Norm was a good coach, but he doesn't deserve the pedestal - zounami MU - 4/2 11:43:00

...and I'll add, the Norm-worship is why we ended up with KA - zounami MU - 4/2 11:44:06

Poor and illogical attempt to degrade Norm, even if true - Cole Thornton MU - 4/2 11:53:06

Even if you assume that, the fact remains that KA never - zounami MU - 4/2 12:02:19

you're one of the few non-really-old fans who feel that way - zounami MU - 4/2 11:11:55

The word Fiji used that goes over your head is context - hou4mu MU - 4/2 11:25:21

Fiji doesn't watch or follow basketball (nm) - Columbian Gold MU - 4/2 13:35:54

speaking of context, when did I say Norm was a failure?... - zounami MU - 4/2 11:35:46

You're willing to never hire Norm and take your chances - hou4mu MU - 4/2 11:46:13

You “think we’d be better off if we never hired Norm” - Cole Thornton MU - 4/2 11:45:00

yes, and I explained why... - zounami MU - 4/2 11:46:00

Yes, but you’re a fvcking idiot that knows nothing - Jeff85 MU - 4/2 13:20:31

Norm had multiple teams that were final four worthy - KC rules MU - 4/2 11:31:20

24 seasons without Norm. How's that working out? - hou4mu MU - 4/2 10:52:04

Two Elite 8 appearances in the first decade after Norm... - zounami MU - 4/2 10:56:35

Gosh, if only Haith had stayed. Order the Final Four banners - hou4mu MU - 4/2 11:09:23

actually, Tulsa's best NCAAT seed this *century* was under - zounami MU - 4/2 11:13:48

Yes, Tulsa fans don't wish for the Richardson or Self eras - hou4mu MU - 4/2 11:30:55

That was the previous century, certainly not what Haith - zounami MU - 4/2 11:33:57

10 of those seasons were lost due to the Kim Anderson hiring - zounami MU - 4/2 10:53:58

10 seaons? Now you're drifiting into Fijiesque delusions - hou4mu MU - 4/2 11:01:47

yes, Kim destroyed our BB brand and made it more difficult - zounami MU - 4/2 11:10:14

with that said, I wouldn't trade places with KU or UConn... - zounami MU - 4/2 10:40:06
