Reply to comment by syrstorm in Boeheim out after 47 seasons at Syracuse by Jonas_Venture_Sr

I don't care how bullshit the NCAA is, you claiming that Syracuse would only have 41 losses over 47 seasons is fucking ridiculous. That's six undefeated seasons at minimum, which is two more than Wooden's UCLA teams managed.

Agreed. I think if dude only lost once every decade or so this would be a bigger deal.

A loss every decade would only be 4 or 5 losses depending on whether he lost for the one time between years 40-47

My assumption was that surely no person can get themselves worked up that much over what is clearly an error and therefore concluded that it had to be a joke/facetious, taking the comment at face value.

But maybe you're right and they're just an asshole. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Btw sorry for giving an explanation, downvotes the left, thanks. :)

Dude, this is the internet. 9/10 times, it's some unhinged dude throwing a fit when they think someone displays sub-par knowledge about their favorite thing

I'll have to disagree, but I get what you mean.

If the coach they mentioned with 4 undefeated seasons was some sort of left-field ridiculous answer, I'd agree with you. But their two sentences were telling the person that they're ridiculous followed by him backing up how ridiculous he thinks they are being by comparing it with a real life stat of 4 undefeated UCLA teams. They are very clearly being sincere.

What's ridiculous is that you saw that number and were like "yeah, that's totally what this dude means. After all, everyone but me is an idiot" and then acted like a raccoon with rabies instead of just being like "hmm, that's so ridiculous, maybe that's a typo, and perhaps I should ask for clarification."

No he's right, Syracuse would've been the best program in history and boeheim also would've stopped coaching about 12 years ago if not for the meddling of the NCAA!

It was obviously a typo dip

Sorry. That was purely a typo (I missed the extra 4). I'm just giving Coach B back the 101 wins the NCAA's B.S. "investigation" stripped from him.
