I never made that argument. You said you'd rather keep Ben Johnson than go with Craig Smith. If my options are Craig Smith or a realistic coach my choosing, I'd never pick Craig Smith. If my options are Craig Smith or Ben Johnson, I'd pick Craig Smith every single time.

Not all "lack of performance" are created equal. I wouldn't be excited about Craig Smith, but I can't see any rationale argument that Craig Smith would be a worse option than Ben Johnson.

I was actually thinking this last night. He is such a skilled player, he is one of my favorite players to watch but that flopping is just unbearable.

I don't know how true this is, but I think DeLaSalle is somewhat similar to Cretin now. DeLaSalle used to pull a lot of the Catholic kids out of the traditionally Polish neighborhoods in North / NE / St. Anthony. But by the late 80s / mid-90s, the demographics had changed and those families went...

Yeah, the majority of the students are still Mpls/Saint Paul. But it's not like it was (from my understanding). The local Catholic grade schools were a feeder system and then Cretin would pull from the local youth programs. There is also the fact that Saint Paul has just changed a bit - like...

But you have to keep in mind, it's unfair for Craig Smith because he has had to deal with the portal and NIL.

We dodged a jab and are currently eating an uppercut.

How is it clear that Ben can identify talent? His recruiting hasn’t been very good. He has way more misses than hits. Every obscure recruit has been bad - we don’t have like. Jordan Murphy type.

I have no idea how true any of it is, I don’t live in the area, but there are certainly members of CDH community that believe the school has shifted away from its core beliefs and that shift has resulted in losing a number of kids/coaches to other schools. I’m sure there is a part of this that...

This is more or less true, however, Bollinger was the HC at Hill Murray and then left to be the QB coach at Pitt prior to coaching at CDH. There are a lot of reasons why CDH has fallen off. A lot of it has to do with increased competition for athletes and some other discussions that would...

Yep, the guy is really impressive.

We bought a $70,000 house for $2 million and we've come to the conclusion that $2 million homes suck.

I think the reason why the perpetual detractors have this kind of reaction is because the other folks do not hold the belief in the bold. LEN is arguing that we should continue on with Ben Johnson. It's our only option. That's insanity. The reaction to that kind of article should be pure...

We've brought in more talent due to the portal/NIL than we've lost.

Now I see why you like our non-conference schedule.

You're the one who brought up being dead last. But since you brought it up, things we are dead last in: Going to the NCAA tournament. Every Big 10 team has been to the NCAAA tournament since our last appearance. I believe every team except Nebraska has been TWICE since our last appearance...

You think the average employee at the U (pick a person who works at the U at random) would have a better guess than a die hard college basketball fan? Let me know the next time you're heading to a casino anywhere.

Rationale people realize that this isn't an absolute certainty. There are tons of programs that have improved with the hiring of a coach. We've been better throughout our entire history with a better coach. Almost every program at the U is in better shape. No one who has followed any sport...

Wouldn't you always complain if something sucks? If you're not going to complain and be unhappy with continued losing, what are your options? I guess you could stop watching and supporting altogether.
