I’m thinking of Creighton. Him and Fidler can both go there and immediately have a chance at a good tourney run. McDermott is a great coach. I can’t blame him if that’s where Chuckie is going.
That's fine - McDermott is fine as a coach and like I said, I have taken my opinion of Gard down a few notches in the new era...
But going to Creighton with a guy that sucked against major competition (Fidler) and just bringing Fidler along with to Wisconsin probably would've given a pretty similar chance at a "title run." It's not like Chucky is going to Arkansas with Cal and some acquisition of like 5 of the highest priced pickups...this is full-well knowing that Creighton may be flush with some basketball cash.
Creighton made the elite 8 and sweet 16 the last two years. 2017 was so long ago.
Boy, that means Purdue is probably **** in this era. By the way, I've been in a coma for a calendar year.
I'm not trying to argue for Gard here and the economics may currently shift to Creighton - but to "win a championship" they have pretty similar odds most years.
If he goes to Creighton or a similar program for $ for himself or because he knows said program has more $ now, great.
If he goes to another program that is roughly on the same plane as Wisconsin to "win a championship" because he believes in the "tournament coaching" fairy as some of you do, then he's an idiot.
