The State of UM Basketball

Nope just fighting antagonism with antagonism

My initial point was that JB needed to procure better perimeter talent. That was me being optimistic and realistic given what I know about JB and the system. If people want to talk about yielding top 50 defenses then I’m going to laugh at that assertion since we should all know JB and the system well by now. It seems the people who think defense is the problem would want a different coach, correct?

Baby, meet candy.

He literally just circled three times where this has been achieved. You’ve always been negative, but this is throwing out ANY objectivity you could possibly claim to have. This is just absurd.

if he has done it frequently then it should be no issue betting me up til 2021

Bet terms:
$200 each held by a poster (hopefully Dylan) as an escrow service.
If Beilein coaches at Michigan through the 2020/2021 and fields a top 50 END OF SEASON Kenpom AdjD, hail wins.
If Beilein coaches at Michigan through 2020/2021 and fields a top 50 END OF SEASON Kenpom AdjD, guestavo wins.
If Beilein does not coach at Michigan through 2020/2021, the bet is voided and each of us get our money back.

Accept or no?

3 years out of 25…gotta love those odds going forward. not sure why someone would make excuses not to accept that bet.

So do you accept?

Who do you trust as an escrow service?

I trust you to pay up in 2021.

I don’t trust you to pay in 2021.

sounds like an excuse…not like you had a chance of winning but too bad.

You not having $200 to put into an escrow sounds like an excuse.

So again, guestavo is making excuses. No bet.

No surprise.

Have a good night. Go Blue!

@guestavo1 I haven’t followed the whole thread but caught that you think we’d struggle to make a deep run in the tourney despite being #11 (or something) in Offensive Rating but lack an NBA level guard. I don’t COMPLETELY agree but I think a good example would be Purdue - who I believe are rated around #20 in Offense but are totally geared by their bigs and lack good guard play as well and many think they’ll struggle to make a deep run (as usual).

yeah, i think they lack the good guard play/dynamism to win it all but they have the offense/defense balance to make a run.

And yet there was UNC last year, 3 points away from winning the championship with a team completely built around post players (All 4 players with usage rates >20% were forwards/centers).

Right. And they were ranked Top 10 practically all year, won the ACC regular season and tournament. They definitely made it work all season. Kind of reminds me of Baylor this year.

Justin Jackson as post player is the funniest thing insinuated today

Huh? Not sure what you’re even responding to. My comment was referring to you saying that guard play and “dynamism” is needed to win it all. Justin Jackson is a forward, as I said. a 3/4, the position he plays at UNC, is the definition of the small forward position. You insinuating anything else is the funniest thing I’ve heard today. Not sure where you got that I said he is a post player. Probably your imagination. That team was built around post players. Brice Johnson, Kennedy Meeks, and Isaiah Hicks were 3 of the top 4 players by usage rate. You’re literally arguing against facts, not even opinion. You’re completely unhinged at this point, making up arguments.

Justin Jackson is a 2/3 wing, a perimeter player…not debatable.
