@EMAWCaleb I caught on after I read the replies lmao. Wasn’t so sure on Abdi until the last few days with him “coaching” and then being the hype man last night. Good light personality to bring everyone together.
@EMAWCaleb They were. Ochai was a cold blooded shot maker. I didn’t like Braun when he was there but I enjoy him with the Nuggets. I pretty much despised the rest of that team though (bias)
@EMAWCaleb I was thinking last night that this is the least unlikeable (most likeable? *ducks*) KU team in my lifetime, at least for me. Maybe it was the game or the fact K-State has never been worse, but it’s refreshing to see a high motor and give-a-shitter on the court.
@EMAWCaleb The other thing I failed to mention on 4-team pods: play a 4-team, two-week conference championship tournament with the pod winners. More games, more TV, more $
@EMAWCaleb Exactly. Unfortunate thing is you’d have to have two 10-team divisions if you wanted a round robin, or you’d only play two teams from the other 8-team division every four years. It works, but it’s all a matter of what one would envision/define as “ideal”
@EMAWCaleb I personally favor the latter but it would be harder to move to. How do you break up and reform conferences, and who gets to decide in the first place? No home CFP games either.
The former is more achievable but you’re right back where you started with not playing everybody
@EMAWCaleb I think you could fix unbalanced schedules one of two ways:
4-team pods for the 16 team conferences. Build a schedule template. You’d still have holes and have to fix tie breakers
Have eight 10-team conferences. Round robin, CCG is the play-in to an 8-team playoff
@EMAWCaleb Arguably the worst stretch of play since at least 2018 if not since Ron Prince. Didn’t even recognize my team. No discipline or fundamentals.
@EMAWCaleb …
- 7 gets the most weight because regardless of how well the staff could’ve possibly motivated them, basically nobody on the field acted like they wanted to be there until it was pretty much already too late

- 3 & 5 could be combined into “not enough spring ball/fall camp,” which means it probably deserves more weight than I’m giving it

@EMAWCaleb …
- Wells gets less blame, I think he’s been less influential than other things on the list. He’s been relatively avg with higher peaks and lower valleys
- I’m rating 1 and 2 equal because they’re correlated, and I’m giving some weight to the butterfly effect
