day of the HD season? I get excited about many days. And I can't make a poll like the great Benis does. So I'll do it the cheap way!

A. Start of National Tournament
B. Start of Recruiting
C. Start of RS2
D. Season Changeover
E. Other (explain)

I'll go D.... I love when I get to see my new recruits on my team finally. And also the offseason improvements of my upperclassmen.

D. Without a doubt! I love welcoming the boys to campus, setting practice plans and such.

First cycle of RS2 for me.

I wrestled with this one. It's mine too, in a way. Being a D2 coach. But I passed on this one because sometimes that day brings terrible news as well!

E. The day after I inevitably lose in the NT when I have climbed down from the ledge, and moved on from my constant failure ready to tackle the next season.

This is how I feel roughly every other day at 2:07 a.m. EST.

B. -- I probably get the most excited about the first day or two of recruiting when I can go after my top targets and then shift off as needed and see the future forming before my eyes.

Except in Rupp it is A because I'm always celebrating getting the hell out of conference play and into some easier games for a night or two typically.

A, C, & D.

D. Unless I have a legit Final Four contender, in which case my answer is A.

I just love seeing the new guys on the team and figuring out my depth chart and game planning stuff.

I'll teach you how to make a badass poll one day. It takes some practice.

For me its A for sure.

D for me. Scouting and ranking recruits, plus seeing if there are any with ridiculous names that are both good and gettable for my teams is the best.

I await the day that my poll can be as great as yours!

(What?!)

A. The excitement of all the potential possibilities! What would make HD more fun and add a ton of participation would have users fill out brackets and/or guess who will be the NC for their respective divisions. People who guess correctly get a few dollars worth of credit.

B. Start of recruiting

B and D. E (conference tourney) is very close.

C is maybe a little more fun for D2 and D3. At D1, it always feels a day too long.
