You are right; you are guessing.

Only to those who prefer facts to speculation.

Do we know whether Pride's St. Bonaventure visit was scheduled before or after he left his MN visit? Him following through on a prior commitment wouldn't concern me as much as him adding a new visit after departing the Twin Cities. Sorry, I don't how to illustrate the difference with a...

Dude, get a fresh idea. Maybe borrow some props from your buddy Carrot Top.

Imagine Lance Armstrong's surprise when he learns.

I'm not challenging the value of experience, but it does have a cost. I read somewhere that Rhoades' starting contract pays him $3.4M/year. That probably puts him in the top 30 D1 head coaches, and it's about 175% of CBJ's salary ($1.95M, I believe, or somewhere around 65-70th). Not saying...

Totally agree. The notion that he had a significantly less productive year because he didn't play the 4 - whatever that means nowadays - is just looking for another way to blame Ben Johnson (seems like there are enough already). Battle was on the floor because he was one of their five best...

Umm...sorry to disappoint, but he will never light it up there, as he will not play the 4.

Good argument.

Schleprock was taken.

Maybe he thinks MN is Mike Mitchell, Jr. country.

Seems like a legit concern for a team that was consistently outrebounded, lacked any help defending the rim, and experienced problematic levels of foul trouble among the frontcourt players they did have. Most would agree that guards are the biggest need, and everyone hopes Fox contributes on the...

Lots of time and talent still; patience is key as those four spots could swing it from doormat to contender. Just curious, what do we make of Greder on UofM hoops? I can’t identify any major transgressions so far, but I feel like I’m still waiting on a fresh idea.

Right. Part of the fallacy is that MN has more of a problem than other states. Another part is that every 4-5 star MN kid would have fit the then-coaches’ system (this requires that such a system exist). Yet another part is that all kids ranked 4-5 stars in their junior/senior years of high...

Truly groundbreaking thoughts. Hadn’t picked up on these before.

Right, playing tough D, chasing 50/50 balls, and hitting the boards - like, say, Baylor - will never work and couldn’t possibly attract top recruits.

You are so right. Total speculation.

And let’s not forget, we’re talking bottom third of that not-best conference. Obviously, Coyle made the judgment Johnson was the best fit available to him under current circumstances. Nobody on this board is actually competent to second-guess that judgment (though it’s fun - for a while) and...

Not to mention the productivity jump he made from one year to the next; his potential has not been fully tapped.

Are you willing to nut-punch opponents?
