There should have been more development of the bench this year. That is how you gain continuity. Tough to count on the next man up when the next man up has not seen the floor. We played for this year, without strong consideration for next year and failed on both this year and preparing for...

I think you are conflating thoughts.

Any style can work anywhere as long as you have the right players and you execute properly.

This is a VERY easy job. Dan Monson had to deal with the death penalty. Tubby was promised a practice facility that never came. There are no sanctions and there is a practice facility. Both Tubby and Dan did worse after this job. This is the only D1 program within a 5 hour drive at the heart...

Looking at this fairly, the win/loss metrics show he has not done well up to now. He has a worse record than Monson who took on a program that was given the death sentence, worse than Tubby, who was promised a practice facility, and done worse than a majority of his peers in the conference...

BGA, the real starting 5 going forward? Seems very disingenuous. The team has basically started two 4th year players, one 3rd year player and two second year players. That is not young. Besides that, roster management is on the coach anyway. Has the coach prepared the team for next year in...

Manderson, I think the job is probably easier than we give it credit for...just need the right combination. At some point, I guarantee you someone will make it look easy.

(CONTINUED) The numbers would indicate that the last 2 coaches have done worse after leaving here, yet your argument presents the opposite.

? Dan Monson has had a worse record since he left here in an easier conference on a team with no sanctions, .493 win % at Long Beach vs .527 here. Yes, really killer. Tubby Smith had a .605 winning % here. His post MN winning % has been lower. .479 at Texas Tech, .606 at Memphis, .403 High...

I don't believe the job is a coach killer. The prior two coaches had poor records, the prior many had pretty good records. Perhaps the prior two and the current one simply did not do a good job all things considered. Tubby was hired on the condition of a practice facility, so he can at least...

BGA, there are no ways to slice the numbers to make them look good (I think that is your point?). You are comparing Pitino to two other coaches who were fired for performance. Tubby's last year he had a 44% winning % in conference and a 61% overall record. The coach that replaced him seven...

I would be curious about the representations and warranties that were made related to build quality.

Why do you think it would be one of the biggest mistakes? It is an old building that served its purpose. It is near functionally obsolete by today's standards. Some people get attached to old sweaters with holes in them, some people view it as an article of clothing that served its purpose...

bga, that is not a plain fact. You cannot cite something as fact that is not a fact. An example of a fact is Carr had 19 points (indisputable). So are you saying the coach got them a 17 point lead and the players lost it? You cannot have it both ways. This is simply your opinion disguised...

Gustavus better be careful trying to be the best, you may not be wanted in the MIAC if you are too good.

We will take the win. NW does not look good.

Some of the problem of the barn is that it held up against the Metrodome, the Met Center and Met Stadium. It does not hold up well against, US Bank Stadium, TCF Stadium, Allianz Stadium, the newly designed Target Center, Target Field, Xcel Arena, etc. Fan expectations have risen and the barn...

Agreed BGA -- it's hard because they are not making it easy!

You are right jamiche. Oturu is already a beast. He will look 10x better when he is getting 3-4 assists per game rather than 1. He attracts a ton of defensive attention. He will mitigate some of that defensive attention if he makes the opponent pay by consistently finding the open...

I wholeheartedly disagree. By definition, if you are shooting a low shooting percentage, you are factually taking bad shots. If a team takes shots they are not good at making, that is a bad shot...period. That stated, I also think they take too many contested 3s. At my age, I am still...
