Welcome home Coach!!

Unnecessary, I was there and remember it vividly.

Tubby had a much better tenure than Pitino did here, and that isn't really arguable. And they both played at a snail's pace. Pitino came in here talking about pressing and playing up tempo...that lasted about 2 months.

I don't even know where to start with this post, but let's start here. 1. If you though Pitino iso ball and a 54-96 over 8 years was entertaining then good lord. 2. Oturu didn't get hurt in the 2019 tourney, that was Jordan Murphy. And we were very unlikely to beat Michigan State that day...

That's what I said in my Gopher buddy group chat tonight. Nothing is guaranteed but if he can't turn it around, I'm not really sure who could or where we'd turn next.

Heard him say more thoughtful and intuitive things in 10 minutes than I heard Ben say in 4 years. Niko is clearly a very good X's and O's ball coach but beyond that, he seems to be an emotionally intelligent guy. All good things.

I'm not really sure what "official" means in these cases. It's not official in that he hasn't been introduced in Austin yet, but it's been widely reported and is a done deal.

How do you figure? I've watched the play 20 times by now. Gather and 2 full steps, don't see how that would remotely be considered a walk. Not with the way the game is officiated now. Obviously the traveling rule has been liberalized/modernized over the last 10 years or so. For instance, the...

100%. I was very conflicted there (and all weekend). Colorado State is an easy program to root for. Fort Collins is awesome. Has so much fun there during the football weekend when we played there in 2015. And Niko proving how good of a coach he is by taking them on a deep run would've been...

He's not a columnist tho?

It's hilarious to me that there are posters denying this extremely obvious reality. It's really stupid but the situation here is the situation.

My God you are over complicating this. We have a deal in place with Niko

OK, I'll be the first one to say it... Niko's wife (Erica) is an absolute DIME piece. She'd make an excellent first lady of Gopher Basketball.

It's just reality unfortunately. Grow up, you know how things go here

Amir was/is awesome, but I don't think it had anything to do with him having "good coaching" before he got to us haha

Stephon Sharp is the only example I can recall

No, he barely played on Ben's first team. But he probably should've gotten more minutes, and definitely would've played/helped out on Ben's 2nd team (give how pathetic our guard play was that year).

Exactly. We hired him here 4-5 years too early

Haha I can tell it is just your take, as I can tell you never watched any DLS teams under Thorson. They were 100% know for the intense pressure man to man defense under him.

MUGopher is an asshole. Just like most of the Marquette stooges I've encountered in my life, so it checks out.
