Makes you wonder how the last guy blew Coyle away in the interview. I could see Richard doing that but not Johnson.

If we're talking BigTen Jason Richardson is way up there. Rodney could fly no doubt and was a great in game dunker but I don't think he excelled in style or creativity. Do we get to claim pre-BigTen Maryland? If so Steve Francis. He was fun to watch. Not too shabby in dunk contests as well.

No

If you can't get top players then you are going to have to create higher percentage looks with screens and motion away from the ball

In the Gophers defense movement on offense isn't something they ever see in practice.

I'm past hope. I want results. Like the old man says on Grumpy Old Men, "you can hope in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first"

I'm sure it has good features. Just not looking to sign up for yet another streaming service. Just the way of the world today. Everyone wants their 5 or 10 bucks a month.

I'm sure there is a punchline there about how the Gophers have been missing two top players, that another coach would have gotten, for the last four years.

Just another way to twist the knife for weakling Wednesday teams.

For F's sake the game is on Peacock. I can't even watch my favorite team go feabily into the afternoon. Live stat updates online it is.

I get he won't say it. He's never shown a reason to believe that he would have the foresight or ability to pull that off. I hope I'm wrong and hopefully it is a good coach. Time will tell.

Coyle

It's Ben's roster. If the talent is lacking that's on Ben. It is his job to get the best players possible. People can scream NIL all they want but there is another layer of player evaluation there that is off. Finding the right coach is a science and so is finding the right players. Backing up...

If it is people under age 35 voting what have they seen from Gopher basketball in their lifetime? Pretty pathetic when you think about it. I long for the days of Clem. His teams had worts too but they were capable of playing with and beating almost anyone. Four years has been plenty of time for...

At this point can we bring back Richard Pitino to coach the home games and have Ben Johnson coach the road games. Start something new, think outside the box. I'm obviously having fun with this. The pain of my favorite team sucking for so long now can only be masked by humor.

I remember watching that one with my late father. Good memory.

Not a straight line burner but those numbers explain why Jackson always seems to get separation. Quick movements and change of direction in short bursts.

Not sure how I feel about Buzz. If Coyle was smart he should have been stashing the other two million a year, for the last four years, that they would have needed to pay a real coach so this transition would be easier. I highly doubt he did that though.

Has Ben Johnson been paid 8 million over four years to be the worst coach in team history? What a world.

I get this example is football and not basketball but there is obviously a NIL backing for Utah sports. So like Minnesota does this mean the NIL backers prefer football over basketball? https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/38575432/utah-utes-football-receive-trucks-nil-partnership
