Per Pat:
Yet I continue to admire Johnson's lack of antics, lack of ref-baiting, lack of self-pity, for this reason:
He's up against it more than any coach in Gophers modern history, even Clem Haskins when he took over with a grievously depleted roster in 1986.
The league will be 16 deep and tougher with Southern California and UCLA by then. And if Johnson can show signs of sustainability by Year 4, it will be up to Ben and his coaching staff, because the outside help appears to be almost nonexistent.
Johnson didn't bring this up, but it came from a media source and was confirmed elsewhere:
The NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) funding for Gophers men's basketball stands at $0.00. Pitino's better off in Lobo Land, I'm guessing.
Go Gophers!!

Gophers basketball coach Ben Johnson playing it slow and steady amid dismal season
Dealing with a depleted roster and an ongoing reset, Johnson is staying calm and aiming for a sustainable program.
