Yeah but he hired Ben after the last time he said that and everyone was pissed. He knows the position he's in now and I think he learned from last time. Under promise, over deliver.
My bad, they finished 3rd in league that year with an NIT invite. I thought they made the dance that season. Must have just been one of the last 4-8 out.
He would've been great 4 years ago. Would have made a ton of sense then and by now we'd know exactly what we had. Maybe we would still be moving on, but our floor would have been a lot higher in the mean time.
Yeah, I'm just not sure how you can watch the last 4 years of Gopher basketball and come up with a post like that. Are we even watching the same game? A lot of posts on twitter were very sympathetic towards Ben under the announcement on the U of M page.
He has hundreds of more games experience as a head coach and he wins. That alone is more convincing than what I've seen from Ben. Ben was hired the same year UST went D1, at this point what school hires Ben over Tauer using the last 4 years as a predictor of future success? The answer is likely...
