I immediately came to the end of this thread to add "Derrick Chievous" but I see I wasn't soon enough. Kudos to both of you above. He was the first one on my list.

I already hate Forte more than I hated Keiton Page, because Forte is better and he flops a lot more.

Eduardo Najera - kissed the refs butts more than any player I've ever seen, we dominated the Big 12 during his career but I still couldn't stand the guy.

Outside of him it's mainly coaches I can't stand, Baylor's pro-murder coach, Baylor's post-murder cheating coach, Roy Williams are probably my top 3. I've only watched Marcus Smart play a handful of games, if he always flops the way he did in Hilton then he could be the new #1 disliked player, that was a disgrace.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Doug Gottlieb.

For me, a close number two was Derrick Chievous. But if we can step out of the Big 8/12, the overall winner is Jeff Moe. (Acie Earl had the potential to win it, but Hoiberg's dunk on him changes everything.)

Marcus Smart up there for the flopping and the cutesy play standing right behind Niang after that bucket. I should probably give him props for the Phog backflip though.:twitcy:

Anthony Peeler - Couldn't stand watching him toss up garbage shots from outside as he jumped sideways into stationary Cyclones at Hilton and get the call everytime. He scored 42 points but shot 20 free throws by pulling that crap.

i think our 4 regions would be Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Other/NCAA.

NCAA would be one-gamers but extremely painful: cameron dollar, mateen cleaves, and charles shackleford/chris washburn.
