Get the big hitters involved now. Make them feel like stakeholders in the process. If you wait until the end of the season, fire Ben and then go ask them, it will be too late.

After you reach a certain depth, you have official drowned. Beyond that no one is tracking how far down it goes.

Sure - I'll buy that. You would have a hard time finding a coach that is worse at schmoozing and hyping a program than Ben. That's no knock on him, it is just who he appears to be. I am just saying that coaches coming to a new job are going to ask for that commitment. Right now unless you shock...

Hey Sane- since you and I were pushing Ken Evans Jr during portal season - he is playing for Florida Atlantic and doing really well: 12 ppg/3 rebs/5assts/3steals/48% 3 point shooting. Wish we had him! :)

So....change the entire offense.

...and that ain't gonna happen unless the whales are really, really happy about who is going to be the coach. Good post.

embrace the suck

Patterson is too slow- Taurus Samuels part 2. Period. Hawkins gets his attitude from the fact that he knows he can blow past you at any moment. The only thing that keeps Hawkins from being an NBA player is he is about 5-8 and he needs to be 6-3.

We were at home. We played hard. We made 3 baskets in the first half. We looked intimidated and slow. If this was a situation where we were just better with our paid players than North Texas with their bargain players, but we mentally just weren't up for the game. Ok, live and learn. This...

I am afraid that this team doesn’t have the ability to GET better shots. They can’t create separation.

Go out and see the local big hitters. Listen to them. That would be unique. Ask them what it would take to get them behind the program in a big way. Then prepare to go all in with the cash it takes to get great coach and let the boosters take care of the NIL.

Last year they were entertaining. I doubt that happens this year. They will play hard. There is very little Big Ten ability out there outside of Garcia.

I was. I gave up my 35 year plus run of season tickets, because of the crap product, but I will go to a few games. Last night I asked for the cheapest tickets in the house and then I went and sat 20 rows up center court- so that is the upside of failure! Fox was hustling as usual but we had no...

The shots they took (6-23 on 3s) were largely bad shots taken in late shot clock situations. They will shoot better if there is an offensive scheme that creates openings. The players played really hard. I can't fault the effort. This is a combo of coaching and ability. If Cochran is Michael...

Garcia is not a selfish guy but his coach and team mates are going to turn him into Kris Humphreys with similar results if this persists. This is on the coach.

It would be one thing if the guys had just come out flat and not ready to play. That wasn't it. They played hard and the defensive effort was good. They simply didn't have the quickness to deal with North Texas and the coaches were not prepared with any way to counter it. Our offense was...

I think every deal made by any coach that is really good from here on is going to be like the Mussy deal at USC. How much do I get paid to do this and how much NIL will you assure me. That's the formula. Niko will go down in flames if he doesn't get the NIL commitment.

It was a total DEI hire in the wake of George Floyd. Thanks Joan! Dutcher was there. Mussy was there. Why do we always talk "affordable here"? The U gets 120 million from TV contracts. Furthermore it is ROI not cost that should be the deciding factor. How affordable is it to go down to 4000...

He better be ready. Any coach that is worth his salt is going to look at the tape from last night and follow that defensive script. Double Garcia and pressure our slow guards out high. Outside of Asuma, who is green as the grass yet, we have nobody that can beat the pressure off the bounce and...

When did you get the new marketing guy?
