Yes it is. Cold weather. Outdated arena. Lots of great local HS basketball but they want to spread their wings elsewhere understandably.

Who is probably the second or third best coach in the MWC, LOL. We had the other guy from the MWC, but they ran him out. Will run this guy out too I'm sure.

The players really hold the cards here, especially in the current climate. If elite black athletes started shunning programs with white coaches there would be more black coaches. Wont happen, but it would make noise if it did. I hope the next coach is black and successful. I would of course...

About 80% of the college players are black, at least at high DI programs. You'd think that a greater percentage of coaches would also be black. The fact thats not the case raises questions. Would be cool if the next Gopher coach is also African American, but its got to be someone with a track...

Only 3 pages on this thread tells you all you need to know about the state of MBB in MN and in general. Tubby Smith was the most successful Gophers coach in the last 25 years. And run out of town. Good luck to Coyle.

Both can be true, you know.

No idea if Ben will be retained or not, but his coaching staff does a pretty darn good job of working with the talent they get into the building. 7-11 is a very respectable record for this outfit. Can Ben recruit and retain quality players over multiple years? If he could, I think he's now...

Ben would consistently win at MN if he could recruit and most importantly, retain, players. He gets his guys ready to play and the X's and Os are pretty good. He has a terrible time managing players minutes and rotations, which has contributed to the exodus of talent. I dont think he's back...

He either needs to stay in the draft or come back to MN. Transferring to a new coach/team with uncertain usage would be a very risky move for Year 2.

Let MCBB die. Then maybe it can start over.

How many visits has this guy taken already? Hope he finds it worth all the disruption. Would seem difficult to keep up with schoolwork at minimum.

A big Welcome Back and Thank You to MM. Hope we can take a step forward next year.

Great news. If Garcia can shoot, shoot, shoot all summer and get his 3pt percentage to 38% with volume, it would make a world of difference for both him and the team next season.

LOL. College coaches are pure trash.

The difference between the NBA and M-CBB is like the difference between a high school orchestra and the Chicago Chamber. The M-CBB product has never been worse and little point in watching unless its your team/player.

I also think he was unhappy with PT and not getting enough feeds in the post. The guy had no problem clearing space for entry passes; they just rarely came.

Hope they are both back for continuity's sake and that both get solid PT.

Carrington and JOJ probably going to lower-tier schools, though JOJ has some real potential that was untapped by our coaching staff. Payne will go to a strong school but he better choose wisely.

If he's THAT good why didn't he just declare for the NBA draft? 500K per year coming off the season he had? He's a good player but whatever the hell is going on in college basketball, it cant continue.

Payne will be nearly impossible to replace but if we're lucky, the incoming/outgoing player swap could actually improve the team on the court.
