Good players make good coaches. In BB if your players can’t shoot your offensive plan is basically just scribbles on a white board!

So which one would you take?

That’s a lot of people! The most we ever got into my 1973 Toyota Carina was 6. But we were pretty drunk, so we sort of folded more easily!

Since the pondgopher has been on here since 2012 and only has 28 messages, I am honored to be one of an elite group. What I can’t understand is the reluctance from Holers to see correlation between the Universities athletic dept and the continuing lack of success by the teams. Not all of the...

No the alternative is for the U to start backing athletics like some other schools do. It never has, and likely never will.

Coming from you that’s a compliment! Full disclosure: I can’t remember ever seeing one of your posts, so I was just making an assumption. Glad you assume to be comfortable with Coyles decision making processes. But as a general observation, the same people who have hammered the "DEI" hire at a...

Find a politician! FTFY

Right decision, wrong decision? What I find more interesting is the idea that so many are excited about having a new coach hired by the same guy who hired the much belittled Whalen, the DEI Johnson, who fired Claes right after he won a bowl game, a hockey coach who has made Gopher hockey...

If by second point you mean the 50-60 years, I am arguing that. I agree there are things skinned ones, but not ones who have done it that long. You simply could not be sensitive to readers comments and stay in the business. You may disagree with you detractors, but you really don’t give a bleep...

In the NIL era? Should be able to get free beer at Stub & Herbs?

I have no idea if Reusse is trolling or not? It is quite possible. But having listened to him for years, I highly doubt he gives a flying bleep what GH’s think of him. Pro or con. You don’t last in that business for 50-60 years if critical thoughts of your musings hurt your feelings. Plus...

Jerry Kill and Tracy Klaes (sp) weren’t flashy enough. Of course neither would have been Bud Grant or Jim Dutcher!

The Strib asked a few high school BB coaches their take on the coaching search: Barry Wohler, Orono (and former Gophers player) “I would like to see more support for the next coach. How about some NIL money? You can’t give a coach the minimum amount of NIL and lose two of your top players to...

Not enough like buttons on here for this.

I see references to this, even by him, but I don’t do X.

You’re right. He dislikes self promoting blowhards.

Were you talking about me? Or Reusse? Lol

https://www.startribune.com/mark-coyle-gophers-athletic-director-ben-johnson-fired-lindsay-whalen-patrick-reusse/601235907 When posting your criticisms don’t forget to mention how old Reusse is! Speaking of age, the reference to John Kundla pretty much puts Gopher BB success in perspective.

I really don’t have any objection to improving a coaching situation. My objection is in believing it’s going to turn this program into anything more than mediocre. Decently mediocre is even a possibility. But the rules have changed and money talks. You are correct about long time coaches...

You are correct. Maybe if it’s changed to athletics dept revenue you will be able to finish reading the post and get his point. Since the days of Thompson, McHale, Williams et al we just keep changing coaches and the results are similar. Maybe, just maybe, it’s something else? And what’s worse...
