Emma not only played golf at the U, she sing the national anthem at many gopher basketball, volleyball, and hockey games during her years at the U. She is incredibly talented and even a better person! Fortunate to know her.

Wingspan!!

He put the wrong person in charge of it from the start. A former NCAA staffer and compliance director was the guy he put in charge, no chance of thinking outside the box.

Played the whole, horrific night shooting until he hit a big 3 in OT. Played great defense against bigger guards.

That was a great game!

Have a good friend who was a long time B1G employee, lasted less than a year after Warren took over. Said he was a horrible leader and not a good person. FWIW

One time zone is better than four!

Oklahoma State in the NIT, makes four Power 5

Coyle cannot say that he’s been searching and talking to candidates until he has a position open. I’m sure he has been working the back channels unofficially for a few weeks. He did it with Fleck and hired him quickly after their bowl game.

Tons of $$ especially when gas and oil prices are high!

Has to be an old list. Jim Phillips is now commissioner of ACC conference and hasn’t been at NU for a few years.

I’m sure Coyle felt he couldn’t roll out Ben next year hoping for better results with more NIL and resources and if he did and it failed, both would be gone after next year(others have mentioned it on the board). It’s an experiment that failed, Ben worked hard, tried hard, but the landscape has...

TT and A&M have a lot more money than you think, plus alums like to support those schools. Pat Mahomes basically setup TT’s NIL fund and got them a big adidas contract.

Marquette has one of the largest basketball budgets in the country, at one time only 2nd to Duke, not sure where they rank now.

Good info, I didn’t look up their roster. It’s interesting that he got the Illinois job after one decent year(of 4) at Ohio. They made the sweet 16, but not much else as a head coach screamed Power 5 potential.
