Lots of people go to college for 8 years. Yeah, they’re called doctors.

I think Conroy was still on staff until Ben decided not to retain him.

It’s common to retain the assistants. Completely meaningless to the coaching search. In fact I believe Pitino’s assistants still under contract were retained until Ben was hired.

We just fired a true MN guy. I doubt we go with the one of us angle on the next one.

Who? Why does anyone give this nobody any attention? So because we’ve had little success in the past we should be happy to have the worst coach in our history? Just tone deaf.

1. McCollum 2. Wade 3. Medved

Bout time

I can sum it up in one word. Subpar.

On a pass/fail he’d get a fail for not making the tournament

No

How? We can all agree this job is tough but it’s been tough for the last 4 coaches + and Ben’s record is the worst of all coaches.

Hawkins is the only one that is anything more than a role player on most teams. Battle did make the NBA so it appears Ben didn’t know how to use him effectively. Garcia is here because of his family not Ben. The rest are clear role players. Ben’s rosters are not filled with players that...

Name these so called good players. He’s gotten players that are flawed or one dimensional for the most part and would be a better fit as a role player than starters.

No chance of big wins in the portal. He might strike lightning once then pile garbage around the one player and we get a season like this one again. Keeping Ben is just delaying the inevitable.

Who gives a crap? Just because he is a few games better than gopherhole posters complete guesses when they had no idea how a bunch of mid major players that never played together before doesn’t mean he is a good coach or met expectations. He has failed in every way.

Those are the only local relationships he’s built

I don’t disagree. Ben’s relationship with AAU was a big reason he was hired since Pitino did not have a good one with them. The hope was Ben could do much better with local recruits and unfortunately that has been a failure thus far. The one local relationship Ben has improved during his...

Locking down the border is what Ben was hired to do. Record aside Ben failed in what he was hired for. Zero reason to keep him another year.

Both NIL and facilities have been addressed here. NIL isn’t as bad as you’d like to believe and facilities here are top notch. Players don’t care that fans pee in a trough.
