It is not by players not connecting with Ben. That’s stupid. It’s happening everywhere - players have their say coaches, parents, and now agents in their ear telling them they will get more money and they go. And, they don’t all get more in the end. It’s happening everywhere in college hoops -...

Exactly. The quality of hoops has gone down as teams don't develop together over time. It has been fun to watch the Wolves develop together over the past two years, and we can see a future of them doing that without having to worry about some of the young starts leaving. This year to year free...

It will change though. I gave up my season tickets for next year, not because Ben is returning as coach but because I can't stand this new environment. In the past I would have been at every Big Ten tourney game if it was in Mpls. This year I went to one. That money will quit flowing as it...

It's really not. He played no defense, was lost on offense taking bad shots and turning ball over too much, and was not accepting of his role refusing to listen to feedback from coaches. At some point if you are simply going to do your own thing you don't play.

Carrington is not coming back despite wanting to

Something you maybe think about. However, only if you truly believe if he can accept his role, as well as accepting and making changes based on the coaching he receives.

No sour grapes.

Agree with your final sentence. However, he was nowhere ready to start most of his freshman year, even the start of this year. He played way too fast when he got the ball and turned it over. Starting in late December he started to get it and slowed down a lot, but still turned it over too much...

He provides clear direction to those leading DA. They don't do anything with a player before Ben, or PJ in football, have shared priorities.

Money may be a factor, but more that he is looking at other players than knowing he will get more somewhere else. The bigger issue is that Payne does not like the feedback he is getting and the role he has had and will have. He thinks he offers more offensively than he does, and doesn't like...

He also has to be willing to listen to the coaches about what he needs to work on to get better. Pouting because you don’t like the feedback you are getting about turnovers and defense is not going to get you on the floor.

This is comical. He is not skilled enough to be anywhere near a top ten transfer.

I normally like your takes, but you couldn't have watched much if you didn't see him making 3's. :)

This is funny.

Payne defense is not very good, other than blocking some shots.

Garcia can shoot, he can handle the ball, he can pass, and he defends pretty well. None of which Payne does well, other than block shots. Payne is not a player who can be a featured scorer, and he wants to be. He is the type of player who has a lot of development to do, and to do so needs to be...

Not really spin

Nope. Wasn’t sure about Payne, but knew the other two were gone for awhile.

Maybe - won’t like it though

He will only take the next step if he is willing to take the feedback he didn't like to hear here.
