Saw this when searching for info on him: Unless he pulls a Hawkins, he is staying at Charlotte. https://www.thecharlottepost.com/news/2024/04/10/sports/lu-cye-patterson-decides-to-stick-with-charlotte-49ers/

Agree there has to be accountability. En was missed the reward system entirely.

And Ben actually commented in a Fuller article on how his guys looked worn down towards the end. If they weren’t burned out physically, they were mentally. He lost this team. If we don’t have the NIL to offer, then provide some PT. It is time for a change to someone that can adapt.

In the era of the “portal at will” and NIL, you have to give all your recruits a few mins here and there. You pretty much have to recruit all season long now. Hard to say what Keinys potential is when he never got on the court, even in blowouts. I think he got in 2-3 non conference games. Ben...

The book on Ben's first real HS recruiting class is complete. Everyone has now left.

Preseason grade B+/A-. Final: C-. The NIT opportunity came as a result of several teams declining their invitation. Instead of using the gift NIT invite as a bonus developmental opportunity and reward, Ben maintained his status quo distribution of playing time. It doesn’t take much to give...

Only a new coach will develop JOJ. Ben has completely given up on him. Just think how much $NIL Cam could get if he could play D!

With Garcia on bench with 3 fouls and Hawkins in locker room getting checked out. Ben won’t have to worry about who he is going to sub in. 🤫

Ben should be fired. He failed to develop his players. He continued to only play 7 guys. Even if they had won today, they would have had no legs for tomorrow.

Legs are gone. Playing 7 will do that.

I saw progress from Ben this year in his team formation. He had a better rounded team. I saw progress in game management this season, mostly coming out of halftime. I was encouraged by the changes. What is frustrating to watch is Ben’s inability to develop his back up players. Last night was a...

Players gassed, players that should be held accountable remain in game. I don’t get it.

I see no adjustments, no attempts to exploit any IU vulnerabilities, no attempt to run some plays to get guys going, and no player development. This is one of the most disappointing games this B1G season so far by CBJ.

When Ihnen plays over JOJ, his days as a Gopher are almost done.

I believe basketball and volleyball teams could play at Mariucci or Ridder for a year, if not permanently. With the decline in MBB attendance, Ridder would suffice.
