    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Great win last night, with Christie‘s breakout over the past three games being the big story. Hopefully the improvement continues and the team wins 10-11 conference games leading to the tournament. I am still baffled by the over the top criticism BJ received for the first two years, given the...

    Coaching Changes says source they trust: Muss already sending 3rd party inquiries to Minnesota and ASU as well as several less realistic spots

    Except for Ihnen, a Pitino recruit who hasn’t produced since his injuries, wasting a scholarship.

    Coach Ben: Think Jack Wilson getting Edey off his game on Feb. 15

    Wilson is probably the strongest dude EDEY has faced all year. If he can keep EDEY from getting position for 3-4 minute, maybe twice each half, that might be fun to watch.

    Coaching Changes says source they trust: Muss already sending 3rd party inquiries to Minnesota and ASU as well as several less realistic spots

    I don’t think COYLE will fire Johnson after this season, unless the bottom falls out, because it would reflect badly on him. Hopefully the rest of the season is solid and he won’t have a reason to fire him. He already made a mistake on hiring Whalen, so firing BJ would be a second BIG mistake...

    All Things Isaac Asuma Recruitment Thread (Class of 2024, Minnesota's Top In-State Target)

    And you make this pronouncement on ASUma’s shooting because you have heavily scouted him or because you just pulled something out of thin air based on some game you saw in the past?

    Saban Retiring. Was one heck of a run.

    Tim Brewster is available too, Crimson Tide Nation!

    You mean that doesn’t emphasize/require academics.

    If you are referring to the basket interference none call, that was a badly missed call. These referees are very experienced. There is no excuse at this level! I’m sure their evaluation was downgraded by their supervisor because of that missed call, which can impact later assignments.

    Ben Johnson is NOT a disaster....

    I question whether Johnson was just a diversity hire, as some have suggested. We can question whether it made sense to hire someone with no head coaching experience. But Johnson is “one of us”, which we just love in Minnesota. And he was a former Gopher guard with strong local recruiting...

    Ben Johnson is NOT a disaster....

    we don’t know if Johnson was indifferent to the current roster when he became coach. The players just made a choice to find another team. FYI: Tre Williams transferred to Oregon State but played there less than at Minnesota. Next he went to Tulane where he averaged 1.9 ppg and 10.9 minutes over...

    At 3-1, are the Gophers good, does the B1G stink, or is it a little of both?

    The conference appears to be down, but you can only play the hand you are dealt. still it is difficult to win on the road in the B1G.

    2023-2024 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    I didn’t watch the SDS game. But I can clarify the three second rules based on my 33 years experience as a high school official and 12 years D2 and D3 official. If a Player is leaving the lane you don’t whistle him for a 3 second violation. If he has received the ball in the lane and is at 3...

    Not a bad idea. But i don’t think unlimited transfers without sitting out will be the rule.

    Juwan Howard Not Serving as Michigan Coach Against PSU

    Martelli is an excellent and successful coach. But I get your point. Perhaps Howard didn’t feel well? Regardless, Martelli on the bench is an strong backup plan.

    ***OFFICIAL MARYLAND AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I don't Know about Kelly. But as a now retire college and high school basketball official I am in total agreement with you on Ted Valentine, arrogantly strutting around like a peacock as if the fans were there to watch him. Wondering if he finally retired.

    Juwan Howard Not Serving as Michigan Coach Against PSU

    Any true basketball fan would know that Martelli is a Philadelphia icon. I’ll write this off as a classy gesture by Howard, rather than a reason to troll him.

    At 3-1, are the Gophers good, does the B1G stink, or is it a little of both?

    Hawkins is playing at a very high level and has improved as the year has gone on. He is their MVP so far and if he keeps this up could be ALL BIG TEN.

    Ben Johnson is NOT a disaster....

    That’s a good sign that people will change their minds if given a reason to. Some still cling to insisting they are right, despite the team trending in a winning direction. Hopefully a successful January and February gives them the chance to grudgingly admit they were wrong.
