Once the talent increases, the volatility should go down. Although she coaches like Pearl and his teams still have that same volatility.

Why? The system clearly works. She gave numerous top teams all they wanted this year with way less talent and beat UConn. Keep doing it with more talent and start winning those games.

Happy Monday

March 24, 2025: Shut out the noise of the world and current circumstances, and listen for God's still small voice. Put away all doubt and fear and enter His presence with thanksgiving in your heart. The Lord will speak clearly when you quiet your soul. Never doubt His ability to direct your path and show you the way. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Theoretically, because chaotic systems like hers tend to raise your ceiling and lower your floor. So you make a game like UConn winnable, but you also make yourself vulnerable to losing to 13-19 Georgia at home.

So, the question posed is, once she gets top-level talent and has less of a need to raise the ceiling of her team, will she adjust her system to make it less susceptible to upsets? I’m not advocating for it or against it, I’m just curious to see whether it happens.

I don't believe CKC will let off the gas in the future seasons but as the talent brought in gets stronger, I believe these 40 second subs will slow down.

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. Just that a fast-paced, quick shot, 40 minutes of hell type of scheme has its ups and downs. It’s only going to get better with more consistent talent and more years together as a team.

What Kim has done in year one with what is essentially a brand new team is nothing short of miraculous.

Great thoughts! Georgia certainly was the outlier this year. I kind of thought that may have happened because they were tired and rundown. They played a pretty tough schedule this year. I don’t think that will happen as much when she has all the talent and everyone’s used to her system. I may be wrong on that though.

You aren’t wrong, but you also have to factor in that KH in her Sweet 16 runs never beat a major conference team. Mid majors both times. KC beat a major conference team on its home floor tonight with what may realistically be one of her least talented rosters at Tennessee.

I just don’t think people really remember when you get to a certain point in the tournament. We have a certain segment of fans that still oogle over Pearl. He made the EE by beating SDSU and Ohio in the first two rounds.

I agree that KC has done a remarkable job, but the standard is eventually more with the LV’s. Even our recent history has shown that.

Pearl was a better recruiter. He was an elite closer. His culture was sloppy. He was a mediocre X's and O's coach. And he was morally the lesser.

Neither has amazed in the Tourney.

6 in one hand, half dozen in the other.
