The Gophers have had a black coach 23 of the last 39 seasons. That comes out to 59%.

Hi. I guess I'm encouraged enough to return to posting after the Ben Johnson years. I'm still feeling myself around a landscape that has NIL as the dominate force in recruiting. I don't know if I ever will love college sports like I used to. Nico is a good hire, but IIRC, Indiana & Iowa have...

Yep. Little Ricky spent two years as a Donovon assistant.

Huskers by 11. I think the Gophers , behind Garcia's career game, played their very best against OSU and still lost by 10. I don't think they play nearly as well tonight.

Maybe Niko is auditioning for another coaching job? Any idea who that could be?

This may not be a bad thing. If coaches want to retain their recruits past the first year, they will no longer promise (lie) about all the PT available to them. Let's see more coaches offer more realistic appraisals to prepare them for sitting & learning as freshman.

So Minnesota is tied with Texas & behind Alabama, tOSU, Michigan, Iowa & Illinois in debt. I thought those schools were rolling in money.

Does he want to come here to be a backup to Payne? Heck, we already lost out on Hunter Dickinson because he didn't want to play behind Pharrel:(

Wisconsin has finished higher in the B1G for 25 years in a row & counting. 1997-98 was last time we edged them out (even with five forfeits).

I'll admit that Rockhaven has some of the funniest posts on the site. I have wasted good beer by snorting it out my nose reading some of his stuff.

And I'm so sick of CBJ apologists knocking long time Gopher fans. Coyle & Gabel showed an absolute disdain for long suffering basketball fans by hiring such an unqualified coach. Screw them!

What's more concerning? Hawkins' 4 TOVs a game or Mike Mitchell's 0.7 FTs a game? Both of these guys are marginal B1G talents, but they really fill a need for the Gophers.

Dang, I was just looking at the stats for this team. This was Bill Musselman's last season with Gophers, leaving town before of the NCAA rules committee could get him. Nice Globe trotter routine. Coincidentally freshman Osborne "Goose" Lockhart went on to play 17 years with the Trotters and...

Mark, just a little tip here. Hire a minority candidate for the women and you will have a little more leeway to eventually hire a qualified men's coach ... even if he is a white guy.

Did Coyle know that Fleck was available before Claeys was fired? If that's the case, I think a similar thing should be on the table, he should pull the trigger if he has another rising star basketball coach already committed to take over for CBJ. Unfortunately, I don't one of those on the...
