    John Thompson Lenny Wilkens Doc Rivers The guy who coached Temple Nolan Richardson Tony Dungy These are all coaches who coached for a very long time and they share a skin color. What they didn’t share is losing.

    Thank you, Ben Johnson

    Give me a break. I didn’t have enough NIL. FU I gave my blood and sweat. FU I had a clean program. FU I tried to do my best. FU This should have happened after his second incompetent season, and you want to “thank him”? He got paid. Now get the F out. Think of the four years of wasted fan...

    Where will Ben land?

    2025-26 Team

    At 1:19am, 3.13.25. - The Ben Johnson Era has ended and Ben is fired

    Blame NIL all you want Ben apologists! If he had just recruited the kids who became skunks our talent level would have been at least three times better. Making excuses for a failed coach, pathetic! Scoreboard don’t lie! Ben might be the greatest guy ever but he sucks as a coach.

    Johnson: “I have some personal pride that I’ll be the only minority coach in the league. I take that with a badge of honor."
