He put the wrong person in charge of it from the start. A former NCAA staffer and compliance director was the guy he put in charge, no chance of thinking outside the box.

Played the whole, horrific night shooting until he hit a big 3 in OT. Played great defense against bigger guards.

That was a great game!

Have a good friend who was a long time B1G employee, lasted less than a year after Warren took over. Said he was a horrible leader and not a good person. FWIW

One time zone is better than four!

Oklahoma State in the NIT, makes four Power 5

Coyle cannot say that he’s been searching and talking to candidates until he has a position open. I’m sure he has been working the back channels unofficially for a few weeks. He did it with Fleck and hired him quickly after their bowl game.

Tons of $$ especially when gas and oil prices are high!

Has to be an old list. Jim Phillips is now commissioner of ACC conference and hasn’t been at NU for a few years.

I’m sure Coyle felt he couldn’t roll out Ben next year hoping for better results with more NIL and resources and if he did and it failed, both would be gone after next year(others have mentioned it on the board). It’s an experiment that failed, Ben worked hard, tried hard, but the landscape has...

TT and A&M have a lot more money than you think, plus alums like to support those schools. Pat Mahomes basically setup TT’s NIL fund and got them a big adidas contract.

Marquette has one of the largest basketball budgets in the country, at one time only 2nd to Duke, not sure where they rank now.

Good info, I didn’t look up their roster. It’s interesting that he got the Illinois job after one decent year(of 4) at Ohio. They made the sweet 16, but not much else as a head coach screamed Power 5 potential.

Some Illinois fans consider it their dark period when it hit rock bottom, yet he went to 1 NCAA and 3 NIT’s in 5 years and he was let go for not winning enough. I’m sure he couldn’t get the players, as they say ‘it’s not the x’s & I’d, it’s the Jimmy’s and the Joes!

Lookup John Groce, who went from Ohio U to Illinois and won 29 games his first four years in the B1G, probably should’ve been let go, but they gave him a 5th and didn’t do much better and they let him go. Now he’s back in the MAC and has Akron playing very well.

Did the janitor come out and sprinkle the stuff that looks like sawdust on the court that takes the smell away like in every elementary school in the country?

Time to raise a new Barn!

Sadly, we have to cross off Norman Dale from the list. RIP Gene Hackman

Maybe coaching matters? 🤷‍♂️

I’ve stated on other threads that the barn floor should be turned. Gut the interior and turn the court so it runs perpendicular to the way it runs now. Seats between the baselines would increase and sight lines improved. Hinkle Fieldhouse is about 10 feet narrower than the Barn(according to...
