two, though. Will that translate to consistent hoops success? It might. They've had better ownership the entire Romar era and yet UW's been a consistently better program. The arena may be the game changer.
 
Altman at Creighton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Romar at St. Louis.

Check the facts then pop off.

The big factor working in UW's favor is that the local talent base for Romar is worlds better than the local talent base for Altman.

I guess. In 4 years at K State he made the tourney once and was one and done. In 16 years at Creighton he made the tourney 7 times, which is impressive, but went 1 and done 5 times and only won 2 tourney games total.

Altman's been a head coach for 23 seasons and has 2 NCAA tournament wins in 8 trips (with the 9th pending). Romar's been a head coach for 17 seasons and has 8 wins in 6 trips. Altman is 2-8 in the tournament, Romar is 8-6.

Neither is an incredible coach but Altman's resume is the weaker of the two, IMO.

 
You know, when I was researching Bow Down to Willingham, I recall finding a quote from Todd Turner saying that he tuned out criticism of losing football games when he heard that Willingham had showed up unexpectedly at a classroom as a way to send a signal to some of his players. Turner said it put a smile on his face. It read very similar to this.

It was a crime against college athletics that Todd Turner wasn't aborted.

Spellcheck of the week.
 
Yeah they basically were quite similar. Real good first half of the tenure before burning out the 2nd half.

I can't tell if you're bumping old threads because you're an idiot or you get it. Either way it'll be interesting.

If I was to point out all the times he was wrong it'd be a full time job
 
When you predict Sark will turn it around, the Dallas Stars will win a Stanley Cup, etc, then you gotta cling to your victories. Who would've predicted Golden State would be great this year?

By the next year I did. The NWG/Upshaw year was the final straw.
