Bill Self has the second-best active coaching resume behind Rick Pitino

Does Bill Self now, out of all the active coaches, have the second-best resume only to Rick Pitino? This second one for Bill Self puts him in rarefied air and it cements everything that he's done at Kansas. He has more wins than Jay Wright. He has gone to the tournament 23 straight years, and 12 out of those 23 he's gotten to at least the Elite Eight.

While subjective, Self's resume is widely considered top-tier. Pitino and Self are both Hall of Famers with multiple titles at multiple programs (though Pitino's titles are at two different schools).

Most sports fans no longer care about college athletes getting paid or schools facing NCAA violations

It is the perfect champion for this day and age where the rules have changed. I'd say most people don't give a fuck about college players getting paid whatsoever. And the NCAA has just been dragging their feet... they're giving a trophy to a school that is also facing violations.

Public apathy toward NCAA violations is an observable trend but ultimately a matter of opinion.

Kansas winning the 2022 national title is justice for their 2020 team having the tournament cancelled

It's justice though for Kansas for 2020, because going into that tournament... we I think we had Kansas number one overall seed. I think we picked them to win the championship in 2020 and the fake bracket. It's good to see Kansas get this bag.

This is a subjective interpretation of 'justice' in sports history.

Coach K's legacy is forever stained by losing his final home game and final tournament game to North Carolina

Coach K's legacy is also forever stained. If Bill Self lost two important games to end his season this year, we would put that as a big dock. He would not be in the Rick Pitino [tier]. Pitino remains unstained.

The games happened, but the 'stain' on his legacy is a matter of opinion. Most fans consider the losses historic, but his overall career remains legendary.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Big Cat predicted that LeBron James would announce his free agency decision at 9:00 PM on July 20, 2026. However, reports from July 20 and July 21, 2026, indicated that James had not yet made his decision, and his agent stated on July 21 that he did not know when the announcement would occur.
