You’re saying Chris Mack can’t coach? This is what you’re saying?

Anthony grant had a 1 seed at Dayton and lost a lottery pick in the draft. Yes, Dayton is going to take a step back after losing a lottery pick.

What a weird argument, but I’m not surprised. You’re right, they can’t coach

Saying your shining examples of coaches who use the system Brannen wants to run aren't exactly having great success at their current schools. Taking a step back is one thing, but missing the NCAA tournament completely is another.

You’re doubling down on saying they are bad coaches?

Also, what’s your point? That they aren’t successful coaches and brannen won’t be either? What are you getting at

You are doubling down on putting words in my mouth.

Mack did great at Xavier. But Mack at Louisville, Grant at Dayton (and Alabama) and Brannen thus far have question marks. Maybe they all turn it around next year, but the system definitely doesn't make winning a sure thing.

Ok. What system makes winning a sure thing? I’d love to know. Mick just snuck in as an 11 seed and went to 1 sweet 16 in 12 years while here. Is that the system that is a sure thing?

No, no system is a sure thing. You nailed that. Congratulations

Did I say a system was a sure thing? I don’t remember saying that. Who’s putting words in mouths?
