per Chip:

In the end, Norwood Teague made the right call. The only call, truthfully.

He had to swallow hard and pay Tubby Smith his $2.5 million buyout. He had to fire his first coach as Gophers athletic director. The men’s basketball program couldn’t move forward with status quo.

A change in leadership seemed inevitable as this season fell apart. Fan criticism became too loud and the program too lifeless for Teague to sit idle. His basketball program desperately needs some energy and a new direction.

This is Teague’s first real opportunity to make his mark at Minnesota. Why not think big?
