So, your argument is that Monson wasn't ready because he was at some mid-major job before he came here?

Why did you post his win-loss record? My post was about public relations. Did you maybe read through it too quickly?
Winning to much too soon
Certain not to stay...
That's what I get for skimming. Apologies.
Rumor has it they are currently looking into time travel to go back and hire the coach who has his team from the Mountain West in the Elite 8 and who had a provision specifically in his contract to come here should we come calling.
The major issue is we never came calling. It wasn’t a search, it was a damn coronation, and we ended up with the frog instead of the prince.
I understand there is a defensive guru on staff.
Yes these are definitely the bigger concerns in my opinion as well. Much more to coaching than just recruiting. Need to actually create a program. Culture.
Running it back apparently. Another mistake.
Or a mental illness
Or that diploma on the wall that tells me who to cheer for.
It's my SSRI's talking.
Is he going to start sharing his wisdom one of these days?
It’s all about what have you done for me lately. Old school ways don’t translate to today’s game

No Sir. Not yet.Have we our two needed guards yet?
It's a slow boil.Have we our two needed guards yet?
As a Gopher fan, we've all learned it's an acquired taste. One of those foods that comforts us more from nostalgia than taste.
Must admit, the headline of the thread that early in the season seemed too harsh and unfair. Getting the sinking feeling that it might have been right on. Program in a power conference; there are opportunities for playing time; and we seem to be unable to close the deal on some much needed guards?
Right. Trying to give Ben as much leeway as possible but this is a spot he just can't miss on. I'd imagine he understands that but if we can't hit on guys at the Pride/Brown level, not going to be easy to have on-court success.
