contrary to slth belief, there are moral victories

Brian Newell seems like an OK dude (I've never met him). But there's a line between being an OK dude and a dude who will let his team be held to fewer than 50 points so that San Diego State fans can get free curly fries at a local restaurant, and that's not a line Newell is willing to cross. So when the Occidental coach realized the promotion was in place Friday, he quickly inserted his two leading scorers back into a blowout at SDSU. The score was 91-45 with 2:07 remaining. Final score: 93-50. No curly fries for you! "You have to look for little things," Newell said. "I didn't know that curly fries were at stake until they told me. That was a moral victory."

I'm still waiting on a free hotdog so I can't concern myself with free CFs.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

Just thinking about how this was communicated along the bench or in a TO huddle is hilarious.

We should hire this guy.  Almost certainly recruits as well as the current assistants we have.

Knight, even though in many ways not originally a SLTH, pulls out the one of the ultimate SLTH cards...

Reminds me of when you'd go to a royals game and the giant douche in a ku shirt cared about nothing but the t-shirt toss and the prospect of 12 doughnuts after 12 hits.

There has to be some sort of "Mendoza line" for slth.

Quote
During his last year at K-State, Wooldridge was 5-10 in games decided by 10 points or less and 5-9 in games decided by five points or less. Win three or four of those, and the Wildcats might not have Bob Huggins on the bench.

Quote
CLOSE GAMES DURING 2005-06 SEASON
Games decided by 10 points or less: 5-10
Games decided by five points or less: 5-9
Games decided by one basket: 1-7
Big 12 games decided by 10 points or less: 3-8

CLOSE GAMES DURING 2004-05 SEASON
Games decided by five points or less: 4-3
Games decided by one basket: 1-4

That is unreal. 2-11 in games decided by one basket. The Wooly line.

Remember how the announcers would always talk about Wooly's time in the NBA and how he knew so much about drawing up end of game plays  :lol:

Yep, but you have to put them into position to make plays that they can make too.

Classic example of this is comparing how Huggs used Martin with Hoskins to make a play to beat UT in 07 compared to how Wooly tried to use Martin (essentually on his own) in 06 to make a play against Baylor.

martin was the best player ever recruited by Wooly.  ... ok it takes a combination of both.

it's mostly luck.  player quality next.  coaching is maybe fourth, behind lucky shirts.

wooly is 3-1 in one-basket games this year (counting an OT win).
