OTOH Dan Hurley and Nate…

OTOH Dan Hurley and Nate Oats were at smaller programs, had similar winning percentages at those programs (no Final Fours), and are now doing very well at bigger programs.  There’s no sure thing but for every Porter Moser there’s plenty of success stories.

Is it that hard to take…

Is it that hard to take things in context?  As many have pointed out, FAU was a dogshit program before he arrived.  They have like 10 winning seasons in their entire history and May is responsible for 6 of them.

This is the best hire they…

This is the best hire they could’ve made IMO.  Wright was never an option, Calipari isn’t yet available and 90% of the board hated the idea of him.  Of the realistic options May is the most proven and seemingly has the highest ceiling.  Excellent hire and done in a timely enough fashion to try and salvage a roster for next year.

Yeah I’m surprised Mattas…

Yeah I’m surprised Mattas name hasn’t been brought up yet.  He’s only 56 oddly enough, and was elite at Ohio State.  His tenure flamed out because of his back problems, but if he’s back and coaching again then he’s presumably gotten that appropriately treated.  I would definitely call him and gauge his interest level.

He’s at Northwestern.  The…

He’s at Northwestern.  The same Northwestern that never made the tournament before him.  How can you say he’s been mediocre?

Ditto.  Also had McNeese…

Ditto.  Also had McNeese beating Samford to go to the S16.  And Auburn winning it all.  Oops.

When Michigans in it I always pick them to go far which has been very reliable.  Without Michigan in it I don’t have that safety net to go to. My bracket is fucked this year.

More like Northwesterns…

More like Northwesterns ceiling isn’t very high

Yeah I’m a pass on Medved. …

Yeah I’m a pass on Medved.  That first half was horrendous.  11 points??

This Kampe guy has his team playing pretty well.  We should look at him.  (Yes that’s sarcasm if you were wondering).

What's next?  A domestic…

What's next?  A domestic violence awareness commercial starring Miles Bridges?  A sexual assault awareness commercial starring Keith Appling, Adreian Payne, Travis Walton, and Mateen Cleaves?

He's only been to one other…

He's only been to one other national title game.  His record in the Final Four is appalling.

Izzo trying to justify the fact that his undeserving MSU team took bids away from more deserving mid majors.

lol yes I’m sure the school…

lol yes I’m sure the school intentionally fucked Juwan over because he was part of the Fab 5.  What a moronic take.

Weird statement since both…

Weird statement since both of our football programs hired first time head coaches.

And to be clear, I never…

And to be clear, I never doubted the veracity of what The Athletic reported in regards to Stalions gate.  The issue I, and I'm guessing many others, take is in media outlets like The Athletic and others making it out to be the scandal of the century when in reality it's a minor offense even per the NCAA's own rulebook.  So I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of what Quinn reported.  Him threatening to slap his son and creating a culture of fear should've resulted in him being shown the door sooner.  I know Michigan State lets Izzo get away with whatever he wants but we should strive to be better than places like that.

Given what we know about the…

Given what we know about the histories of the two individuals involved, I’m inclined to believe Sandersons account is pretty close to the truth.  Sanderson has never been had any other issues that we know of, while Juwan has gotten into multiple altercations with multiple different people.  It’s kinda hard to mistake a guy charging at you and needing to be held back as anything but a guy looking for a fight.  That should’ve been the last straw for Juwan given his other previous incidents.

I think Warde made a business decision here.  He saw that ticket sales were plummeting and there was likely no chance things would get better with Juwan at the helm.  But the notion that this firing couldn’t have justifiably been made sooner is false.

Bacon once again saying…

Bacon once again saying absolutely nothing of substance.  I could say Brad Stevens might consider the job if asked but nobody knows if he’ll be asked or if he’d really consider it.

He should’ve been fired…

He should’ve been fired after the Sanderson incident.  He was on a zero tolerance policy supposedly yet got away with another incident where he tried to get into a physical altercation.  The other stuff mentioned in Quinn’s article just show that Juwan had a bullet proof vest while he was here.

Warde had nothing to do with…

Warde had nothing to do with winning the national championship.  It was all Harbaugh, the coaches and the players.  Warde almost hindered that with his complete unwillingness to stand up for Harbaugh thus leading to him being suspended for 6 games.

You kinda lose legend status when you lead the program to depths never before seen

Lol fuck off Jace.  Dude…

Lol fuck off Jace.  Dude would be picked last at the NCRB.

