    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    I know a lot of people don't like him, but I love listening to Gus Johnson call college basketball games.....he seems to genuinely get excited during great games like this Depaul/Creighton game!!

    Was firing Johnson the right decision by Coyle?

    I'm curious......can ANYONE cite a player who ever said that the Barn was a factor in not coming to Minnesota??? OTOH....I've seen many players commit and comment on playing at "The Barn".....

    I think most people on here saw his potential....what was unbelievable was his decision to transfer after getting nice minutes as a freshman. And adding insult to injury, he transferred to one of the worst programs in the country at the time (Depaul).

    Was firing Johnson the right decision by Coyle?

    I didn't mean it that way.....I'm just saying Seth Davis is an idiot. He made an idiotic original post about CBJ being "elite"....faced a lot of blowback and has continued to double and triple down on his moronic first take. Just my 2 cents.

    I didn't know that....surprised they haven't had more success in football (and basketball for that matter) but i suppose Lubbock isn't much of an attraction.

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Remember this is the same reporter that asked Juwan Howard to comment on the "white media" putting him and other black coaches on the hot seat.....SMH

    What coach worth a damn isn't going to have a buyout??? You're probably right. A guy could hope, right? Texas Tech just doesn't seem like a great job....and I think he's a really good coach.

    Does TT really have NIL money??? Lubbock Texas? McCasland making 2.9 million.....hello? I'd at least make that call.

    Mark Coyle hosting Friday press conference "expected to last about 10 minutes"

    Here.....let me save you the time of watching it: 1. We thank Ben for all he has done. Class individual. 2. We want to be a championship program. 3. We can win here. We are committed to being a championship program. 4. The search for a new coach has begun. I won't share names. 5. I...

    Marcus Q&A with Coyle: "I’ve started to have conversations with people today...I’ve had conversations with people about who is interested and not"

    Not gonna deny that had something to do with it....but he had also come off of a very successful season at FAU and he had worked for some legendary coaches. His resume was way better than CBJ and it was worth a shot. I think Pitino at least was on the radar for other coaching vacancies. CBJ...

    Marcus Q&A with Coyle: "I’ve started to have conversations with people today...I’ve had conversations with people about who is interested and not"

    Whalen hiring was widely praised at the time it happened. It didn't work. Dawn P. looks like a good hire, although it's early. Pitino? I don't know how to judge it. He appears to be a good coach now. It didn't work here, but they obviously saw something in him when he was hired. Ben was...

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

    Can Rigsby come back because he started at junior college? Seems the recent Supreme Court decisions would say yes????

    Was firing Johnson the right decision by Coyle?

    Coyle is on the selection committee. Flew back to join them at 5 am. Doing it over the phone would've been lacking dignity and respect. Having a press conference to announce it would have been a shit show and rubbing Ben's face in it. Seems you have an axe to grind with Coyle. This is, at...

    Just watched the Badger whip Northwestern. And I must say Nick Martinelli is one of the ugliest, non-aesthetic players in the history of basketball, but DAMN, he's effective, even with the whole team keying in on him.

    Was firing Johnson the right decision by Coyle?

    What? How is putting out the press release (after firing him face-to-face "incredibly disrespectful to Ben Johnson?" Would it have been better to wait and let all the rumors and speculation take place first? How many reporters or Twitter warriors would've been trying to contact Ben to ask him...

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

    I am simply amazed at the people who are critical of Coyle putting out the release at 1:30 last night. It's being called "brutal" as well as other things. I've got absolutely no problem with it. In fact, I applaud it. Coyle took a flight and fired Ben in person, something he didn't have to...
