@StrongArmCobra disagrees, because it makes sense.RatherBeBrewing said:Okay, time to roll. Child's explanation for SAC.
Part 1: Why UO settled
Universities and school districts carry a lot of insurance. A FUCKING LOT. You want to sue them, because they will settle more often than not if a case has even a shred of liability. Why? Because this guy
Has unlimited time, while a large institution will hire an outside firm to represent them. U of O has in-house counsel, but they exist for procedural nothings. Anytime there is a serious risk (like when there is a chance of going over policy limits) whether you're a large company or whatever, you hire an outside firm. You don't use the insurance company's lawyer, because it's this guy:
A phone call there, and a phone call there, and an investigator and a paralegal will get you to $800k in no time. It's just easier for you and your insurance company to settle. Out of that $800k only a tiny fraction comes from the university. An $800k settlement in a case like this is basically just getting it off your desk. If it went to an actual trial U of O would have (most likely) easily won. You were gangraped by Oregon basketball players, who people said you were with willingly and were never criminally charged, and then you proceeded to keep fucking other Oregon basketball players that same week? Holy shit, that's the easiest defense ever. But anyone will settle in that case, because YOUR INSURANCE PAYS FOR IT and your costs are equivalent to a week's pay for your head counsel.
Meanwhile, the three basketball players had an even flimsier tort. It was dismissed a few weeks ago. You can get a lot of shit without merit dismissed with minimal effort, which was the case here.
Part 2: Basketball
I don't understand how even the doogiest doog can think Hopkins has anything on Altman.
Hopkins at Washington: 48-22 .686
Altman at Oregon: 235-96 .71
Altman has been to six tourneys, four Sweet Sixteens, two Elite Eights, and one Final Four in nine years. He is BY FAR the most accomplished coach in the Pac-12 just based off his time at Oregon, before you include his past at Creighton. There are probably ten or fifteen coaches in college basketball who you would rather have, and none of them coach in this conference.
Jesus, how the fuck is this even a debate? One guy has coached in 14 tournaments and the other in one. At least wait until Hopkins does something with his guys instead of Romar's. Will he lead Washington to a better program than Oregon's? Maybe. Why don't you wait some time to see, it will take a while.
Part 3: "Tae" Williams
This kid is really good at football, but he also had two kids and two schools before he turned 17. He committed to Oregon 10 months before he visited. Will he wind up at Oregon? Probably not, but he has a higher chance of being an impact player than any defender going to a Pac-12 school this year. Unless Flowe goes to USC or Smalls to Oregon. That's why you put up with his bullshit, and if you get him in the end it's a home run but if you don't at least you struck out swinging instead of being a pussy recruiter who is looking for "good guys." -
Lol I heard some wild shit about the Jameis case

I agree with everyone but Self. Kansas fans have wanted to fire Self for the last 4-5 years. He has been extremely mediocre given the talent he’s had. And yes he did recruit talent, but basketball recruiting at Kansas is like football recruiting at Florida St., Alabama, and Ohio st. It isn’t that hard.dnc said:Creep does raise a good point on the definition of elite. To me it's like top 5ish in the nation, but we can be generous and expand it to top 10. There's no way elite goes beyond that.
And "coach" encompasses everything a HC is responsible for, including hiring assistants, recruiting, evaluation and x's and o's.
Elite coaches (not necessarily in order)
K
Calipari
Roy
Izzo
Wright
Others in top 10
Bennett
Self
Few
Marshall
Beard
Altman is in the Rick Barnes/Bruce Pearl/Matt Painter tier. You're not taking him over any of those ten guys I listed.

Not sure about Few either. He gets a yearly pass into the show. Yeah, he's made deep runs and he's clearly a good coach, but for as automatic as it is for them to get there, he should have a ring by now.greenblood said:

Kansas fans also have incredibly high standards.greenblood said:

I don't love Bill Self but I'd take him over Dana Altman. He took Tulsa to the E8 in three years. Added another E8 in his three years at Illinois.
He's damn good. -
What happened when Self and Altman went head to head?dnc said:

Altman learns three of his players have been accused of a gang rape...
...proceeds with business as usual. -
And again, I'm not from Tacoma, ya little bitch. If I was, I'd rep Tacoma all day.creepycoug said:
@StrongArmCobra is a self-loathing black man from Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood who wants desperately to be accepted by upper middle-class white society, which he interprets as UW fandom.dnc said:
It's not rape if it's not rape. Her own friends say she was bragging about it. Go ahead and lynch the black cockus though, RacistBannon.RaceBannon said:I think @PDXDuckFan gave me his classic Racist Bannon rant over this case
Sold out three brothers in the Yuge w/o even looking at the police report. All to substantiate a desperately stupid argument about a basketball coach. Dude would sell his mother, assuming he knows who she is, for a nickel and a used Husky T-shirt.
Sad and disgraceful. So sad. So disgraceful.
Lol accepted by white society? I don't give a fuck what white folk think. Half of them are just regular poor white trash like you living in bum fuck nowhere eating themselves to an early grave. -
If we are bashing eating fast food then i’m out!
