I'm not sure why Mack isn't getting more play for any of these open jobs. I think he'd be an excellent choice.

The last 2 hires would suggest that Minnesota IS an entry level job.

Yeah I like Gus but in my opinion Fran Frischilla is tough to beat.

And those that do sure as he'll don't want him coaching the Gophs

We could just dig up John Wooden. Prop him up by the court with a hat and some sunglasses. It'd be like a Weekend at Bernies type thing.

As I'm watching I keep thinking how much fun it would be to have the Gophers playing meaningful games in March.

Gotta love Fran, I'm going to miss him if Iowa moves on.

What did you not watch Landman?

Some here aren't that excited by Medved but I think he'd be a solid hire. Not a huge flashy name but similar to Dawn P a coach that has built programs at various levels. If he is given the proper level of support I think he'd do well here.

Great so we'd get the Hurley that acts like his brother but just can't coach like him.

As a Minnesota sports fan of over 50 years, your statement makes me very nervous.

Don't you mean Captain Invisible? aka Coyle

NO

I give him credit for hiring PJ but he's also really whiffed on Whalen and Ben. He is also awful as a communicator.

If Coyle is going to bring Ben back he could just as well give him the Bill Self lifetime contract because apparently there is no level of suck that will lead to a coaching change.

So now that this inspiring performance is over, when is the announcement coming that Ben will be back with an extension?

I'm not going to pretend that the playing field is completely level but a couple years ago you had Ben, Juwan Howard, Shrewsbury, and Woodson in a 14 team league. Coaches get hired and they get fired, it's part of the business.

It sounds like Arizona State is not planning to fire Bobby Hurley but also won't extend him. He would be coaching on the last year of his contract next season. I wonder if we will see more of this as schools will attempt to avoid paying a buyout. Hopefully this isn't what Coyle is planning.

I'm pretty sure he came out of his mother.

What's the deal with the Big 12 tournament court? The floor looks like an elementary school cafeteria.
