Or shoot free throws. But let’s wish big Frank well.

Would “slow” be a better description than plodder?

Time for greener pastures for Mr. Betts, who could not crack the lineup in three years. CU Pueblo might be a good fit, his hometown.

How would any of us know that Ben ignored the advice from Thorson unless we had strong ties to players on the team or the coaching staff?

Niko lost John Tonje to Missouri in the transfer portal 2 years ago, who now stars for Wisconsin. And yet Niko has recovered and is having success. Seems like a good choice if true.

Fiery is fine, as long as the new coach isn’t a constant whiner and complainer, like the Hurley boys, who have never agreed with any call against their teams, ever!

I don’t really know if Johnson was a good coach or not because I’m not a coach. But I do know that lack of NIL funds cost them Hawkins and Payne. With those two guys they would be an NCAA tournament team. Seems like they will continue to struggle if they can’t raise more dollars beyond the new...

I doubt that any successful, high profile coach would take this job because of the lack of NIL funds. Maybe it would be a step up for successful mid major guy with a poor NIL budget.

At least he wasn’t revisiting AGAIN growing up in Fulda, and more columns on the overworked and tired topic of town baseball. And meanwhile trying to sound like the cynical ink stained wretch schtick, like he does when on the radio.

The word on Crean is he is a good recruiter and a bad in game coach. Not sure if there is validity, but the first step is recruiting good players. If you don’t have good players it makes little difference how good a coach you are.

The team faltered this year because of NIL dollars to entice Hawkins and Payne to leave. Had they stayed this would be an NCAA tournament team. Johnson wasn’t able to replace them with equal talent. My guess is he gets another year because the $2.9 million buyout is too high to absorb. We’ll...

Yes, because of the 2000 points, not because she is from Sleepy Eye.

Respectfully, playing for Sleepy Eye isn’t what gets the coaches’ attention. The 2000 points will do it, however.

Lack of NIL dollars is a major hurdle that won’t be rectified by hiring a new coach. Any replacements will see that as a barrier unless they are coming from a mid major with less NIL. That’s also why they lost Payne and Hawkins, and were unable to replace them with equally as talented players...

This year, maybe, but not every year. These things work in cycles.

Clearly Johnson will add transfers to his freshman recruits to fill in the roster, just like he did this year. That is the game now for the middling programs. But no one can replace Garcia, so hopefully they bring in several high character impact players like Hawkins was.

McDermott would be an excellent hire, but with his success he could land a higher profile job if he wants it. Sean Miller would be interesting, but he was forced out of Arizona for alleged academic misconduct, bribery, and a loan cover-up, some of which might now be legal or irrelevant. But I...

The Hurley boys are good coaches, but also A$$holes on the court. I have been to ASU games numerous times, and Bobby has never, ever agreed with a call against his team. He stomps his feet, waves his arms wildly, and constantly complains to the officials. At times he will even have his players...

If they have their general education done they can read…..except at U of North Carolina, where classes are optional for athletes.

I see no reason to think next year’s team will be better. They will be very young. Grove hasn’t played at all. Betts plays sparingly in his third year, though he is only two years from leaving high school. They will need to bring in at least four significant transfers to complete, and hope the...
