Larry + Nike Can turn any program around.

Larry + Nike could reopen St. Benedicts of Atchison, take it to D1, and win 25.

Unfortunately, Larry seems to bend the rules everywhere he has coached. UCLA, KU and now SMU all got probation…and we just recently learned that KU came close to getting the death penalty…

I like Brown as a coach but frankly, I would not want him back at KU…

I agree that there is a series of dots with Larry. And every where that Larry went, the swoosh has apparently been there, too. Hmmmm.

Well, Nike works with lots of schools that don’t have dots. Hmmmmm.

What to think?

Has any one looked into whether Larry and WWW have had a relationship at all similar to the one reputed between Cal and WWW over the years?

Or with Sonny and Nike, as Dean and Roy reputedly had?

As tight as Cal is REPUTEDLY with both WWW and LB , I wonder if WWW and LB have a relationship, too?

Maybe some one will have heard and chime in.

Me too, but not at KU…just not worth the risk…

Looks like Larry is on his last coaching stop anyway…

C5 = Composite 5 at the 5 position. I came up with it to describe Self’s rotation of 5 bigs at the 5 and their combined scoring, rebounding and blocks that complements stretch 4 Perry at the 4. The idea is Self can play C5 at the 5 and force opposing centers to prepare for and play against 5 different centers with 20 fouls to give. Typically Self tries all 5 of them the first half and settles on 2 the second half. Two of the five, usually Bragg and Traylor also back up Perry… So: the end result is that C5 staffs the 5 position all the time and when stretch 4 Perry needs a blow Self effectively switches to C5 staffing both post positions. The C5 has averaged double doubles most games and has been 15/15 or 17/17 the last few games against top competition. Our C5 is a big part of why the team is so strong.

I used to give it in one sentence, but there were always follow ups querying about all the things I mentioned, so now I give all the information at once and you want one sentence. No good deed goes unpunished.

Actually, c5 is much more concise and accurate than center by committee, because committee implies group think which is not present in a center rotation.

Maybe CR5 = center rotation 5.

I’m always open to more accuracy, rather than more imprecision.

Or u can always use “Inglorious Basterds” which others have adopted . I am amenable to either, as long as fans appreciate how extraordinary what Self is doing at the 5 truly is!!!

I posted during the WUG that Nic’s biggest contribution would be the impact he had on Mason and Graham…I believe I was correct…YAY!
