fantastic SLTH first sentences

Bill Carmody took Northwestern basketball from the depths of Division I to respectability. But given 13 chances, he could not take the Wildcats to the NCAA tournament.

That may be the best SLTH comment of all time.

Right now a leading candidate for the new king is actually Obama's bro-in-law.

5 seasons at Oregon State, 61-70 overall, 27-45 Pac 10/12, 3 CBI appearances (including CBI champs).

Yep, that's a great one. Johnny Dawkins is another possibility.

Yep, that's a great one.

And the record is actually worse than what I said. They went 14-18 this year, and that wasn't included on wikipedia.

After the season he had some great SLTH quotes:

“We’ve made a lot of progress,” Robinson insisted. “You know, when I first got to Oregon State we were trying not to lose by 30. This year, because of these guys’ hard work continually, we were in every game we played in the Pac-12 this year.”

The CBI is a tournament that schools have to buy their way into, and Oregon State wasn’t too proud to do it in three of Robinson’s first four seasons.

“Normally we would say yes to that,” Robinson said. “But these guys want to be NCAA Tournament guys. I don’t know with our record if we would even be invited. But we are raising the bar. We want to feel the sting of not playing in the postseason and see how that motivates us for next year.”

Jeff Bzdelik
Have to factor in his suckatude at Colorado and that program's improvement the second he left town and Wake's tradition.
I think he's the winner.

Oregon State's coach looks like the front runner, but in researching other potentials, I had no idea how many meaningless games Andy Kennedy has won at Ole Miss. 

149-85 (66-64), 5 NIT bids and on the bubble again this year

Good point, but I think he might be slightly better than true SLTH. They seem to be on the bubble every year, and he needs more under .500 seasons. He's actually above .500 in conference games, they've been 7-9, 8-8, or 9-7 every years he's been coach.

Or a school that takes BB very seriously, say BYU, UNLV or Gonzaga (not that Few's a SLTH).

Yeah, doesn't meet the qualifications. And that's actually worse than a SLTH.

How does that guy have a job? Does Texas State not care at all about basketball? That's worse than Wooly (who was a Texas State stud).

We were too cheap to buy out his contract (which ends this season). Plus the AD wanted our APR under control after the coach before him basically got the NCAA on our ass. So he's been loathe to fire him even though the fans who are still paying attention universally want him gone.

And yeah, we're like UT fans in that we give absolutely no fucks about basketball. Average attendance is around 1500 :frown:

I hope so, but our athletic director loves mediocrity. He's the Tom O'Brien of athletic directors.

Ole Miss's Andy Kennedy belongs on this list.

If the Rebs miss the Dance, he'll enter Year 8 with 7 NIT's (includes one at Cincy) and zero NCAA tourney appearances, and he'll keep selling the same old Bob Huggins Tree garbage that the fans have fallen for every year until this point.

The SEC seems like it's loaded with SLTH's, confirm/deny?

Craig Robinson shouldn't count IMO. Being the POTUS' bro-in-law has saved his job, he's a very special circumstance.

Also, I bet black college football coaches envy guys like Robinson & Trent Johnson. If they were football coaches both would have already received the life sentence as a NFL position coach.
