There is no "issue." Nobody seriously thinks Kennedy is a better coach than Martin, it's a laughable position and you look like a basketball novice for even hinting that it might still be in question with that post.

For a novice.

He's talking to Hop, not you. Have another drink.

Coached USCe to the Final Four. If that doesn't make you a good coach I don't know what does.
Kind of like what BK had last season when we only made the Sweet 16?Hop said:
Two of his three best players are stud seniors and the other top player may go pro. Just as y'all have said this year, I'm not going to anoint a guy a great coach based on one good year. If his No. 55 ranked freshman class and the young players on the roster can sustain this year's success next season, then I'll say he's a very good coach. I'll be impressed.
I have not doubted Martin's ability to get his teams playing good defense, but his recruiting outside of the gimme he got with Dozier has historically been inconsistent. He hasn't proven he can stockpile talent year-after-year. He may prove me wrong. If he does, I'll take my medicine.

You're very wrong. You watch how the guard and rebound the ball? It's nothing like the passive way Kennedy desires defense to be played. SC denies passes and dictates what they want you to do on offense.

Don't look now, but there's a southern football school in the Final Four despite being a trash program just three years ago, and it's all because they have a good coach.
Hop is basically a troll/contrarian on all threads related to or that could be related to Kennedy.La Bamba said:
Did Hop seriously argue for Kennedy in a Kennedy-Martin argument?
Does Hop also think Lavar Ball could beat MJ one-on-one?

It could happen. The West Virginia defense gave Gonzaga a lot of problems (41% shooting, 16 TOs), so I imagine South Carolina will bother them too. USC is going to have to do a lot better on offense than WVU did, though, because I don't see Gonzaga getting crushed on the boards again (Gonzaga is generally a great rebounding team).Pumpkinhead said:
Do y'all see South Carolina getting past Gonzaga? I'm thinking probably not. The Zags have only lost one game all season and they play defense just has ruthless. And offensively they just don't seem to have any weaknesses. They can bludgeon you inside or shoot threes all game.

but really arguing about that seems ridiculous because a Final Four run is more than worth a rebuilding job for awhile after.

I've always thought frank was a good coach. He's been at South Carolina since 2012. Kennedy came here in 2011. His percentage is .565 and BK's is .581. Frank has an e8. Kennedy has a s16. Frank was given a **** sandwich and bk was given a coaches pick to win the b12. It's about sustainability. And FWIW, Scott drew is a dumb ass coach.

My favorite part is the argument that "yea, well Kennedy was coaching at small one bid dumpsters", as if Kennedy had a choice in the matter, and was coaching at those schools out of some sort of charity. No credit is due to Martin and other guys for getting "better" jobs than Kennedy.
That's what's so hard about Kennedy and comparing him to others. I've really tried to think of guys that have had similar paths as him, and they're just aren't any. Kudos for him for getting his "dream job", but he's proven, after 6 years now, that he's not a good coach, and that maybe THATS why he was at THREE different one bid schools.
