At this point my greatest curiosity is how Miller came to decide on Murph to fill the spot. 1. Clean 2. Good eye for talent/recruiting, good ties to Las Vegas namely 3. Build back any good will Miller may have lost with the alumni due to the bad press and such #3 is virtually the foundation, at lea...

The non-conference portion for NAU is usually played in the Rolle Activity Gym until football ends and the Dome gets setup. Last year they play 8/9 of their first games on the road; they went 1-8. And those Rolle games are so much more alive. The Dome is a part of my growing up. More for high schoo...

I'm not even sure curtains would help. It would give a weird enclosed dimension with an incredibly high roof. Domes like Syracuse sort of work because the layout can flow with 3 sides of normal stands. NAU has one side of normal stands, max. It is Idaho, not Idaho State. I goofed that. Here is a yo...

The Jack Murphy makes me question what might happen to Arizona here. You would like to think that Murphy would demand that he get the whole story from Miller before he resigned a head coaching job to become an assistant. Makes me think that hardly anything if not nothing is going to happen to Arizo...

Do you guys even work? :D I was able to watch, mostly listen to the game at work on my phone with SlingTV. I had to look busy. :) I guess the only difference for me is I didn't have to look busy because I am an individual contributor who sits nearly alone in an office building (my suite mate is in ...

the PAC 12 CWS continues tomorrow. UCLA got in a bit of a jam in game 2 but pulled away for the win over Minnesota.

So we meet again...

is this... wait for the very overplayed comparison... like...the...1997 basketball team? I mean, a bunch of juniors, one year early. Getting it done. Huh? Just kidding. Really, making it to OKC was the pressure valve. I don't think we have the depth of pitching to win the WCWS, especially in the cur...

seriously...approach with 2 outs is the same as with none, extended at bat with fouls, gets the single. Then the HR... Approach, approach, approach. Easy to get a low energy AB with 2 out, no one on chance against a dominant pitcher. But a plate protecting AB with a single gets another set of eyes i...

too bad the bottom of the lineup was up with that 1st and 2nd and no outs, but one of the first two outs at least needs to be productive...

The 2nd K took a lot of pressure off...

EVCat

Good position...the one we are down is basically over, down 3 through 14, but our leads have increased...Moore is up 2 through 13 and Hou is up 4 through 12.

So the two ties are through holes 12 and 11, and our best player, Pags, is the senior anchor against a freshman.

Fuck Duke!

EVCat

Haley is so flippin' clutch. And she is starting to get going again today. Not sure I agree with taking her off the anchor...Pags is our best overall golfer, but Moore has shown the guts it takes to close match play in big situations time and again. But either way, I feel good knowing that we are a ...

Finally he claims people in the Arizona administration are telling him they are concerned. You'd have to be dead, or at least braindead not to be. Concerned? Aren't we all?

If I'm Candrea I start Gina Snyder vs Harvard with Hanah Bowen on standby, Taylor vs AU/CSU, Denham game 1 of the finals and Taylor if needed for game 2. Candrea never does that.

Seems like Choo, maybe others, have hinted that the DD thing might not be 100% about ability, but also fit/chemistry?

Miller seems to get a lot of criticism for squandering these top recruiting classes year after year, and it got me wanting to revisit some of these monster classes. I didn't compare them to other top classes or who Miller could have gotten instead. There are a whole lot of misses based on the star ...

I don't know how Arizona can be considered the elite of the elite amongst cheaters when I see Kentucky & Duke consistently pulling the elite of the elite recruits.

I love the game too much. Yeah, I was more likely to watch on DVR and not cancel events this last year than in past years.

With all this talent and if we still see mid major miller ball and no FT then it’s time to ask some serious questions. A LOT of freshmen here...and a lot of meshing of talent with talent.

What i am saying is a coach can be terminated without legal recourse for the AD just wanting to go in a new direction. No case for termination needs to be made.

There is a buyout, however

EVCat

The whole "it is nearly impossible to fire a university employee" bit above, while somewhat true, doesn't apply here. We could fire him because we didn't like last season, want a new coach, don't like the bad publicity, woke up and decided to do so, etc. We don't need to make the case to fire him ot...

Is it worth fighting all this, and keep taking PR hits if we fire Miller in 3-5+ years because he can't get to a Final Four?

RiseAndFail is currently hoping all this intelligent, nuanced strategy talk dies down so he can post, “Sean Miller is a big dumb doo-doo head who never tells his team to run faster!” I honestly believe a casual fan just sees that it takes a couple more seconds to break the zone, or 3 or 4 consecuti...

To this point, we keep hearing how bad we are against the zone. Because, fans perceive anything that isn't early offense as being "stopped". Every frickin' team on our schedule, outside other teams perceived as elite, ran zone against us. We saw it every game, sometimes from teams that barely ran zo...
