Indeed, I should call him the Worm 🪱.

So you're saying Coyle was spineless. Yet, you won't call him a snake 🐍.

I understand that Coyle is a snake 🐍 and he showed us his character, starting with Claeys.

So...not Coyle then? He is the one who hired both Whalen and Johnson. If you want Johnson gone, then you most certainly want Coyle gone. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Have you not watched what happens when he tries to drive? Hint: It ain't pretty.

Coyle is a snake 🐍. He said nothing, in that response, except that he makes the decisions. Since Lindsay Whalen got 5 years to prove herself, I would be surprised if Ben Johnson gets fired after year two. But...the snake removed Claeys so he could do anything.

If Coyle was telling us the truth, he has a list of candidates right now and he's setting up interviews. Based upon the agreement, it seems like this was something in the works for awhile now.

It doesn't mean anything regarding men's basketball. Ben could choose to step down at anytime, if he wished. Whalen has been here longer and is burned out. I don't see Ben being burned out. He has a plan that he wants to fulfill. But, it is possible that Coyle establishes a gracious way out for...

This will depend on who the new coach is.

It's a Finnish name. The Finns accent the first and last syllables. AH-soo-MAH Toumela would be pronounced TOO-meh-LAH It would be like saying Ski-u-mah by pronouncing a strong SKY, followed by a soft you, and finished by a strong MAH. SKI-u-MAH! Do you know a Finns favorite car? It's the...

JOJ has been much better than I expected. If he continues on his current trajectory he will be a beast to deal with as a senior. Carrington has played solid defense and flashes signs of being a solid shooter. Payne is going to cause a lot of pain to opponents over the next 3 years. Henley is...

So, he's more like Kris Humphries that we thought.

I think you struggle to identify progress because you look at data and don't look at the game. You remind me of the executives in the movie "Behind the Curve" who looked at data and missed the game.

Great observation. If we see a mass exodus at seasons end then that points squarely to coaching.

Your numbers show me that you have never coached a day of basketball in your life and have never recognized the process. You hide behind numbers to keep from exposing your basketball acumen.

Are you leaving with them? 😏

Always the curmudgeon. We have been closer to wins this year than your mind will admit. You're merely looking at win-loss when the better barometer is to view the learning curve and the improvement of our freshmen. They are playing better and improving. But, I am sure you'll continue to find...

That is actually a great question that Coach Johnson will have to figure out.

When are you leaving? 😏

We are a true point guard away from winning at least half of our B1G games. It is unfortunate that Dennis Evans loves $$$ more than basketball. I want kids who want to be here and I think Ben gets one more year. (Whalen has been given a longer leash and she has been much worse so I give Johnson...
