2. Get basketball on a rebound
Embarrassments on and off the court are what people will remember about the 2015-16 Gophers basketball season. On the court, Richard Pitino’s program posted one of the worst seasons in school history, finishing 8-23 overall while winning only two Big Ten games. It was worse off the court: one player was arrested, but not charged, this week for probable cause of criminal sexual conduct; three players were involved in a sex video appearing on a player’s social media site; and a senior was kicked off the team for behavioral reasons. All this came a season after another player dismissal and a player being arrested on two felony charges of domestic assault. Pitino, 33, signed a two-year extension this past summer that both gave the coach a raise and more than doubled the buyout terms — to a potential $7 million should he be fired this offseason. Kaler singled out the program in his introduction of Coyle on Wednesday, flagging it intentionally or not as Issue No. 1.
