Think Archie is done for at Indiana? Pitino at Minnesota?

Pitino appears to be done.
Maybe Archie can go replace Sean.
But I prefer Archie stays. Pitino too.

Man I remember pining hard for Archie too. Glad Whitman didn't listen to me.

Maybe midgetIzzo will put in a good word.

Pitino is probably fine. Can claim injuries derailed the season. They did make the tourney in 2019.

Archie looked like a man thinking he was getting canned today begging for calls. What a pathetic collection of guards and inept offense around a very good post.

It's nice that he's got someone who believes in him.

Looks like Lil Ricky gets to coach Wed wondering what the AD will do.
22nd in attempts. 331st in accuracy. Out of 340 Division 1 teams. Lol Ricky. Looks like BAM has some trigger happy sharp shooters on his team also.

If Fukk Izzo hasn't chimed in yet, that may start after today's tilt with Sven's team.

Today's fishwrap.

"The Gophers ranked 22nd nationally in three-point attempts this season and 331st in three-point accuracy. There is no justification for that imbalance and lack of awareness of their fundamental weakness.

Players and coaches walked slowly off the court Saturday after another loss. Their body language showed dejection. It’s still hard to believe this season included double-digit wins over Michigan and Ohio State.
As has happened too often under Pitino, the Gophers couldn’t sustain it. They crumbled down the stretch, yes, in part because of injuries, but that excuse only goes so far this deep into a coach’s tenure.
Losing comes with a price, and Coyle’s next step offers no mystery."

I think he is not a quality coach and had the job handed to him. He somehow was BT Coach of the year one year, and they have been to tourney and won a game and others have not in recent years.

I don't really care what they do. All I was saying is he can play the injury card.
It's not like UM is some hotbed of basketball fanbase clamoring for his head.
From the media they assume he gets the axe.
