1638733338721804289 | @AudacityOfHoops @JohnGasaway Kansas has never had a black head coach. But having only five coaches since 1956 and two since 1989 explains why | 0 |

1639829848297205760 | Ok fine this is a good argument from @JohnGasaway, the Big East experiment. Though I suspect the 45-second shot clock and the fact it was early 90s basketball also played big roles. Moving from 6 fouls in conference play to 5 in the NCAAT sounds like a nightmare. https://t.co/ovPUJz3PPN | 10 |
