Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Is it pointless to root for UW to lose to SC?

Everyone remembers (at least I thought they did) "Final Four in '84", when Seattle was hosting its first Final Four in like 30 years, and the UW had a real team. And when we defeated Duke in Pullman to get to the Sweet Sixteen, it was still a remote possibility (we still had Dayton and Georgetown in the way) but it was still possible. That was the '83-'84 season, 31 years ago. You will remember the following year's ('84-'85) schedule poster had the photo of Detlef after the dunk at the end of the triple overtime game against UCLA.
30 years ago, the '84-'85 season was Marv's last year, when we were a 5 seed and lost to Kenny Walker and Kentucky.
'86 Russo some how got in, and Welp almost defeated Scott Skiles and MSU by himself, except our Bryce Drew Valpo moment did not materialize after Welp tipped the inbound to Moscatel, who missed the jumper at the buzzer. -
Myabe... But Marv also lost to Scott Skiles and Michigan State in the NCAA, which was either '85 or '86. Russo took over in '87, which was Welp's last season, and we went to the NIT. I was at Welp's last home game, which was the opening round of the NIT.

I take it back, I'm wrong. I just looked it up. Marv's last year was '85, like you said. I don't remember Russo leading us to the NCAAs.
How do you fire a guy (Harshman) who has just won back-to-back Pac-10 titles? -

In all honesty, I wasn't born yet so I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to Husky Basketball in the 80s. I've looked up old highlights of the Germans, but that is about it. -

What the fuck does "being good for the community" mean and how do you quantify that one
-
Which coaches aren't good for the community? Is there a program that exclusively recruits serial rapists that go around raping people on campus? That wouldn't be good for the community. Jerry Sandusky probably wasn't good for the community.
The vast majority of coaches don't break the law, pay taxes, and maybe donate to charities. Romar isn't doing anything special in this regard.

Here's what I love about the Romar excuse making ... now it's just turned into "how can you possibly win when all of your bigs are hurt?"
Hmmm ... let me count the ways:
1. Play some some aggressive full court fucking defense and turn that into your offense. (See VCU)
2. Have some athletic perimeter guys who can slash and score. (See Dayton)
3. Slow it down and play multiple zone defenses that keep you in a ball game. (See Virginia)
4. Send all 5 guys to the boards and rebound like your life depends on it. (See West Virginia)
5. Run an offense that is built around hoisting up so many 3's some are bound to go in. (See Davidson)
You do NOT need a stud center to win in college. You need coaching and/or players. We have neither.
Who's fucking fault is that?
