No they would not have. They had a better squad last year along with those two and got nowhere near the NCAAs.

Can Niko beat Penn State, Northwestern and Rutgers? Ben Johnson struggles to. Must be all that NIL money in Piscataway :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

What has Ben Johnson done? Nothing. You keep disparaging D3 but Ben Johnson has never even coached there. He wasn't even a highly thought of assistant. And your Tom Izzo comments are a joke. Johnson struggles with the dregs of the Big Ten. No one is saying we need a coach that can...

The sunk cost is keeping him because we have time invested. The people wanting to keep him are using the fallacy... What is better...a 5-15 Big Ten teams coached by a 5th year coach or a 5-15 Big Ten teams coached by a fresh face? One goes nowhere, the other has potential. Ben Johnson is an...

Can they beat North Texas? Can they beat the dregs of the Big Ten? I bet they can...

Smith, who was just fired, does better in the non-con and has us solidly in the postseason. Ben can't even get teams into the NIT conversation regularly.

Yeah we would be an NIT team...cool.

That is a terrible gamble and will backfire when we stink next year and fan support craters. The job will be no more attractive and in fact, likely less.

This makes no logical sense. Revenue sharing means dick since the teams we compete with get it too.

Future potential of a team where they played mostly seniors. Lol.

It emptied after he was hired.

It makes zero sense. He is overpaid for his results and if he is canned next year (highly likely) you are in no better position and likely a worse one. Attendance will crater worse than it is unless he finds lightning in a bottle. If Coyle brings back Johnson and then he gets fired Coyle...

That is probably less than half of why Fleck is successful when it comes to NIL. Fleck promotes the program and NIL and that is the larger factor. All the things most of the media and the average Minnesotan finds annoying about Fleck (self promotion, quirky phrases, going on national...

Interesting response. Seems a bit over the top and irrational but since you are ignoring me (for discussing the counterpoints to the points you made) I guess it doesn't matter what I say. I usually enjoyed your posts but hey whatever makes your day better man.

He isn't blaming Ben Johnson for that, he is saying next year is going to be a disaster most likely meaning that Ben Johnson gets fired anyways so why wait?

Stop it. His whole tenure is relevant otherwise you risk the stupidity of making a decision based on very few reference points and that is almost always a disaster when it comes to sports. How many coaches cash in from small schools for the bigger job after a nice run in the NCAAs out of...

Good god your takes are terrible. Like awful. Sad even.

This post should be copied and pasted in every thread where people pretend things can't be better. Pitino was a mediocre coach here and deserved his fate but the program under him >>>>> program under Johnson. Pitino made postseasons, Pitino won an NIT, Pitino won an NCAA game. Pitino had a...

The Stars left in 1994.

As opposed to keeping around the coach who has shown he can, at best, coach ok for half a season? Let me ask you something...do you not want more wins for your investment? I mean aren't we overpaying for like 7 conference wins? No matter how much you pretend otherwise no one is pretending we...
