MBB: Centennial Conference

[LustyLarryintheToilet]

Mr. Coco, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Lusty: Seems like the dad of the jilted Ursinus player is cranky today.

Lusty-  great line from Billy Madison!  

Coco- if you want boring, watch the Bears next season or read your own post!  If you do not like the posts that people write then go find another forum to discuss Bears basketball and hate on Coach Robinson.  You may join bball2020 and Pat Coleman as F&M and Coach Robinson haters.  I am not interested in responding to your post because you should be spending time working on the Bears' exciting offseason!

Did you read the articles?  That may help to tell you what a class act Coach Robinson really is.  
Lots of former players and coaches—both assistant and opposing coaches—have chimed in about Robinson. The following stories have anecdotes from many:

also to clarify, i dont think it is fair to compare dickinson/gb to ursinus.  those two teams fought hard and made the CC playoffs, whereas Ursinus was so pathetic they couldnt even finish higher than 7th!

OKAY r.w. Mcnickels, Thanks much, read those articles again as before and just as before saw no praise, comments of this legend as a classy, respected,beloved person most "legends" are labeled as. Let me repeat the endearing, personal comments made by ex players and coaches that are in these 3 articles you are using to make some point. "His teams play hard", "His system has been in place for a lot of years and worked", "Glenn sees himself as a professor", "It's a system of excellence", "Lost a run for the local house of representatives", (wonder why?), "Not a better practice coach". Wow! High praise, admiration, and respect for this coaching legend. Gotta do better than this you Robinson groupies.

i'm not going to go into a huge defense of Coach just because a jilted jealous ursinus fan is whining.  I dont know him and his wife personally, just know that many on campus think of them as fine people. 

That said, lets look at 5 guys who are considered among the five greatest coaches at the D1 level (Wooden, Smith, Knight, Rupp and Coach K).  Two are among the most well respected people in all of sport, one was a jackass, the 4th a borderline racist and the fifth a conniving troll whose histrionics are sometimes purposefully intolerable.  That said, have any of their legacies been affected, even 1%?  of course not.  So whatever you think of Coach, and trust me their are 1000's of dissenting views, it doesnt affect his legacy one iota.  Bye now

All I remember is that Coach Robinson beat Ursinus twice this season!  And he just won the Centennial Conference tournament two years in a row!  And he has 5 final four appearances.  Jerk or no jerk- the guy gets the wins and gets the job done.  Now would the Ursinus fan please go to the offseason forum.

Just because people don't drink the kool-aid doesn't make them haters. Just because we're not biased for you doesn't mean we're biased against you. When you hit your 30s, doesn't that become clear eventually?

[cocoh2oDad]

Wow, golly gee guys a lot of substance and well made points to defend  this "Legend" and my opinion of him and what I've seen, heard and discussed with many others. Very articulate and adult like. "Ursinus pathetic", "insanely idiotic comments"," incoherent". How about giving me something better than this mature verbiage  to defend your ass kissing of this "legend in his own mind. The silence is deafening. As far as the Dad of a jilted Ursinus player my son's play speaks for it's self. Very grown up to bring my son into this. Not cranky here, just speaking what I see as reality and fact.

i appreciate that coco, LustyLarry always tries to bring substance to the table

[cocoh2oDad]

Hey Lusty, would love to meet or see in writing just a couple of these "1000's of dissenting views". Do they only come out after dark or what? Do they live in caves? You must be one of those who just like seeing their thoughts in print you literary giant you.

[docmarc]

Coco reality and fact are based on results.  800 wins over 40 seasons means 20+ wins per year.  5 final four appearances.  Most number of centennial conference championships.  What other results and facts do you and bball and pat Coleman need. I care nothing about an opinion of someone who hates f and m based on the 1990s or his sons team losing twice to f and m or the quality of parking lots or away facilities.

First, the true value and legacy of an individual  no matter what your profession or passion in life is to earn and have the respect, admiration and true praise of your fellow co-workers, professionals, adversaries, and peers.

that is a patently absurd statement, as i pointed out in my previous post.  In order to have any legacy to be considered GOAT, which is what Coach is considered, one has to be successful.  

You also seem to insinuate coach doesnt have the respect of his co-workers, colleagues and peers.  I'd love to hear how you came to this conclusion.  And if you decide to tell, please try to use something less than a 37 line run on sentence.  They still teach grammar in Collegeville, right?

Rupp a mere "borderline" racist? How about an out-and-out bigot?
