The Official 2025 March Madness Discussion Thread

I think Golden’s demeanor and conduct in general are very unbecoming of a head coach. He acts more like a college student than a professional. I can’t think of another coach of a major program in any sport, college or pro, who would gesture with his arms while backing up and yelling “we got the natty baby!” like he did. Maybe it’s just an age thing but even the younger generation of coaches like Scheyer, Ryan Day, Mark Byington, etc conduct themselves with decorum and professionalism as opposed to acting like the students they coach.

Maybe I need to go outside and yell at the clouds but his entire schtick on and off the court is a real turn-off.
Absolutely agree. Golden acted like a 6th grader who just won a trophy. Very immature. Although I was pulling for Houston and for Sampson to get a title, I have no issue congratulating the Florida players. They played hard and clamped down on defense when it looked lost. And Clayton is an absolute stud and a great story ( 0 star recruit). But after reading the FL student newspaper story, I just can’t get on board when Coach Creeper. IDGAF about the Title 9 clearance. It’s obvious there is more to the story than that. Really curious if some lawsuits expose what really happened. Inquiring minds want to know.
 
Honestly, I would have thought that if there were pics and text messages as reported there'd have been some corroboration by now. It doesn't make a lot of sense that such allegations would be made and just fade away after the Title IX concluded. Wouldn't the aggrieved parties seek criminal charges or sue ?

If nothing else, if there were like 3 or 4 such women, none of them release any of it?? None of it ?

It causes me to hesitate before believing it. I could be wrong. But it's odd.
Unless the aggrieved parties were paid to go away.

Aside from Golden and my disdain for the Florida jersey, those kids seemed to have good character. Clayton's interaction with the Houston player after the game was classy. Florida played hard all year, always seemed to be focused and about their business.

Off to take a shower now.

It's not about your satisfaction on Sunday. It's about how many people tune in on Monday night. I can't believe this has to be explained.
Looks like America was in fact interested after all, even without Flagg playing.. 22% increase in viewership from last year and highest in 6 years.

It was a great 2nd and 3rd weekend in a year where interest is up. No surprise that it had good ratings.

Houston/Duke got more viewers than last year's championship game and just slightly less than this year's. And Monday night is a much better time slot than Saturday night is.

You’re just upset because you don’t get to parade around saying you called the Houston win. I’m onto you!
 
Florida brings an awful lot back next year, as in ALL of their bigs: Chinyelu, Condon, Haugh and Handglotten. They also return valuable guard Denzel Aberdeen. They’ll need to replace 3 amazing guards but don’t put that past Golden. He’s known as “Portal God Todd” for a reason.

Of course, much changes nowadays with the portal and NIL, so who knows. But if he gets those 5 to return, watch out.

And their 8 footer’s red shirt season just ended.

I'll never underestimate Golden's ability to keep his eye on college kids and aggressively pursue them.

Seriously? That’s what you guys call your coach?

And their coach will be in Pedophile Prison
