If only we lived in a tropical paradise like Madison or Ann Arbor, then we could be on Michigan and Wisconsin's level!

Ive never understood the focus on pace of play as a metric for performance. You alternate possessions, so it doesn't matter if there are a lot or not many possessions, what matters is whether you score more on yours than they do on yours. Ive seen fast teams that push the pace and are hard to...

Sure, he can win tournament games with all the built in NIL advantages at *checks notes* Colorado State, but could he do it here? Am I doing this right?

Haha, i was thinking that but wasn't going to say it

Gonzaga in the round of 32 for the 16th straight tournament. If the Gophers aren't in, I cheer for the Zags.

That nonconference schedule was ridiculous. I hope we never see anything even resembling that again. Can't imagine any serious team and player development happened in those games that you couldn't get from your own practice squad. And it put us in a spot where we would have needed a very good...

BC got exposed!

But does he have the skills to blow Coyle away during the interview?

I would think if he wants it he could be a head coach at a D1 mid major somewhere. He had awful performance here, so I don't think he will be highly sought after, but also no major scandals and at least now he has been exposed to the workings and nuts and bolts of being a D1 head coach (it's a...

The grade you give the hire at the time it was made is like the preseason football rankings when Nebraska is looking pretty good. All hype, no games have been played yet. Like the football rankings, what really matters is how a hire is graded at the end of the tenure. In this case, a clear F.

Definitely better than when, if memory serves, Tubby heard about it through a media leak before he was told to his face.

At least when he does it in a middle of the night press release, the communication leaves the public actually knowing whether he was fired. If he does it live in front of cameras, we don't know if it was a mutual decision or if he is going to honor the full contract (props to Johnny for...

How is he on the selection committee? I almost can't think of a person whose opinion i would take on basketball performance less seriously.

I don't think he emails, he texts his wife about how he expects to be in the NCAA tournament

No

But Whalen wasn't fired, right? I thought Coyle said it was a mutual decision.

I really don't feel like this is the time to be talking about replacing the coach. I've had my share of frustrations with some of his coaching and recruiting. That said, when this year is over, we will have been conference champions in 3 of the last 4 years (including this year where we shared...

We've seen different results. Tubby's years we're not amazing nor where I wanted/hoped them to be, but they were not close to the same ballpark as Johnson's. Even Pitino saw a level of success appreciably better than Johnson's. It's not like Johnson is just the most recent in a long line of...

E You could make it to year four year with a performance that would have you fired much earlier at Iowa or indiana

When he and Whalen announced their mutual decision.
