If I had access I could find it fairly quick. The coach had a real name as his coach name, and it was a year or 2 ago. Name was like ron or bill or something as the coach if I recall. Another team in the east area did it to and it was on the forums, but bad memory = I can't even toss out a schools name. It wasn't worlds iba, wooden or rupp. And knight/phelen are to new.

If thats a real question, my guess is its lol with the F bomb thrown in for maturity.

Not surprising, more excuses.

EVEN IF IT HAS, your claim is that if it happened one time out of 351000+ times that I'm very likely to see and deal with this on a regular basis...HILARIOUS....I'd like to mention, its STILL unproven.

0.01 percent is one out of 10,000...your probability is 35 times worse than this and you're still pitching this...this needs to be put in a vault somewhere, really.

You aren't even interested in the possibility that you COULD be wrong. . . .Its the worst, most ridiculous claim I've ever seen made, period. Even if he finds 1 out of 351000+, he loses, because that only means its happened 3500+times less than 1%

People are pointing out flaws and your only reaction to every flaw is to try to mock it, deflect it, or personally attack the person bringing it up. I've addressed and owned up to everything, if I haven't, find it.

And if the ratings don't work for rating teams themselves THEY _BY DEFINITION_ CANNOT WORK FOR SOS If the ratings determine the outcomes in the game....I think they work for themselves..., which is only an aggregate rating of a bunch of individual teams.

To be honest guys, I'm not even entirely sure what lofl means, when my friend and I text its a step above lol on the comedy hierarchy lol.

Except that not all of the ratings affect actual gameplay. That seems to be the major flaw here.
