@jayballer73 stop!
-
@jayballer73 Just for the record - Bill Self will tell you that the team goal every year is to win the Big 12 Conference. He must be a “settler”. And I really don’t think anywhere in all of this mess that i’ve called Drew a “bad” coach. Maybe I did - I don’t remember. But I DID say that he’s not a good coach. So good and bad is evidently a judgement call. Because I don’t think he’s a good coach.
-
@nuleafjhawk Saying someone is not a good coach is pretty strongly implying that they are a bad coach.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 It’s really not. It could be saying they’re OK. They decent. Maybe I should have said “Great” instead of “Good”. Would we be having this conversation now if I had done that? Is anyone willing to step out into the abyss and say he’s a Great coach?
-
Does anyone remember these guys? They were some extremely talented athletes and players. Look at the dates - a lot of them played together at Baylor on the same team. You get my point. I’m sorry I got everyone all out of joint today.

Then most people would say that coach was okay or decent if they meant that instead of not good. I don’t ever recall using the phrase “not good” to describe okay, decent, average or anything along those lines. Every time I’ve used that phrase or heard other’s use “not good”, it was to say whatever was being talked about was bad without saying it was bad.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’d give it a C or average. Not good or not bad, just me.

Also, getting old!

Hell no!
I think he’s good, but far from great. Not someone I’d want at KU, but I think he’s good for the conference. A decent human being and he currently has the #1 team that broke KU’s win streak for longest in conference history. I’d say he’s good - above average. Arguments could be made that Huggins is great and if so that makes 2 great coaches in the conference, 1 rising star in Beard (we’ll see if that continues), 1 above average coach in Drew, 3 average coaches in Dixon, Kruger, and Weber, and a below par bunch at the other schools -Prohm, Shaka, Boyton.
I really don’t know who I’d like as Self’s replacement were he to retire unexpectedly from his post, but it isn’t someone from the Big12.

I’ve been on this site for a long time now and it’s a much bigger part of my day than it probably should be.
I don’t ever intentionally try to be mean, rude or offensive and if I am, please call me out on it and I will apologize immediately. But please don’t criticize an opinion, mine or anyone else’s.
I let the Drew thing cause too much friction today and I’m sorry about that. It’s an argument that can’t be won. Listen to a couple of old farts argue about Ford and Chevy. Budweiser or Coors. Republican or Democrat. It’s just each person’s opinion. And they’re both right.
Anyway, sorry to those I offended. Here’s to a KU victory in Wacko tomorrow. RCJH
-
@nuleafjhawk no, I would not.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 You tell 'em!
-
@nuleafjhawk You did not offend me. You have no need to apologize.
-
This has been a pretty entertaining exchange… hope no one is taking it too seriously…
my 2 cents Drew is better than mediocre – he’s at least a decent coach and probably a good coach. I think you have to give him some credit for two teams that got to the Elite Eight and lost to the eventual national champ… and another year was a #1 seed.
No, he hasn’t won the B12, but KU had a historic run for 14(!) years.
If he’s not a good coach, then he has to be considered a very good recruiter, because that means he’s doing some pretty good stuff simply with the talent he’s brought in.
-
Happy Gameday everyone!! Should be a epic game with a great atmosphere. I’m feeling good about this one
.
-
@bskeet Dude! That’s the what was in my head all day yesterday, but I couldn’t figure out how to make my point. The recruiting part of it! Scott Drew is a master recruiter- among the very best.

