https://x.com/MikeAsti11/status/1903277713609150466 Besides, if the U loses out on an alum from right down the street to a program in an inferior conference when all the money now is going to the top two, the basketball program is hopeless. Whether this gets done or not will shape whether the U...

“At the end of the day, when you’re winning games, people want to be a part of that,” Coyle said. It begins and ends with that. PJ finished in the top 10 and locals have been lining up ever since. There’s been such an emphasis on bringing someone in who can keep local players home out of the...

I would think this is a reflection of them not having the money to attract the quality of coach they want as much as anything. The reasons for firing him are obvious, that goes without saying. In the long run, change for change's sake doesn't benefit you either, just puts you on the hook for 4-5...

There’s a trend developing here https://awfulannouncing.com/college-basketball/jon-rothstein-doug-gottlieb-another-season-green-bay.html

No matter how you slice it, the importance of having NFL experience on your resume as a coach can’t be understated. I think Winston ends up back in college in some capacity in the not too distant future. Like PJ, his energy and seemingly his motivation to coach sound like someone who is more...

The sport needs villains.

Amir’s having a great season and just had 24 against the champs. It’s crazy how little talk there’s been about him on here. A real bright spot in some pretty dark days for the program while he was here and after.

I'm good on having any skunks coach the Gophers, plenty of fish in the sea. Tauer being a Tommie lifer and building that program up is a better story anyway. Can't afford to roll the dice again with the basketball program.

*Community notes* Last time Bryce Drew was in a power conference, he lost 20 straight games to end his tenure at Vanderbilt. If we were to retread, I'd much rather the U go after the likes of Chris Mack, Will Wade, Archie Miller and so on.

This goes beyond Christie but the Wolves are very likely to add a shooter this offseason that's probably not going to be much of a defender because they can't afford a 3 and D guy. Christie could carve out a career for himself as a specialist shooter/scorer off the bench. You just never know but...

Christie wouldn't have any impact on those guys, have to imagine he'd be viewed as a 1-2 year project so he'd probably spend a good amount of time in the G League the first year or so. NAW is one of my favorite players on the team but they're going to have a decision to make on him after next...

It's really weird, people did the same with Amir and look where he is now, carved out a role for himself on a playoff team. It may be a similar slow build for Christie but he has the raw tools to one day stick in the league. I'd like to see the Wolves draft him in the second round, lord knows...

The guys transferring out of Wisconsin show you that it isn't about winning anymore so you have to wonder, who could actually put together a consistent program here? Musselman would not have the $$$ to make things work here, people mention Medved but he looks to be on the downslide at CSU after...

Ah yes, the old, if you don’t like it, leave it argument. People do not have to leave their place of employment to ask for better conditions or compensation. I’m not sure why people embrace this train of thought, we don’t have to polish a turd particularly as profits sky rocket. Universities...

Have known a few guys that played D1 and the time commitments make it difficult to pursue anything more if you want any chance at playing professionally. This stopped being about education when the TV contracts came into play with advertising coming with it. Combine that with putting games on in...

Don't think he's like Amir at all, Coffey wasn't half the shooter Christie is for one. Coffey was much more of a slasher while Christie's more of a natural scorer, better handle. Someone like a Norman Powell. His game should translate pretty well to the NBA, just comes down to whether he can...

It's going to be an uphill battle for the Midwest Big Ten teams to ever get to this level UCONN, Villanova under Jay Wright and some of the elite teams down south are at. Purdue's an exceptional developmental program, likely a step beyond where we can ever expect our program to get to due to...

They came in and undercut a profession that provided a living for people, we shouldn’t reward that by giving them free rein in our city. It’s funny because this would be a very different conversation if this were a company from another country. This will be a fun discussion when Temu closes the...

Yes, the right thing to do is to let corporations come in, using our workers to make tons of money and those corps compensating them with an unlivable wage which in turn, takes money out of the city and out of state. God forbid people are left to use public transportation that we've spent...

I think we're at a point where we need to seriously consider bringing back Joan Gabel but as AD this time. If she wouldn't have stepped in and forced this hire on Coyle, we wouldn't be in this position. Here's to more diversity hires!
