Yes, which we can use your previous posts as a basis for your particular position, hence cherry-picking.

Bullshitting
A writing technique in which the user bases an entire piece of writing, often an essay, around a single and often small, irrelevant and/or useless piece of information.
Skilled Bullshitting will allow someone to write a full essay about nothing yet make it look as if they know what they are talking about and are answering the question.
PR I don't know you, however you have come across very childish and almost borderline crazy with your posts about the new Lady Griz coach. We have all become accustomed to your name dropping and your smarmy attitude but this is a new level for even you.
I'm excited about the hire and hope that the recruiting net will be cast far and wide. In my very humble opinion once a kid signs they are a Griz for life.

I have never understood the widespread desire for so many Griz fans to complain about the number of Montana kids, or Native American kids competing on our athletic teams. I live in five states in the past, and no other fan bases have an issue with where their players came from. My buddy from Wyoming, who is a big Cowboys fan, says that Wyoming fans don't care if a single player is from the state of Wyoming. Same with NDSU Bison fans about having North Dakota players. They just care about signing great players, period. It seems to be a phenomenon unique to Montana.

If this is true, then they must enjoy losing, because there is no way a team can compete at a high level these days using all, or mostly Montana players.

I think perspective is driven, at least in part, from background. My roots in MT go back over a century, I lived in three other states from the east coast from the west coast after receiving my undergraduate degree from UM, and have been back in MT full-time for two decades. The Montana University System is unwieldy and inefficient in many ways, but has always operated in a manner that focuses on creating opportunities for all MT high school graduates. Wyoming, on the other hand, has one university fed by community colleges. MT is different than Wyoming in many ways. But in this context, while MT universities want to excel in athletics (and I want UM to win as much as anybody), I believe the focus on recruiting and developing MT athletes is based on MT culture and is understandable. I was a dip-shit kid from the Hi-Line who moved to Missoula at age 18 and benefited immeasurably from UM’s focus on MT students. I know the only constant is change but I hope we can continue to recruit and nurture MT students and student-athletes.

He did a podcast with Riley very recently. These things are readily available. Love what the new coach is already doing.
He was already incredibly impressive in the interview.

Here is a link to the podcast. Excellent, in-depth session with coach Holsinger. As usual, Riley Corcoran does an excellent job of conducting the interview, resulting in a good profile of the incoming MontanaWBB coach.

The lack of widespread media coverage of Lady Griz basketball right now likely has little to do with a new coach. The print media in MT has been decimated in recent years. Lee Enterprises and Gannett have been poor stewards. The entire industry is reeling. Broadcast media in MT has historically been weak and scattershot. It’s hard to attract media attention on important public policy issues, and even harder to attract media attention to women’s basketball in May.

He was a great interview from my perspective. Very honest, humble, respectful and I like all that he is about so far.
He addresses the roster turnover directly and was honest with the girls. He watched hours of film, talked to tons of people, had honest convos with the players, and relied on staff to help each of these girls find new places that will suit them and their careers well. Yes some of this was through zoom but that was due entirely to covid.
I came away extremely impressed.
Edit: has been on phone so much ear started bleeding, literally.
Skipped family trip to Hawaii to stay and make sure all is going smoothly in Missoula. Family went without him.
