    UNC with an epic disaster. Shooting foul with about 4 seconds left and down one against Duke. UNC player misses the first and then on the second....a UNC player steps into the lane.....negating the tying free throw.

    New Coach Short List

    It's a broad term that's been bastardized to generally blame a group of people that aren't white males for problems regardless of whether the blame is warranted or not. It's a dog whistle and it's usage is increasing as a catch all.

    Can't even blame him. As stated repeatedly.....even a great coach is going to struggle when teams can outbid you for your best players every year.

    DePaul blew it. Hope they can pull it off in OT.....but I have my doubts.

    Stanford just fumbled the ball to Hepburn who hits a buzzer beater to win the game for Louisville.

    At 1:19am, 3.13.25. - The Ben Johnson Era has ended and Ben is fired

    I'm not sure if it was all rumor or if there was anything behind it.....but rumors on this board were that Payne got something like $500k from TAMU and Garcia got $400k from us. If those numbers are true.....then it's likely that Payne got significantly more by leaving......since he probably...

    Thank you, Ben Johnson

    I'm sure that he'll have no problem finding a soft landing spot. And he's still young. Plenty of time to work his way into some more opportunities.

    Was firing Johnson the right decision by Coyle?

    Yes. He got his one, four-year rebuild cycle and it didn't work out. Wish things had gone differently, but the program needs to move forward with a new head coach. Need some optimism and the NIL money that brings.

    Wrong. Smart people realize that it's being deployed as a convenient excuse, often without any evidence, that many of the countries issues are being caused by women and minorities. Why look for an actual culprit when the blame can easily be assigned to women and minorities? I'm against it...

    Again....my point was that "DEI" is a dogwhistle that's being utilized to push a nasty narrative. Particularly in the past year or so. I don't think that was golfing18now's intention.

    New Coach Short List

    You've always been a reasonable poster, even if we don't agree on a lot in terms of politics. All I am saying is that the term "DEI" is increasingly being used as a dogwhistle to assign blame to women and minorities for problems and issues where it doesn't apply at all....and it's a concerning...

    If you're going to push race and gender baiting dogwhistles like "DEI" that are being widely used to target women and minorities all over the country....then be prepared to be called out on it. Don't play innocent or act like YOU are the one being unfairly targeted.

    At 1:19am, 3.13.25. - The Ben Johnson Era has ended and Ben is fired

    Garcia would have likely gotten a waiver for his transfer and I believe this was Hawkins first transfer.....was it not? Those NCAA rules were already in place prior to the wild west NIL free agency situation that's happening now. Hawkins and Payne went to the highest bidders. Hard to argue that.

    Got it. White coaches only. Otherwise it's DEI.

    So you're going to be mad if the new coach isn't white or something?

    Re-read the post you responded to. Transfers and NIL absolutely made the job more difficult. If the team wasn't scraping the bottom of the barrel for NIL.....decent chance that Hawkins and Payne wouldn't have jumped ship.

    COYLE FIRES BEN JOHNSON!!!!!!

    This. Does anyone need more evidence that posters on Gopherhole just love to bitch? Look no further than the folks now complaining about the timing of the firing release.
