My mistake regarding CBJ. Regardless both were bad hires.

I don't understand how you could agree with the UofM hiring Pitino and CBJ with their experience.

What was the attendance during Clem's tenure? I had season tickets beginning when Clem was hired and the Williams Arena capacity was 16k, at least thru 1992 when Williams was remodeled. There were many-many-many sellouts for b10 games.

You're ignoring MSU, WI and Purdue's current head coaches were assistants at the schools before being hired as the head coach following head coaches that had been at those schools for many years. Are you advocating that Northwestern is an example of what other B10 schools should do when hiring...

Please, he was head coach of Florida International. A big10 team hiring Pitino after 1 year head coaching experience at FL International is basically saying Pitino's resume was the only one available. Reaching for a 1-year coach from conference usa for a b10 job is only slightly better than...

What did CBJ tell him during recruiting? You'll be starting, 6th man, 20 minutes per game. It can't be much different between CBJ and Medved for a 6-6 3-star recruit.

Can't believe the athletic department hired 2 guys with no experience with 2 different athletic directors. It would be similar to hiring a salesperson with no experience in sales or the product and wonder why they weren't successful, then fire him and hire another guy with no experience in...

Pitino inherited some good players and did recruit some impressive players himself. After 8 years Coyle decided to pull the plug. Why he did it after 8 years with Pitino having gained a plethora of experience and turned around and basically started over made no sense. On top of that, if...

Coyle's job is to hire the best coach, and he failed in 2020 regardless of the administration's undocumented requirements and obstacles. Medved was towards the top of the list in 2020 too. Still think Coyle failed with CBJ hire in 2020 and with the L Whalen on the woman's side. Coyle needs to...

If the weather and the ability to drive to any "season" in 2 hours was the reason for choosing a college to play basketball, then Dutcher and SDSU should be getting the best recruits in the country. MN, IA, WI, NE, MSU, MU all have winter. If the team wins the players will come and the coach is...

Add to that impressive list the MN high school graduates that are playing in the NCAA tournament that didn't chose UofM or chose to transfer to other schools. WI has 5 (2 starters), Michigan State has Tre Holloman, 20 minutes/game, and Michigan has 1 Will Tschetter, 20 minutes/game. If all...

Tried. But the spouse vetoed my actions.

LOL. Was that comment sarcastic too? If I write a sarcastic comment I normally add "sarcasm", so the reader know.

Interesting conclusion but has nothing to do with the replay I made to the comment regarding the UoM administration being clowns and that successful sports programs raise the tide of the entire school- alumni, academics, prestige etc. As far as communist influence from the university I don't...

Winning football/bb was one of the major reasons all 3 of my kids attended Madison after growing up going to gopher FB/BB games. And they went to games during the clem/tubby era so not like the recent era of Pitino/CBJ. The academics were arguable better too.

Clem Haskins 13 years, Tubby Smith 6 years and CBJ 4 years in the last 35+ years. That's 65% of the last 35 years. What are you implying? Season ticket holder since Clem. Give me a break. I want a coach that can win, IDC color, religion, experience, where they came from.

Based on B10 records, If that was true, then Coyle should be gone.

Possibly NCAA cares or at least they say it impacts their decisions for the NCAA tourney. Fans and certainly Coyle and other Athletic Directors don't care about the non-conference games, except for the high-profile games, ie Dukes of the world. So, what was the gophers record last year? B10...

Of course, they're called regular season, so season ticket holders pay for the games. My season tickets for BB include 20 games. 10 b10 games and 10 pre-season games which are mostly horrible to watch and mean nothing. Everyone calls them pre-season, but they're included in the season record...

Does anyone look at preseason records for professional baseball, football, hockey? What's the purpose mentioning or including preseason records for college?
