Maybe it was tornadoes. It wasn't the Hurricanes.

I don’t know it to be a fact, but Hurley was a high IQ PG for Duke in their heyday. That’s probably enough street cred to believe he’s likely better at Xs and Os than Underwood, who is pedestrian at Xs and Os.

As long as you totally ignore their results - and not just at ASU and Illinois, notably - then sure.

I'm not willing to ignore their actual, objective results to make an argument based on how I feel.

As an extreme illustrative example, it's kind of like saying that Roy Williams and John Groce are comparable coaches - sure one of them had notably better results than the other, but he got them at Kansas and UNC while the other got his at Illinois, Akron, and Ohio, so they're really comparable.  Switch Roy Williams at UNC and Groce at Illinois, which program turns out better?

Nah man, do Trubisky to Mahomes…

Only someone very stupid or very dishonest or both would still be making this claim, so I'm not surprised.

I do remember the time Trubisky was statistically on par with Mahomes, though.

This is really below your usual standard of work. Usually you make me work harder. For this example to be legit, both of the coaches have to be competent.

Let me ask you this way, Spark. If Hurley were the coach at Illinois; do you think his results would possibly be just as good (possibly even better) than Underwood. And yes, there’s a fair chance he’d be worse than Underwood. Or do you think his results would be exactly the same as ASU, because “they are both high majors” and there’s essentially no difference?

Yes.  Because we have hired better coaches.  We’ve hired guys like Henson and Kruger and Underwood that win games and take programs to the tournament consistently.  They’ve hired guys like Bobby Hurley and Herb Sendek that win fewer games and take programs to the tournament occasionally.

The difference in historical success isn’t because of the name on the front of the jersey.  It’s because of the guys we’ve had on the sidelines.  It’s not some inherent superiority.  We had a streak of hiring three great coaches in a row, and got great results.  When we hired two mediocre coaches in a row we got mediocre results, even though we were still Illinois Basketball.

How do you consider Bruce Weber a mediocre coach but not Underwood?

Underwood has far worse results.

But you are the guy that thinks Trubisky is similar to Mahomes lol

I think the Trubisky v Mahomes example is actually quite appropriate for this debate. Sometimes the “numbers” don’t tell the entire story.

Yep, over a 4-5 week stretch.  Me too.  Are you implying it didn't happen?

I also remember how you misrepresented that intentionally for literal years.
