I love that a head coach who hasn't posted a positive NBA record can be referred to, unironically, as a winner on every level.

I'm just glad he didn't start coaching at the middle school level.

It's a figure of speech to mean that he's a guy who's not gonna accept losing for any reason other than just not being good enough. We could easily pull back from the playoff race, sit a bunch of guys and jump 6 spots in the draft but a guy like Stevens won't accept that, he'll just go elsewhere. He got a wholly less talented Butler team to two straight final fours and has this team well over 500 since we traded our best players.

Maybe I should've said something like "He's a winner to the core" or something so you'd get what I meant. Do love how instead of addressing anything I actually said you make a cute little quip about a figure of speech.

It's a  bunch of empty platitudes. Like saying "this guy is a real winner" or "he just won't settle for less." Only it's just a projection on someone you don't know based on half-warmed over cliches. It seems strange to get mad about frivolous statements being treated frivolously.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.
