Cody has a ways to go yet. He's just so frail.

Tad Boyle is the Greatest Coach in CU Men’s Basketball History

Thanks b_walk
Of all your ****ty takes, Tad loves participation trophies is probably your worst.
Don't dismiss Anderson without seeing him on the court.
I don't know. I think 4BT has many ****tier takes.
I think that picture comment was more about CU liking participation trophies (assuming Tad is brought back without a tournament bid) than Tad.
So instead of being a 10 out of 10 ****ty take, it's only a 9 out of 10?
Congrats B4TD!
Listen to the Drew Goodman story about speaking to Tad about making it to tournaments!
Tad is the all-time everything for CU without ever doing well in the tourney
He spoke about loving his team and everything but a tourney run
That is a participation medal
Happy Monday bitches
So everyone here also loves Participation Medals. Resetting expectations and will only post Tad backslaps so as to not be made fun of by the cool kids
My dude.
You were born in 1972. That means you are either 51 or 52. In your lifetime:
- CU has won one conference tournament.
- CU has won 3 NCAA Tournament games
- CU has won 11 NIT games
Serious question for you. Is Tad your coach for life at CU?
If RG is the AD? Yes.
Wrong takes guys
I am 51, the fun seasons that CU has had were great to watch for a round or two. So many great players did well for us fans, but my point was that Tad was in an interview stating that loving your team vs qualifying or winning tournament games is good enough.
The expectations and results fit the program and coach. Yay

I remember Harrington, Patton, and Bzdelik. Patton had his moments. Tad has made CU basketball a respectable watch and fits the definition of a participation medal program. Not trying to murder Tad, just quantifying it.
Tad's the coach, dumbf*ck. When he talks to the media, he's usually talking to his team, not to idots like you. He's decided that "you suck and are disappointing" is not the way to motivate this team, so he's approaching them in a different way. Telling them they are good and that their goals are still achievable if they believe in themselves and take each game as it comes.
Will it work? Who knows? But Tad was very hard on KJ his first two seasons, taking the "you suck" path of motivation. It didn't work out that well.
3/5 or 4/6 (if you include the Covid season) tournament appearances and 7/10 of CU’s 20+ win seasons under Tads watch came while RG was AD.
The basketball program was dog**** before RG got here, and while he didn’t hire Tad, has he really had a negative impact on the program or has he really limited Tad’s ceiling?
Just kind of feels like the Tad stans want to assign all success to Tad and none of the blame, while all the blame to RG and give him zero credit.
I wouldn't trust anything that Drew Goodman says to be honest.
I am old as dirt. I remember Walseth, Bill Blair (I did enjoy his teams), Tom Miller (Bobby Knight proteges) and Tom Apke.
I will take Tad Boyle teams any time. As long as RG is here, CU is not going to put big $$$ in to basketball.
If he wanted to, he could be doing what Mike Bohn did and taking students to the conference tourneys.
Mike Bohn got to fire and hire two different coaches and had zero success prior to his hiring of Tad. Is bringing students to the conference tournament really the benchmark here? What resources did Bohn put into MBB that RG hasn’t? Did the AD spend more on MBB pre 2013 than post 2013?
To flip this around, what, exactly, should RG get credit for WRT men's basketball?
Remember the guy they hired after Miller, who became an insurance executive after getting canned?

Tad does approach things differently. Did you see the post-game clip of Pitino completely ripping his players to the media. The players responded winning 3 straight and now on the bubble. It think it depends on the team and a coach. Pitino has a much better resume than Tad, to fall back on.
I’m not arguing the success or failures ride on Rick George. I’ve pointed out budgets and spending and favorably compared that to other programs. I’ve asked what resources RG needs to provide other than a new arena and better student marketing.
People want to point to CU basketball history as reason to defend Tad, but in the same breath blame RG for the program not succeeding enough. How does that reconcile?
