I was happy when Steve Miller was brought on board. On the bench for Denver's back to back titles. Top assistant when Providence won their only title. Top assistant when Ohio State made its first Frozen Four in 20 years.
Don't know enough about Ben Gordon. Not much on his coaching resume.
Throw in TE coach Brewster in 2007 and it was 3 different athletic directors.
Throw in Whalen and it was FB, MBB and WBB in the last 18 years. Doubt there's a power 5 that can match that.
Pitino's "2 Seasons"
Year 3: 8-23 // 2-16
Year 4: 24-10 // 11-7 // NCAA 1st Round
Year 5: 15-17 // 4-14
Year 6: 22-14 // 9-11 // NCAA 2nd Round
Year 7: 15-16 // 8-12
Year 8: 14-15 // 6-14
Not exactly a blueprint for 'blowing a town up'.
3 NCAA Tournaments in 4 years including CSU's first trip...
Barreiro still plays the audio clip of Pitino saying....'uh next question....this is high level stuff here....'
That was after Pitino yelled at Johnson on the bench at Michigan I think.
Not that sideline/bench outbursts mean anything. Just funny it's still part of the show 9-10 years after.
Also, roster limits have replaced scholarship limits. Some southern baseball teams are going to give 25-26 full scholarships while Minnesota will continue to split up their 12-13 scholarships. Assume the same with softball, gymnastics, etc.
The press conference is irrelevant to the future of the program.
Haskins -> Monson -> Smith -> Pitino -> Johnson -> Medved
It was the white man's turn.
Weird. The first word that came out from Iowa was a cryptic tweet that came out an hour ago followed by official word 45 minutes later. Drake lost on SATURDAY.
Colorado State lost last night and the U will announce by early afternoon today.
The national ABC games are up 10% from last year.
Ratings for ABC, ESPN and TNT games are down just 1% from last year.
Most the hyperventilating about the state of the game was done around Christmas/New Years when the league was competing with the NFL.
Super Bowl week was dominated by NBA...
