This should leave FAU’s roster much more open to getting their top three players to transfer to the good guys with their sensei. 

Narratives surrounding JJ…

Inaccurate narratives surrounding JJ and his limited skill set in a run-first offense have been highly impactful. The fact that he is an incredible and gifted player with all of the athletic tools, intellectual ability, and intangibles you could ever hope for means his ascent will eventually win the day. We have seen this inevitable reality occurring over these last couple of months.

Brain categorically rejected his candidacy on the podcast by scoffing and not allowing a logical discussion about his potential. That was a bit irksome - as Brian is usually about as conscientious as anyone when it comes to coaching hires.

I touched a nerve Johnny - and what hurts the most is that my logic is sound. 

I’d like to see 14-17 Brown…

But…

Brown lost. And didn’t make the tournament. And definitely didn’t pull off a massive upset. They went 0 for 2 on the criteria above. That’s not near as close as you are indicating.  By my logic, they didn’t check either box to consider their coach.  Don’t set up a straw man argument - it’s unbecoming. 
 

But Yale? Yeah, they checked both boxes.  I want to consider that coach. By the way, super impressive composure and demeanor from their coach during and after the game!
 

I don’t obsess over the hypothetical Ivy championship that almost occurred like you seem to. However, given your obsession with the missed Brown free throws, you must then look at the second part of the hypothetical, which would involve the biggest upset of all time. I’d like to see 14-17 Brown beat #1 seed Houston (which is who they would face). That would check both boxes, and hell yes I would want to at least consider the coach who pulls off the single biggest upset in college bball history

You don’t make the…

You don’t make the tournament based on a single random game or two.  Making the tournament is a huge part of any coach’s body of work. And, winning huge single games cannot be understated in college bball. 

I do agree that candidacy should be based on the whole body of work. Yet, the single most important job in college bball is to make the tournament and have success there.  That is the key aspect to a successful body of work in this sport. 

Beilein far exceeded the…

Beilein far exceeded the above criteria

I respectfully disagree…

I respectfully disagree - although you articulated a very excellent point.  I think one should at least be considered with the above two credentials. Success in the tournament often comes down to a little luck.  Sometimes you need a little luck just to make the tournament. It’s skill to be in the position (making the tournament) and being in position in a close game again (scoring a massive upset against superior competition).  It doesn’t mean you blindly offer them the job - but to consider them just based on these two criteria is quite reasonable.  Adding the fact that Yale’s coach has a long wining track record and is an Olympic coach just further enhances the resume. The candidate pool should start out very wide if there is no Harbaugh or Beilein out there.  (Although there technically is a Beilein)

Beating Pitino at Louisville in his final game as a 7 vs 2 seed and knocking him out of college bball felt like knocking Saban out of college football. But the cockroaches can be hard to kill. Pitino popped back up, and we squashed  him again with our worst team ever. Will Saban come back?🪳🪳
