    White isn’t bad. A bad coach doesn’t make 4 out of 6 tournament bids (and likely 5 of 7 but for COVID). He’s pretty good. But he’s not great, so I’m glad he’s gone.

    After tonight I think I'd move Musselman to the top.

    I know a lot of folks hate White, but he is a much better coach than last in the SEC.

    Let’s pump the brakes on Musselman. Need to see how far they go and how consistent he is. Mike White made an Elite 8 and people here think he was average. Need to keep that same energy for no-shirt Musselman.

    No need to pump anything. I'm not a big fan of his antics, but the guy has turned around the Arkansas program and made 2 straight elite 8s. He made the NCAAs 3 of 4 seasons including a sweet 16 at mighty Nevada. He can coach and doesn't have the sleeze of Pearl.

    Barnes and Oats overrated here.
    Jans is an excellent coach
    Stackhouse is a better game coach than several on the list.

    Top tip: we can have a healthy basketball debate like gentlemen without negative ratings. Bacon is a surefire way to get me to stop conversing with you.

    Muss got a TON of help from the officials last night but overall he has done it at Nevada and Arky. He is right behind Cal Pearl and Barnes

    I kind of like the antics. He’s letting out his emotions instead of hiding them. I have not noticed him being disrespectful to the other team. Remember Joakim’s victory dance? I loved it.

    Personally, I prefer a reply even if it’s negative. At least then I know why you don’t like my post, and it’s often for a good reason.

    I'm just telling you about my personal preference when people engage me in healthy debate. Obviously, you are free to do as you like.

    He has certainly fired up the Hog faithful, which isn't all that hard. Just not a big fan of his antics after a win. Seems a bit over the top. Still, if he wins, he can do what he wants.

    I don't mind negative replies. I just find it strange when someone wants to debate with you and negative rates you. You and I have shared many disagreements over the years. I don't recall either one of us negatively rating the other.

    You know what... I think it's good for him and Arky. It just makes me want to see him lose. ;)

    If it's a new take ok, but without the agree/disagree buttons u get a bunch of repetitive posts saying exactly the same thing which is pretty boring. JMO.

    In that case I did both, disagreed and replied.

    Wasnt actually looking for a debate just supporting an opinion. Sorry, u take these emoji things personally. I'm sure I've given u plenty of agrees over time. :)
