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

    That's what johnnyboy said when we hired Ben: ) "Can't do much worse than 13th" was the motto at the time

    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.

    Eligibility denied!

    ESPN's Jeff Borzello: "As of time of publish, it seems Ben Johnson is likely to get another year at Minnesota."

    Yeah all that time Ben spent as an assistant for a p5 school is paying off in droves right now.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    This thread getting an extra year of eligibility. Year zero was a red shirt so it's all good.

    Johnson says Asuma and Frank are two pieces we know are coming back

    I'll take asuma and the tank next season regardless who the coach is.

    ESPN's Jeff Borzello: "As of time of publish, it seems Ben Johnson is likely to get another year at Minnesota."

    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...

    I know little about Tauer, but I'm confident he would coach circles around Ben. It would be hard not to with his head coaching experience. Tauer next season would be light years ahead of Ben year 1.

    Running the center 30 ft out to hedge a screen is Ben's safe space

    Describe the Gophers 24-25 season in 1 sentence

    That team was bad, but I couldn't have forseen only 2 conference wins with Garcia and battle on the same team. That was only achieved through coaching.

    ESPN's Jeff Borzello: "As of time of publish, it seems Ben Johnson is likely to get another year at Minnesota."

    Everyone saying Ben was our best option because there was no other interest conveniently forgets DUTCHER WAS INTERESTED and Coyle CANCELED the interview to hire Ben Johnson. Smith was interested. He didn't work out but he did get hired by another P5 team. Ben had zero P5 interest outside of...

    Roll Call, do you want Ben back for year 5? Simple yes or no replies.

    No.

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2024-2025 basketball season?

    I voted F as this grade is a totality of his 4 years. His only chance for success was making the dance. That would be an A. Anything short of that is an F. No more in between at this point.

    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."

    Thin line between pride and just plain shameless
