It is also a method that is only used by the smaller schools. All of the Big programs in the Sweet 16 have lost many of their "young and developing" players to the portal and all of them can afford to fill their gaps with transfers who developed at other schools.

Sure, maybe you can throw in a couple of combined practices with a few of the local high schools also.... WTF, why would you want to dilute your practices with a bunch of kids that have no business being on the same practice field? And why would you introduce them to your style and tempo of...

Of course there is an upward slope.

it is not worth the effort

Almost as bad as when Hurley was taped criticizing a ref telling him that he was the best coach in the Fcking sport: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oTYVxJ8la_U

I agree. There was a very vocal local basketball crowd that vented about how they were ignored by the U under Pitino. So the local crowd got their way with local celebrities as coaches at the U. The local basketball powers clearly did not delivery on their promises and it showed just how...

Any info on how the practices have gone? Players that have stood out, etc…

In San Diego you can drive to any season you want in 2 hours.

All you do is go onto new threads and bitch about how they should not have been created. If you really think that, then just ignore them and they will die on their own. wtf.

I actually wouldn't mind if Pitino came back to the U. His biggest problem was not filling out a team with enough depth. His teams always had large holes to fill when various starters could not play. He had so many players out of position and counted on walk-ons to start at times.

They need to regulate the NIL spending like the rookie salary caps in the Pro sports. That would begin to re-level the playing field and keep it from swirling further out of control.

So how is Niko going to field a competitive B1G team that can consistently go to the Tourny and compete for B1G conference championships every once in a while? He looks like a really nice guy and most likely is a good coach, but that is not enough anymore to lure the top players to your...

Rick Pitino would make a splash and definitely improve the winning record. Have you seen the coaching documentary that is on Vice: https://www.vicetv.com/en_us/show/pitino-red-storm-rising imagine the Twitter comments from Richard???

I was actually impressed with some of the players that Ben was able to recruit. He seemed good at assessing talent and bought in several players that were better than I thought he would have been able to get with his limited HC experience. The problem was in keeping those players. I agree...

Get over it. You bitched about the coach his whole career and now you bitch that he got fired as soon as possibly after the season ended! Obviously, you're more interesting in just Bitching than what is going on with the program.

They got to aim a little higher than that. Not to take anything away from Coach Tauer. It is so obvious that in today's transfer protocol and NIL environment --- you need to not only find a person that can coach, but you need a coach that get the attention of players and draws them into the...

Maybe that was when it was completed and he wants to get the news out ASAP. The firing of a B1G coach is big enough news to be a major talker during the B1G Tournament, no matter if it happens at 1 am!

It would be fun to watch the southern schools play games up north in the winter.

Watched the end of the Gopher game and a major reason was their poor FT shooting. HOW CAN ANYONE that plays D1 basketball be that bad at shooting FT's???????? I know that there are some defensive specialists and people you do not count on scoring very many points during the game, but WTF...
