I will say that I was at an exhibition game between Division 2 Chico State and #10 Arizona in 2016, the year Arizona went something like 31-4. It was a 3-point game with a minute to play and Chico had apparently drawn a charge in the lane to get the ball back and a chance to tie. However, the...

I think a lot of coaches will tell you is how much of a difference the intangibles, the things that don't show up on stat sheet; like communication, leadership, technique, competitiveness, effort, things that only people who are with a team daily will notice; can make in the way a team plays...

I very rarely am able to sit through an entire podcast of any kind, but I made it through this and my big takeaway was this: AJ is a very well-spoken, focused and interesting personality. At one point, when everybody lost track of the point/question being addressed, she got right back to it...

I scrolled down to the interview that included Lew Holtz talking about the difference in a coaches (who have perspective regarding athletics and what their team goals generally are) and the fans definition of "competitive". All these years later, it was still a "spot on" comment!

Maybe she could have said, "and the usual white kids that have typically made up the majority of Wisconsin teams over the years" which is obviously what she meant to say. Sometimes when doing a live interview in front of a large audience, you occasionally fail to say what you meant to say...

As an out of state Minnesota sports fan, with a limited income, the spreading of sports over many different platforms is getting expensive and irritating. BTW, I don't have a TV in my house and my only phone is a work phone, which discourages adding Apps that are not job related, so I watch...

Being out of the area, I don't often get to listen to Grimm, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that he seems pretty focused on how the "refs are screwing us" at some point during every game that I DO get to hear. It's pretty irritating. I'm with you, talk about what's working...

Will be interesting to see how quickly he can pick up the timing and tempo of working with a partner on a radio broadcast of hoops.

I'm actually pretty curious about what Bueckers game is going to look like after a pair of knee injuries. Will she be the same, 90% of her former self or better than she was as a freshman? Obviously, I haven't dug very deep, but I haven't really heard anything about how she looks as she comes...

Another tragic victim of the Great Spellcheck Disaster that seems to have lasted forever? :)

Sor Sorry that I'm about 2 weeks late to this particular offshoot to the thread. Maybe I'm different than everybody else, but I feel weird calling somebody by their nickname when I don't know them personally. Even if they might be my favorite player from my favorite team, it feels a little...

Just went through the first 2 pages of the Division 2 transfers on Verbal Commits. Of the first 500 players listed, 267 have not yet hooked up with another team yet. I'm not sure how accurate that is in that at the D-2 level, some Sports Information Depts. take the summer off and not all...

That is goal # 1 and 1a. I'm also hoping to see the offense get going and look fluid earlier in the shot clock. A few more successful Run-Outs would also be fun to watch, but defending and pulling rebounds HAS to happen.

The thing that I'm looking for from this team is better defense, both in the half court and open court. Individually, staying in front of the ball a little better and particularly team defensive rotations, and general toughness. Will we force teams away from what they like to do and make them...

That time where having a decent Emoji game could've helped a little. :) If it helps, I (for one) was pretty sure you were being sarcastic.

Be honest, how many were watching that and thinking; "Just the Gophers luck that he'll hit 3rd base and blow up his knee, or worse yet, enthusiastically slide into home and blow up both his knee and ankle."?

I would think with the transfer portal being what it is, most coaches would keep the door open for players they really wanted who chose another option. Especially if there wasn't some type of personal animosity or disrespect shown the coaching staff or program during the recruitment period. I...

That's true. First dealt with that about 20 years ago with a guy who was frustrated at about the 6 month mark. I told him that most of us spent the first 5 years or so of our careers, paying our dues, then we start the serious advancements and that his chance would eventually arrive. He felt...

Generally speaking, the first half of their internship, they take up your time as you teach them. The second half of their internship, they start saving you time and start coming up with ideas and suggestions that may or may not be helpful, but are always welcome.

The more I'm around my interns, the less I like hanging around people my age. Young folks are far less boring and cynical than the boomers in my age group. Maybe I've been lucky, but very rarely have I had to deal with one that I would consider lazy, mad at the world and underachieving. Picked...
