I'd say the AD would be in bigger trouble but both coaches could be following him out the door after next year.

The funny thing about college coaching is that injuries are an excuse but then you get it held against you anyways.

This could be enough to make his seat warm. Michigan isn't very good this year.

I made that comment because of the other thread. I guess Goff was hoping the Illinois would win so he could get off early again tomorrow. Now he'll have to work a full shift.

Maybe IB was right and Beckman is better than Groce.

No. Both are weak.

I'll cut Groce some slack since 4 of his 5 starters didn't play most of this season.

Beckman is horrible. Period. End of sentence.

Do you want a new coach or are you willing to give him more time?

I doubt you can get a better guy. He had this team going the right way and then Rice came back. I don't know if that's a criticism of Rice as much as it is of the other guys who just deferred to him.

Anyway, I wasn't happy when they fired Weber. He was never going to be the best coach in the Big Ten and he wasn't a flashy guy, but he was a decent recruiter and a good game coach. Lou Henson was never the best coach in the conference either. Now they hold days for him.

With Elon, Kash, and Don

At one point in the season, they were missing 4 of the 5 guys that they thought would be starters this year.

Abrams
Cosby
Rice
Paul

I don't know how good Darius Paul would be but they needed more bulk down low this year. He almost certainly would have helped.

Cosby sucked.

Losing Abrams really set them back this year.

I was not impressed by much of what he did with this team which has some talent. But, this whole season was a train wreck from before the start. I can't say for certain that his leadership or lack thereof didn't contribute to part of the mayhem. He can't control injuries but some of the other stuff felt like he didn't have much influence on these players.

If they are not solidly in the tourney next year, I'd likely be in favor of his dismissal.

Hockey is on.

How the hell do they come up with the seedings for the NIT? This seems to be..........'poorly seeded'.

And why is a 6 seed hosting a 3 seed?

Fire him. Who cares?

Assembly State Farm Hall Center is being remodeled. They can't play there.

Wouldn't it make more sense to play in Bloomington or Charleston so fans can go?
Or.........Allstate/Sears Center/UIC Pavilion?

Maybe that's not allowed.
