Sometimes IT JUST DOES. So your justifications are valid, but my questions/justifications on the other side are "**** happens".....lmao...unreal.

Why did the perfect storm of events occur to allow North Iowa to beat Kansas, who no doubt had vastly superior LP and PER ratings to theirs and whose shooters were no doubt significantly better than North Iowa's shooters. You're comparing real life where ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN to a sim that's limited (and rightfully so) by players with hard ratings. Why did the perfect storm happen to enable North Iowa to win a game they had no business even contending in? Again, your best response to my questions is "**** happens"....NOT GOOD ENOUGH, period....not valid AT ALL.

Oh I forgot. Real life is irrelevant to you. . No, people like you fail to realize how DIFFERENT HD and real life are...and I can't help that ignorance.

Really? Why not? Why would you not put your best gameplan out there, and why should it not increase your chances of getting beat if you do a ****** job coaching?

For you not to have gone uptempo vs. a team with only seven scholarship players ... you need to look inward. That's an embarrassing rookie mistake.



Remeber dalt, coaches don't matter at all. They can't be thrown into OTR and therefore are meaningless.

Glad we can all rest easy tonight and not lose sleep over this.

That leads to a C- FT shooter going 0-5?

so he missed the D, so what? the rest of his explanation is valid, and he didn't point out that you definitely should have played a +D.

the real problem you are having here is that your basic explanation is "i shouldn't have to gameplan against a bad team"... well, you should gameplan against them, or you shouldn't complain when the result doesn't go your way.

come join me in the Upstate in Wooden. Lots of good coaches there who will be happy to help you out...

I'm not looking for help, and that's no disrespect to anyone here...I just play my own way and that's the way I've always done things and its the way I will always do things. I will succeed or fail on my own merit...I don't want to play how dalter plays or how wronoj plays or how billy_g plays, I'm going to play how colonels19 plays now and forever, and if that means I'm never more than mediocre, then so be it...I'm completely comfortable with that. If you want to hate on me for not wanting/asking for help, then fair enough I guess...I'm not your average Joe


If you're not looking for help, then why are you asking us to explain why your team lost? Like you wouldn't and aren't going to take that info and adjust your team and gameplan accordingly. Just because you don't specifically say "help me", doesn't mean you're not asking for help.

You're not fooling anyone here and frankly, your games and rhetoric are starting to get stale. And by the way, I'm not your average Joe either. Hell, that's not even my name.......

To attempt to see if there's some reason/realm where this loss makes sense....and not surprisingly, it doesn't. Like you wouldn't and aren't going to take that info and adjust your team and gameplan accordingly. Considering I think I should have won that game hands down without adjusting my gameplan? I would play that game over again the exact same way...its you skewing this argument into something that isn't. I'm asking someone to tell/show me how I lost, and the explanations simply don't add up. Just because you don't specifically say "help me", doesn't mean you're not asking for help. Spin it how you like, I'm not asking for help, I didn't say, what can I do next time so this wouldn't happen, I'm ****** that I lost a gimme win game, PERIOD!

You're not fooling anyone here and frankly, your games and rhetoric are starting to get stale. And by the way, I'm not your average Joe either. Hell, that's not even my name....... Not funny

With this Armstrong Atlantic team, you've consistently scheduled very weak. So that's happened? Season 42: 21 wins, 116 rpi. S43: 19 wins, 140 rpi. S44: 17 wins, 170 rpi. Not even a sniff of the PIT. Your point? I'm a scrub pounder, that's how I play the game...I understand that is hasn't exactly paid off, but what exactly does this have to do with anything in question?

So despite the fact that you've seen three seasons in a row that this strategy has backfired horribly for you, what do you do? Schedule another sim-laden, easy schedule. Because its who I am and its what I do...again, how does this apply to the Montevallo game? Do you see me ******** about my low RPI because I've had SOS over 250 the last 3 seasons....huh?

You're just not interested or able to learn from your mistakes and improve, and that inability pervades everything you do in HD, including having to have this conversation 100x. I shouldn't have to adjust my gameplan to win that game, period. I bet if you ask WIS to sim that game 10 times right now, that I win all 10 by a significant margin. I'll bet my HD playing days on that.

Yet you continue to shake your head vigorously and say, "No way I should've lost that game".

I'm sorry, that's not correct and you've been shown why by half a dozen different people. Your unwillingness or inabilty to process that information is a big part of your downfall. You all have attempted to justify the result, and given all the factors, it simply doesn't equate to a 3 point loss against a terrible team...it doesn't. Its a gimme win and I lost...that's bullshit.

You don't want to learn or improve I never asked to do either in this thread or in other threads, and you can spin my "cries for help" all you want, talk about seeing something that just isn't there., you only want to do things a certain way and then complain if your expectations aren't met, regardless of how skewed and uninformed those expectations are. The game is a gimme, bottom line...if you can't see that, then I don't know what else to say. This was a lock...how you can't/dont/refuse to see that is beyond me.

MY POINT? My point is that you are a person who only wants to do thing one way, no matter how stupid it is. You have a total inability to change, even when something flat-out isn't working, and that plays VERY directly into this conversation.



So despite the fact that you've seen three seasons in a row that this strategy has backfired horribly for you, what do you do? Schedule another sim-laden, easy schedule. Because its who I am and its what I do...again, how does this apply to the Montevallo game? Do you see me ******** about my low RPI because I've had SOS over 250 the last 3 seasons....huh?

AGAIN, it's because it shows for the umpteenth time that the problem here is that you make the same mistakes repeatedly, refuse to change or listen to anyone else, and then wonder aloud why the same crappy result keeps happening.



You're just not interested or able to learn from your mistakes and improve, and that inability pervades everything you do in HD, including having to have this conversation 100x.

YOU'RE WRONG. It's already been established that your team wasn't THAT much better, and you had other things working against you as well (FT, HCA). This is why it's all tied in together -- you will only do things one way even if it makes no sense. You can't go through HD like that, and you can't go through life like that.
