  • BANNED from uscbasketball.com

    The owner of uscbasketball.com finally had enough of my non-conformist takes and banned me for having a different opinion than him.

    What enraged him this time was in a thread titled “Does This Win Buy CAE Another Year?” the original poster said “If this was the first year under a new coach that ended with a losing record but a big upset over a top 5 team, I think fans would be excited about the future. Does CAE get the same benefit of the doubt from the typical SC fan?”

    I responded by asking “If you look at the players currently on the roster, the one who are definitely or likely not coming back next season, and the players coming in, what is the rational basis for being excited about the future after this season comes to an end?”

    The site owner the interjected that fans like me were “negative hater sad sacks” and none of us knew who would be on the roster.

    When I responded that this wasn’t exactly a great reason for excitement, the site owner deleted my post and permanently banned me.

    Discussion over.

    Hoping for better discussions here.

    The owner of the other site posted yesterday that the purpose of his site was to create a die hard group of fans. Last month he posted that USC basketball fans were the worst in the world. He seems to view his site as a project to create a cult-like group of fans who will holler and cheer no matter what's going on with the team.

      Either AE is the best SC can get, AE will rebuild the team into a Final 4 contender, or SC hoops fans should except being a bubble team in the good years as the ceiling

                Hey Johnny, I feel it's just a matter of time before he bans me also. I do appreciate MNH's enthusiasm and incredible loyalty to Enfield and the program but I don't understand his criticism of many on his board who don't have the same level of enthusiasm as he especially coming off a VERY disappointing season. A moderator of a fan message board shouldn't be insulting his posters who don't agree with him.
                I didn't go to USC but I've been a fan of the program since the late 1960's and stay up late to watch every game but I'm not a good fan according to MNH because I don't agree with him and have voiced my displeasure with things I've witnessed this year. It's just my opinion and others like you who express their views and it doesn't make you, me, or MNH right. I thought that's what message boards were for. I'm too old and not the the right sex just to be a cheerleader.

                  It went sideways for me when I pointed out that SC was a sleeping giant and it was reasonable to expect SC to compete for national championships. When asked how to define that I said schools that make a Final 4 every 5 years are competing for NCs.. Well..... that's just crazy talk! so now I'm a shitty fan.

                    Marty and Johnny Mac,

                    About a month ago he wrote a post calling USC basketball fans the worst fans in the world. With the other posts talking about building a new fan base it appears he’s trying to use the site to censor all critically thinking fans and try I guess to build a new fan base of robots. It’s an ambitious project for a message board but I guess I wish him the best of luck. I’m skeptical he’ll be able to replace all the old fans with a new crop of fans that will be selling out Galen.

                        Yep... it is his site so he can do what he wants. I am perfectly happy to bring my irrational passion for SC hoops to this board, the ORIGINAL USC hoops message board. I sorta feel like an investor since I donated a hundred bucks to BibbyBaby back in 1997 😂😂🤣

                          Great point, holding the coach to expectations that literally only one other active head coach has fulfilled is the sign of a GREAT FAN.

                          Your banning is their loss.

                            His standard was making the final four every five years.

                            Here are the schools that have made the last 5 Final Fours:

                            UConn
                            SDSU
                            FAU
                            Miami
                            Kansas 2x
                            North Carolina
                            Duke
                            Villanova 2x
                            Baylor
                            Gonzaga
                            UCLA
                            Houston
                            Virginia
                            Texas Tech
                            Auburn
                            Michigan State
                            Michigan
                            Loyola

                            Here are schools that repeated in the five Final Fours before that:

                            Villanova/Wright
                            Kansas/Self
                            Gonzaga/Few
                            Duke/Coach K
                            Michigan State/Izzo
                            Michigan/Beilein (2x)
                            North Carolina (Roy Williams made it twice on his own during this period)
                            UConn

                            In addition:
                            Kentucky (Coach Cal made it twice during this period)
                            Wisconsin (Bo Ryan made it twice during this period)
                            Syracuse (Boeheim made it twice during this period)


                            So during this ten-year period of Final Fours, 10 coaches made multiple Final Fours and one other program made multiple Final Fours with different coaches.

                              My standard is lower than his even.

                              I’d like to have a program that makes it at least into the second weekend of the Tournament a couple times every five years. I think that’s a totally defensible standard.
