Fran will be back on the hot seat this time next year. What a waste of talent 🤣

Hey if the guy wins 1000 games, I’m good with him being a booger eater too

forgot what happened but there was some sort of scandal that led to James Akinjo, Josh LeBlanc and a few others transferring out so McClung was going to be left with not a lot around him.

That is one reason I've been a little cold on Medved. Does he maintain the appeal without Thorson? Probably does to an extent but some of the shine is taken off when you remove Dave from the equation. The support Medved has had definitely makes me want to give him a harder look though, hoping he...

There’s been a fair few endorsements of Medved/Thorson from guys that are a part of the local basketball community. Maybe it’s them wanting to see one of their own in a power conference gig but I’ve been fascinated by how many non-former Gophers have commented on who should be hired. Geno...

I’ll hold my hand up on being wrong about Moser. Really impressed with how they handled Illinois. It’s going to be difficult for Underwood to replicate the talent he has on this team, this was the year if they were going to make a run.

i would have loved to hear your opinion on Chris Beard and Scott Drew if we hired them from their previous stop 🤣 would have been WWIII on here.

It's a solid pair but he set the bar much higher in his first 6-7 years in the job. Donta Scott's turned out to be a great player but the 19 and 20 classes were underwhelming by his standards.

Love watching Maryland play defense. Not the most talented group Turg has had been really connected particularly on that end. It’s weird that recruiting has dipped for them with the guys they’re putting in the NBA.

Put on Eastern Washington vs. Kansas

Would I prefer a coach with a strong head coaching resume? Without a doubt which is why I lean toward Craig Smith but what had Izzo proved before getting the Michigan State job? Bo Ryan? Matt Painter? Juwan Howard? There's no checklist of achievements that makes a great coach.

Tony Bennett lost by 20 points to a 16 seed. This is Cleveland State's 3rd appearance in an NCAA tournament ever. Turning CSU around and winning a conference title in 2 years is a hell of an accomplishment and I don't think getting boat raced by probably the 5th or 6th best team in the country...

I’d probably be right there with everyone else if we didn’t have Coyle. He’s had to make two big hires to make and I think he’s nailed both so we should take some confidence from that. I’d love if one of those two was announced on Monday haha.

I think worst case scenario is we make Dutcher an offer he can’t refuse. I don’t see Coyle getting beyond his 3rd or 4th choice. Breathe easy and enjoy the tournament

Winning cures all. When you have a bad program, an old arena will be viewed as a negative but when you win, it becomes a selling point like Cameron Indoor, Allen Fieldhouse, Hinkle Fieldhouse and so on. The great coaches embrace their surroundings and turn perceived negatives to positives and...

It’s been really difficult to get a read on it. The usual media talking heads are all over the place in who they think is the favorite but my gut is telling me it ends up being Gates...very Fleckish but in a different way. You? edit: should add that I’m still flying the Craig Smith flag but...

that’s the dream

Boston College hires Earl Grant from Charleston. Gates to BC a no go. Boy, everything is happening in the last few hours lol. Miller gone, PSU announces a hire, BC hires someone, Goodman confirming that Pitino’s a goner...it’s all happening!

The entire culture of his program is built around this system and he’s shown minimal flexibility. Could we see a variation of this system if he were hired? Sure but coaches largely stick to what’s given them success, hall of famers can coach one way at one stop and a different way at another but...

does anyone see this defense translating to the Big Ten? I don’t and think Moser is probably the worst of the options we’ve discussed on here. He’s landed recruits from the Chicagoland area that get overlooked by the P5 that the rest of the MVC can’t land which gives him the quality of athlete...
