So what? Teams should be punished for not getting their players vaccinnated. A lot of these coaches are letting their players have their "freedom" and now they're catching covid. There should be consequences for their behavior. I live in KY now and Calipari has said his entire team and staff...

MD is a good job for somebody though.

I'm okay with this hire and I'm on board with Johnson. I appreciate Coyle taking this calculated risk. Let's get behind Ben! Pitino was lauded just simply cause his last name was Pitino. I think he had 1 year of head coaching experience. So let's give Ben a chance.

My theory is that the Big Ten is such a grind that the teams are generally wore down. Every year, the Big Ten has the best teams and the toughest conference from top down and I think the nightly grind takes a toll on them and they just don't have the spry legs once March begins. There's...

As a black man, I'm cool with Coyle not hiring a black guy to be the men's bball head coach if he's getting a great pick. Now if Coyle passes over black coaches to pick some random assistant at the Univ. of Montana that no one has ever heard of, then that's problematic. But Clem and Tubby...

I don't really see why Musselman would leave the basketball loving fanbase at Bud Walton in the easy SEC to go to a grinder in the B1G.

If he actually gets another head coaching job, then I've never seen a man get so far riding on his father's last name before in sports history. Richard is the pure essence of privilege.

As an African-American, I don't need any white person to tell me what I should consider offensive or not, especially if you haven't walked in my shoes. If I talked a Jewish person and make a joke about the gas chamber and they said they were offended, what gives me the right to tell them they...

Coyle should've fired Pitino last season when the coaching carousel was more robust. There were a lot of good coaches out there ready to be hired, like Hoiberg, Musselman, etc.

Pitino is surely granted a lot of privilege and I think it's due to his last name. I've never seen a coach that hasn't done squat for so long get so many chances to make things right w/out losing his job as Richard Pitino. His leash is as long as the Mississippi River. I've never seen...

PSU is a football school. It's like Alabama and LSU. They will let BB coaches wallow away for a decade before doing anything. Fans just don't care about basketball. Minnesota is not analogous to PSU.

Yeah, and there was no practice facility either that was promised. I think all in all, he did OK as the B1G was considerably tougher than it has been since he left. Tubby had to face Bo Ryan, Matta, and Izzo's toughest teams.

I think it's time to change. There's loads of great new arenas that would be perfect like Auburn and Houston. They can make it unique so it's not a cookie cutter arena. But The Barn has had its run.

No one player should control whether an AD fires a coach or not, especially Oturu. Now if we're talking about a Zion/LeBron type talent, then maybe. The AD's concern should be about the long term health of the program.

If Oturu is even top 20, why come back? The draft will be much stronger next year and then there's always a chance of an injury. And our team isn't exactly setting the world on fire...it's not like we're a championship team next year.