They’d have to start by…

They’d have to start by explaining why Jace Howard plays at all.  One of the worst players I’ve ever seen.

11 turnovers in the first…

11 turnovers in the first half.  Great coaching Juwan.

He’s awful.  The entire…

He’s awful.  The entire roster needs to portal out.

Desmond calling him out on live TV for being a huge bitch will never get old.

So he recruits other…

So he recruits other positions besides RB well too?  Sounds like a great hire to me!

Bacon is great at using a…

Bacon is great at using a lot of words to say nothing at all.

I don’t see him doing that…

I don’t see him doing that though.  For all his faults as a coach, Juwan is a competitor and he does love this university.  I don’t see him stepping away accepting that he bottomed things out and can’t fix it.

Lol do you really care if…

Lol do you really care if the entire team bolts or Jalen Rose starts getting pissy on Twitter?  Who gives a F.  If you wanna see what rock bottom really is just wait til next year with Juwan at the helm.  0-20 in conference would be not only a possibility but even a likely outcome.

lol, these are my favorite…

lol, these are my favorite kind of posts.  “Remember when you wanted this coach last time???  You were wrong!”

make all the excuses you want for Juwan.  This team has enough talent to not be historically bad.  He’s an awful coach and there are plenty of candidates out there who can do better regardless of our NIL and admissions restrictions.

Beating nonconference…

Beating nonconference cupcakes is a step up from where we are now.  Central Michigan, Long Beach St, McNeese St….

That would be refreshing…

That would be refreshing actually.  But waiting until game 30 to say that you’re gonna start working on the basics is a slap in the face to the fan base.

Sure seems like we could use…

Sure seems like we could use a strength and conditioning coach.

Why does he deserve that?…

Why does he deserve that? Because he played here 30 years ago? Fuck that.  We had a chance to make a change, instill some new energy and maybe finish on a positive note.  OSU has shown that’s possible.  Instead we’re playing out the strings and gonna end with multiple 20+ point blowouts to bottom half Big Ten teams.  Nothing positive to point towards.

lol.  How many turnovers can…

lol.  How many turnovers can we have just dribbling the ball around?  How have we only forced like 3 missed shots all half?  Honest to god I’ve watched elementary school teams better coached than this.  Juwan wouldn’t get another head coaching gig anywhere else in the country.

Glad we lost our strength…

Glad we lost our strength coach cuz Jace is an entitled shit.  Also he’s a terrible player to boot.

Juwan has lost 3 in a row to…

Juwan has lost 3 in a row to Rutgers.  He has yet to beat Illinois, another team we owned prior to his arrival.  He has a losing record against MSU despite this being the worst 4 year stretch of Izzo's career.

He beats OSU at least so I'll give him that.

The head coach lacks…

The head coach lacks discipline, his kids lack discipline, it’s no surprise the entire team lacks discipline.  But Juwan certainly seems bullet proof at this point. 

It would be so on brand 

It would be so on brand for Warde to lose our national championship winning football coach while retaining our worst in program history basketball coach.

Who the F wanted Tray…

Who the F wanted Tray Jackson on their team?  Hes possibly the worst player I’ve ever seen.

They weren’t the only ones…

They weren’t the only ones laughing

Literal lol at the…

Literal lol at the commentator going “oh boy” on that Jace missed layup.

Its pretty entertaining…

Its pretty entertaining watching this team do everything horribly.

Triple or quadruple him or…

Triple or quadruple him or quintuple him.  Let them shoot 3’s.

Keep leaving poor Tschetter…

Keep leaving poor Tschetter 1 on 1 alone with Edey you buffoon.  What did a great coach like Spoelstra ever see in Juwan?

Not sure he really cares. …

Not sure he really cares.  Football brings in like 99% of the revenue so what basketball does doesn’t really matter.  He’s driven by money and making his higher ups happy, not by improving team performance.

And no coach

And no coach

Somehow we wound up with a…

Somehow we wound up with a roster with no big men and no guards.  Remarkable.

What’s the NBA equivalent of…

What’s the NBA equivalent of losing to Long Beach State and McNeese State?  Pretty sure Monty hasn’t sunk that low yet.

Dude, remember who’s in…

Dude, remember who’s in charge.  If doing nothing is an option, that is the option Warde will take every time.  He’s proven that over and over again.  Besides, do you want him making the next hire?  We’d be talking about Ed Cooley as the next Michigan coach.  No thanks.
