Per Chip:
Regardless of how he frames it publicly, Coyle moved on from Lindsay Whalen as women's coachafter five unimpressive seasons. Men's coach Ben Johnson has finished last in the Big Ten in each of his first two seasons.
No Big Ten school was worse than Minnesota this basketball season. Six victories and 30 losses, combined, in the Big Ten.
This is an especially sad period for two programs that by Coyle's own admission have languished over the last quarter century.
People can blame coaching but this is Coyle's problem, too. His hires, his problem.
"We've got to figure it out," Coyle said. "We have everything in place. There is no reason why it can't be done here. That's the question we've got to figure out."
Go Gophers!!

Lindsay Whalen's replacement. Gophers athletic director Mark Coyle must get it right
No Big Ten school was worse than Minnesota this women's and men's basketball season. Six victories and 31 losses in the Big Ten. AD Mark Coyle's job includes fixing that with the right hire.
