Dang!

 

[GopherBlood777]

Totally expected, but not at this point. Columbus getting hungry!

 

[Drake University Gopher]

So umm… does Coyle shoot his agent a text to see if there’s interest?

Has Coyle ever coached basketball?

As in Holtmann’s agent…

 

[MaxyJR1]

Will be interesting to see how basketball evolves with hiring and if it becomes like football in B1G and SEC poaching from other conferences due to the expansion and $$$. Obviously basketball has more high-end conferences.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

As in Holtmann’s agent…

Ohhhh. Do we really want a guy who's done less with way more and was outcoached by CBJ last year?

 

[MUgopher32]

As in Holtmann’s agent…

Holtman was mostly a flop at Ohio state. If we were ever to wack Ben. I’d hope we can do better than someone who just got canned in our own conference

We'll see if Ben is looking to change his assistant coaches at all.

Holtmann was underwhelming for sure, props to OSU for pulling the trigger at this point.

Well, prior to last season, he had five straight 20 game winning seasons at OSU. That wouldn't be considered underwhelming at most schools.

Has he made it past the first weekend of the tourney?

hard pass

I'm all set on Holtmann.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Has he made it past the first weekend of the tourney?

At Butler yes, OSU, no

 

[BarnBurner]

Huh. Poor performance leads to being relieved of your job.

 

[BBJones]

Take that, Jamison!

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Has he made it past the first weekend of the tourney?

Well, since only 16 coaches do each year, one who fails to do that has lots of company.

Ohio State can do whatever they want with Holtmann. I don't care. My point was that most programs would be churning through a lot of coaches and going broke paying buyouts if that was their standard.

I agree, I'll say some schools (like MN) are much more ok with mediocre where some schools (like OSU) are here for titles. OSU has plenty of money to fire and pay anyone they need if it means they have a better shot to win. That certainly doesn't always work but I give them props for not settling.

I think holtmann is a good coach at like a MWC level school much like he was at butler.

Refresh my memory, how many titles does OSU have?

 

[Bad Gopher]

Bounced as a 2-seed, no less

How long since Mn been to the tournament? How many ncaas has your coach cbj been to?

 

[howeda7]

5 years.

Two. 2009 and 2010. Quite a resume.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Really nice buyout. Have they said who the interim is?

 

[golfing18now]

The guy was in 8 consecutive NCAA tournaments (assuming he was in during COVID year) and now has had two down years. Yet, some of the posters on here are denigrating his record? We have made it how many of the last 10 years?

 

[UpAndUnder43]

5 years.

Ben’s the man no doubt

 

[Holy Man]

Bounced as a 2-seed, no less

Ohio State has a long history of underperforming its talent. Started before Holtman.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

We'll see if Ben is looking to change his assistant coaches at all.

His buyout is $12.5 M; what incentive would he have to become anyone’s assistant coach?

He can sit and wait for another HC job or golf a lot.
