Posted Wednesday September 23, 2009, About: USC student paper: Carroll outcoached

Yeah, Caroll sucks. His Trojans have only been in the top 10 for how long?; is a top recruiter; sent many many players to the NFL; coached in the NFL, etc etc, yeah, he sucks. Yeah, that's it, its the chicks on the beaches... Homers.

i wouldn't bring in pete caroll's nfl experience, from what i recall his teams didnt do so hot. he coached a shiity jets team and took over in NE for parcells after the superbowl, and the team went on to lose more games every year he was there then the previous one.

and as for what hes done at usc, hes won one and a half national titles, even when the talent on those teams were far superior to other teams . a great coach gets his team to play against everybody not just against top teams. since the leinart bush et al team went to the nfl, all he has been able to do is win the rose bowl against the worst conference in the bcs. and on top of that, there is maybe one or two teams a year in the pac 10 that worth a damn, so winning that league isnt all that difficult.
the one thing ill give him his props for is his ability to recruit, but with norm chow and rick nuehisal at UCLA, looks like recruiting all the top talent in Cali just got a whole lot more difficult and it will be interesting to how if USC cankeep up its dominance

Championship teams always have a good center or power forward! Always!

that is bs. i dont believe jordan ever had a dominant post player, just him and pippen. wade and lebron would be better than jordan and pippen. with some good role players they would dominate the league the same way the bulls did

Posted Tuesday June 03, 2008, About: D-Wade hears Bulls trade rumors

the heat would never ever trade wade and the number 2 pick for anything other than a 22 yr old Michael Jordan. rose may be good but he is not an established superstar who almost singlehandedly won a championship just 2 years ago. this is some dumb writer in Chicago trying to make waves. there cant possibly be any truth to this. the more likely scenario if Chicago takes rose is to draft Beasley and trade Haslem to Toronto for ideally Calderon, but more likely TJ Ford. this would give the heat the point guard they need to run their offense and give Toronto the big man they need to help Bosh out defensively and on the boards. giving the heat the lineup of:
C Zo
F Beasley
F Marion
SG Wade
PG Calderon or Ford
thats clearly a playoff team in the weak east. this team could be a very good running team with zo starting a break with a monster block or marion with a steal and with ford racing the ball upcourt along side wade marion and beasley they would have plenty of finishers. in the half court you can play pick and roll all day with wade and beasley.
