GDT: NCAA Hoops thread

I appreciated Hurley's comments on strategy: we don't force our players into a system, we design a system around our players - one that accentuates their talents and abilities.

Kentucky still has no coach. I still stand by my offer that I'm interested and available. What they got to lose?

Here's a basketball schedule format I came up with for the ACC.

The 18 teams would be divided into pods as follows:

Boston College, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech
California, Louisville, Notre Dame, SMU, Stanford
Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami
Duke, North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest

Teams in the five-team pods always play each other twice a year, plus the 13 other schools once for 21 conference games.

Teams in the four-team pods will play at least twice a year, with Clemson-Georgia Tech and Florida State-Miami always playing thrice a year, and the Tobacco Road pod will rotate which match-ups get a third playing each year. Teams in these pods would play the other 14 ACC schools once a year to make up their 21-game conference schedule.

As I am proposing the ACC's 21 conference games each year would be second-most in Division I, behind only the Big Ten with 22 (which is accomplished by giving each school 5 opponents they play twice every year, and playing everyone else once, 6 home, 6 road, alternating locations every year).