@jayballer73 everyone Is entitled to their own opinion!
gee , thanks for reminding me of that. - what the hell if you have seen posts do you think I ALWAYS say? - - I’ve said repeatedly that everyone ha an opinion and that’s EXACTLY what I put out, people wanna come back at me an offer theirs - -super , but people start throwing words around talking like I’M some dum as then umm maybe your fine with that - -I’m not doing it
I have no problem with people opinions That’s what I love about America - - freedom of speech expression, - people more often then not talking down to me saying my thoughts and expressions are jibberish - -screw that there is not ONE person here that is better then myself and I’m not doing it any longer people with their smug College degree from KU and like to look down other every day plain people like myself. - -people put there pants on here one leg at a time just like myself.
Ya go ahead and ask what the hell am I rambling about. - -I’ll tell you what it is I’m tired of when ol Jayballer voices HIS opinion there are people here that get their little golden spooned ass all twisted because I’m not a Crimson & Blue blind as colored individual. - -I’m not afraid to say if this team has flaws - -this team is weak - - if another coach is a good Coach I’m not gonna shut my blinders and have the approach OH there is no way any other Coach - - any other team can possibly be any good.
This rant is NOT just this topic , people treat with respect - - I’ll treat you with respect. You treat me like shit - - I’m gonna treat you like shit. Just like - -now you just felt you JUST HAD to put your little exclamation point at the end of your statement. - -That comes across like you a mom or farther scolding me for my remarks - there is no place with that with me - take that somewhere else that was un needed You or anyone else don’t like what me input is - -then FRICKEN block me - - move on , no one is asking ANYONE to read a single dam thing I say I am good. It’s a fricken really sad day when I can’t come in read and comment with out being attacked every dam time that my response gets someone’s panties all twisted. I thought that crap stopped in grade school - - -Guess - -OH WAIT – GUESS NOT ! ! ! ! ! - - now go ahead fire back I can’t wait

just did I’m done

I posit Drew is maybe a good evaluator of talent, but not necessarily a good recruiter. Quincy Acy a guy we tend to gush over was the 149th rated power forward in his class, he scored a 62 rating from ESPN.
There was a good run around 2010 for Scott Drew recruiting wise he managed to snag 1-2 90+ rated guys per year for a few years. Basically 1-2 guys a year for a four year span that are guys Bill would’ve recruited.
This is the only reason I think Scott Drew is an above average coach, we (KU fans) constantly overestimate the raw talent Baylor has. Glad he’s in the Big12.
-
@jayballer73 Trying to have a friendly debate about Scott Drew’s coaching/recruiting chops here. Let’s not talk about each other. Please, don’t go after the poster it’s more fun for everyone that way. @Crimsonorblue22 is a moderator for a reason and she’s calmly trying to tell you to be nice. That’s all, sometimes we need a reminder of how we sound to others.
-
Oh boy, what happened in here.
-
The reason we lost good posters
-
Funny to read an argument about the definition of “good”.
Synonyms for good: acceptable bad excellent exceptional favorable great marvelous positive satisfactory satisfying superb valuable wonderful ace boss bully capital choice crack nice pleasing prime rad sound spanking sterling super superior welcome worthy admirable agreeable commendable congenial deluxe first-class first-rate gnarly gratifying honorable neat precious recherché reputable select shipshape splendid stupendous super-eminent super-excellent tip-top up to snuff
-
He’s not a good coach. He couldn’t adjust to Kansas running a high ball screen with Doke. He doesn’t have good offensive or defensive schemes. He has 4 play-makers and 3 of them are good individual defenders, plus Vital. This Baylor team would be good with anyone coaching.
Scott Drew is a poor man’s John Calipari.

I had been defending Drew a bit lately but he got his ass kicked today.

It was a coaching clinic by Bill though. We bricked threes and the officiating kept Baylor in it.

Pretty sure we didn’t make a 3 in the second half
-
@FarmerJayhawk Correct the three makes were all in the first half.
-
@BShark I’m just not quote confident in our treys right now. Maybe it’s the consistency more so than the ability. We’ve got the snipers, but Moss and Ochai just don’t seem to be too confident. If they are on, they are on. But if we dial a trey, I kinda cringe at each attempt. I hope we continue to manage the treys when needed, but not to the point of relying on them to win games. We’ve got to make teams pay when we dish from inside. Again, we have the shooters and when left open, a kick to the trey, and they have to sink those for teams backing off the arc and collapsing the lane.
Love this guy’s game
JoJo was interviewed and getting ready to play.
-
Great night to be a Jayhawk. Going to watch JoJo and the Sixers.
-
@truehawk93 We just have to get something from Ochai just have to get something. - -Zero points in this game , need contribution for sure come tourney time.
