The excuses for CBJ are getting old after 3 years and 2 last place finishes. Would you suggest 8 years like Pitino got for no experience.

Sure, I think "collectives" are impacting college bb and unfortunately the gopher's bb team and fans are not seeing similar improvements as WI and NE, 2 of our main rivals.

It's all speculation and opinion why players did what they did. In the end it's on the coach to build and retain the roster and it's on the administration to hire and retain the coach that can successfully build and retain the roster.

But they ended on a significant losing streak. You say they left for the money, but they didn't have the money before they declared for the portal.

Gophers lost 5 of last 6 in the b10. Not a good end to season. Have to think a lot of the end-of-the-season drop-off influenced players to enter the transfer portal.

Agreed. However, the deeper-still not healed wound was caused by the athletic directors and administration that hired the subsequent coaches.

The athletic director and school administration hired all the coaches and self-punished the basketball program after the cheating scandal. The program had 26 years to turn around the program since Clem was fired and during that period hired 4 coaches and so far, fired 3 (soon to be 4). This is...

Details about 2023 nba draftee contracts...first and second round. First rounders are guaranteed contracts. Second rounders are the wild west. Get what you can. https://hoopdojo.com/nba-rookie-contracts/

If Christy doesn't get a guaranteed contract thru the draft, he's better off staying in college based on the $ 75,000 per month Christy is expected to get for NIL. The max salary for a 2-way player is $ 500k and the 2-way players are limited to 3 per team. Most others sign 1-year deals for $...

Was responding to a question related to 2019, at which time it was 2.

The G-League has standard contracts and 2 way contracts. An nba team is allowed 2 2-way contracts. A player with a 2-way contract is paid approximately $ 450,000 for the year. The standard contract which is most players is signed directly with the nba and is for $ 7,000/month for 5 months...

Naz had a two-way contract with twolves and iowa g-league team as an undrafted free agent.

Agree...and be gone by next May.

Last year's guard additions Hawkins and Mitchel were unknown and appeared to be fill-ins, but they turned out quality additions. Won't know until B10 season starts whether this year's additions were quality. A lot of work to coach these additions to worthwhile B10 players.

Wasn't aware there were legal payments to players other than thru NIL.

top 10 NCAA NIL recipients as of Feb 2024. JJ McCarthy was at $ 1MM. Bronny James: The son of NBA superstar LeBron James, Bronny James, who plays basketball for USC, tops the list with a valuation of $5.8 million1. Shedeur Sanders: Another son of a famous athlete, Shedeur Sanders (Colorado)...

NIL is a black hole. Everything is speculations and rumors. Where is the investigative journalism on this topic? Not going to get that from Doogie. I don't doubt the players are receiving compensation for playing for a team, but how much per year, who's paying, what are the terms, who's...

All coaches have to manage the roster, coach and are expected to win. Coyle and CBJ knew CBJ had no experience as a head coach, yet Coyle offered and CBJ accepted. Recruiting/managing the roster has been CBJ's biggest challenge and the results reflect the level of success. As far as...

Your suggestion to focus on defense was Pitino's mantra during his first couple years at MN. Full court press most of the game and a lot of zone defense. They won the NIT Pitino's first season but it wasn't a winner in the b10. Don't think the players were a fan either. After a couple...

Yep. Coyle interview about anything: bla, bla, bla, we love their attitude, we're building for the future, silence, studder, bla, bla, bla...
