I’d be on board with him. I think his resume and results are reasons enough that his local ties aren’t the primary reason to hire him.

Ben was hired because of his local AAU relationships. Pitino was not liked. All I’m saying is basing any decision on that again would be a mistake and I doubt the so called source is legit and the media is just using that to make a prediction.

Speculation and made up information is what Strib does. It could very well be Medved but highly doubtful there is a legit source.

Let’s be completely honest here. The Medved steam is entirely fan and media generated and not based on any actual source. Coyle doesn’t operate that way and keeps discussions entirely secretive. People are just saying it makes sense because of the local connections. That in no way means...

Lots of people go to college for 8 years. Yeah, they’re called doctors.

I think Conroy was still on staff until Ben decided not to retain him.

It’s common to retain the assistants. Completely meaningless to the coaching search. In fact I believe Pitino’s assistants still under contract were retained until Ben was hired.

We just fired a true MN guy. I doubt we go with the one of us angle on the next one.

Who? Why does anyone give this nobody any attention? So because we’ve had little success in the past we should be happy to have the worst coach in our history? Just tone deaf.

1. McCollum 2. Wade 3. Medved

Bout time

I can sum it up in one word. Subpar.

On a pass/fail he’d get a fail for not making the tournament

No

How? We can all agree this job is tough but it’s been tough for the last 4 coaches + and Ben’s record is the worst of all coaches.

Hawkins is the only one that is anything more than a role player on most teams. Battle did make the NBA so it appears Ben didn’t know how to use him effectively. Garcia is here because of his family not Ben. The rest are clear role players. Ben’s rosters are not filled with players that...

Name these so called good players. He’s gotten players that are flawed or one dimensional for the most part and would be a better fit as a role player than starters.
