a football regular season. In football, winning in the regular season IS everything and a losing coach should be fired. I really don't think you understand this distinction.
You can be a "winning coach" in basketball and still suck because...you never win when it matters during the tournaments. That's all that matters!!! They have this thing called March Madness...
So I couldn't care less if Rose lost 20 games a year and then went on to win the conference tourney every time. You do realize that the winner of the conf. tourney gets an auto-bid to the big dance, right? I mean, it's almost as if some of you people truly don't understand how this works and are arguing for Rose based on a football standard. SMH
