Bigger productivity drain: March Madness or Coaching Change?

Submitted by iawolve on

This almost seems like a bizarre question to ask since some people actually watch the tournament games at their desk or simply skip work all together to watch the games. However, those are finite blocks of time with a start and stop over a 3 week period. This coaching change feels like it has been going on forever and I find myself spending way too much time visiting and revisiting multiple message boards for the slightest hint of any coaching change confirmation. This multi-week, borderline stalking makes me think I have collectively wasted way more time on this stuff than I should have and that this has surpassed March Madness in terms of productivity drain. For the sake of the fan base and the economy, Jimmy needs to come home soon. Interested in your thoughts.

At this point, with no news and not even many rumors coming in, I don't see how the coaching change is much of a time drain. It was for the first few days but now it is likely to go silent for two weeks. We may be in for a Nebraska style 41 day affair. The interest will wax and wane in that time, it's already waning

For me, it is unquestionably coaching changes that are the bigger productivity drains. I love March Madness, but I typically don't fill out brackets. I try to catch as many games as possible, and try to keep informed with M's games, but beyond that, it doesn't really consume me like these coaching changes.

but fortunately it is a much more enjoyable one at that.   you don't sit down for 2 hours on a saturday to watch 'coaching change', and then do it again on sunday too.  do that 4 weeks.
