    Dawson Garcia returning

    Isn't a covid year just a bonus year? So, if he had that he could play 5/6 years?

    If we pay the buyout, pay him more than he's making at CSU and he's in the Big Ten at Minnesota, I believe he's in. The point, I think, is to be successful and win games he needs better support financially and administratively than what we have historically been providing.

    The other factor not being discussed here is the buyouts for the guys currently coaching someplace. We also have to continue to pay Ben. In the case of Niko he just signed a new contract and the buyout is 33% of the value of the contract. So, over $3 million dollars to get out of his current...

    Here is my experience coaching high school and D3...every time players were presented with an incentive to win....they crumbled...over 20 years. Example: Players lobbying for a day pff over Christmas or a Saturday off..."Coach can we please have Saturday off? Me: "Okay, how about this...you...

    Medved's Colorado State team almost certainly has to be aware their coach is rumored to be a top candidate at Minnesota and elsewhere. Medved somehow got his team to focus and dominate the MWC Tournament Championship. Without the title, despite their surge to close the season they were on the...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    I have not researched the problem of so many black players and so few black head coaches...but part of it I think is the strategy to become a head coach. The majority of assistant coaches are black....it is tough for any assistant coach...white or black to leap to a prominent head coaching...

    Ha ha, I would if I did, but in truth I did read it somewhere on the World Wide Web. I'll admit...I only saw it once and of course can't find it again. Ha

    We are on the internet...what's true?, what's a rumor? is pretty much a question that has to be asked no matter what you read or who says it? The far greater point is the track record of Ben McCollum....that is fact. as such he should be the priority. And that is just my opinion. I do know...

    Ben McCollum: Northwest Missouri State won four national championships, 12 regular season conference titles and eight conference tournament titles under McCollum. He won eight conference coach of the year awards and eight Division II national coach of the year awards. That is 24 titles and he...

    Has he been told he is back? Or is he just planning on being back because he hasn't been fired yet?

    Where does Gophers Rodney Williams rank on the Big Ten All-Time best dunkers list?

    better question....who is even on the list? Sam Jacobson might at least be competition for Rodney. Kris Humphries? Quincy Lewis?

    Johnson: “I have some personal pride that I’ll be the only minority coach in the league. I take that with a badge of honor."

    "Badge of Honor". If you believe yourself to be representing not the University of Minnesota but an entire race of people wouldn't the next logical conclusion be to resign? By staying on you are making it that much harder for a qualified black man to get a future opportunity. To me, that...

    We all have opinions...and I would disagree. Pam Borton took the Gophers to the Final Four. She had the rug pulled out from under her by Norwood....new to the party wanting his own coaches. Borton had her best team in place in her next season that she didn't get to coach. Well aware, not...

    Strikeouts are up a lot but so are home runs. I haven't paid close enough attention...certainly some tough non conference opposition...is the non schedule overall easier or more difficult than the conference schedule?
