Could have just added this to some of the other discussions, but I admit I really wanted to use that title. Anyway, now that Groce has moved on, what does it mean for the Zips for next year? I think Groce was a very good coach and even thought they have a lot of talent returning, I think the timing could not have been much better for the Zips. With our loaded roster returning, I can't see how a coaching change will benefit the Bobkittens at all. I can see it potentially causing some problems. Other than Cooper I think we match up better at every position for next year. Lets hope their new coach can wreak a little havoc for us.

Cooper may have his highest draft value right now. It's highly unlikely he will get a chance to perform on the big stage next season as he just did, and memories can be short when it comes to evaluating the performance of college basketball players, i.e. what have you done lately?. It's possible that he could sneak in as a late second-round pick in this season's draft. Cooper would be foolish not to be consulting with his family and advisors about his best course of action after Groce's move.

It's 2012 Dave. Coaches use this new device called "video" and it helps them with their memory.

Cute quip but missing the main point that Cooper's performance next season without Groce could seriously degrade his NBA draft potential and end up costing him a lot of money. It's unlikely that he'll get an opportunity next season to look any better than he did in this year's NCAA tournament.
