Man... It's amazing the kind of theatre and attention some coaches can seek.... If/when given the opportunity, they love the attention. A lot of big time college hoops (and football) coaches out there just waiting for that spotlight. Objectivity, reality, or ability to relate to anyone else may fly out the window... But they're gonna get that message out.
There were a handful of teams who had an argument to get in. All had a claim to a metric that supports their bad fortune. Been that way for years, some people just handle it with more humility than others.
