Maybe Robbin's uncle knows defense!?!? Hire him and bring Liam with him!!
Pitino out at Minnesota?

- Start date
MN, for the most part, doesn't get it either. I would rather see them at MN than WI.
I think Pitino is being treated unfairly.
Hopefully Tom Izzo will speak up in his defense.

Good post. I was thinking about this the other day after Nebraska beat MN. Talk about a great opening for Robbins given what he has seen Garza do. Does anyone know how the free pass season everyone gets this year combined with B1G transfer rules relative to a coaching change would work? I don't think he would have to sit out.
I forgot about his uncle being on the staff. I suppose it would be 50-50 if the new coach would retain anyone or bring in their own crew.

I kind of enjoy watching Lil Dick pout on the sideline. Fran should watch the transfer portal. Anyone but Beilein, who I don't want to see coaching in the B1G, especially at a team I hate.
Robbins clearly should have stayed at Drake.

Minny was a bubble team; then they lost to Northwestern; they followed that loss up with a loss to Little Debbie, which is probably the last nail in Little Dick's coffin
this is year 8 for him & he has done nothing

after our loss to them, I would have bet the farm that Minny was a tourney team. I just did not realize they were a NIT team!
Why dont we do the SAB threads for basketball like football?
I was thinking John Lickliter, Saul Smith, Keno Davis, or maybe Jr Izzo / Jr Hoiberg.
Gotta stick with a coaches son! Really think John could shine.
Year 8 of Pitino already. Time flies when rival coaches suck.
Seems like Prohm was hired just yesterday.

The Devries hirer would be interesting and the snowball effect at Drake as well with Gatens, etc. But Dutcher makes too much sense unless he realizes what San Diego's winter is like vs. Minneapolis!
It's a big shift for sure, but Dutcher was born in Michigan, went to high school in Minnesota and graduated from U of Minnesota. He'd know what he's getting into.
BTW, I wonder if Minne is ever going to build a new arena. The barn is the last remaining old school box in the B1G. (90 years old, holy sh**) Welsh-Ryan at NW is #2 but it's 25 or so years newer than Williams.

Is the assistant (uncle) Conroy? If so, bring both Robbins and Conroy. Conroy grew up in the Quad Cities. Our (lived in Bettendorf then) AAU played against him. He played at the Citadel ( the same as HIS uncle, Pat Conroy, the author ("Prince of Tides",.........)
But I digress. The Conroy family is steeeeeeeped in BB. He has contacts all over the country. He's been a college HC, his brother is coach at a college in Louisiana, ..... Would be a great addition to the staff.

Yes it is Ed Conroy. I have a question about that. Are there limitations/rules on how many assistant coaches a team can have? Hypothetically, if the new Gopher coach cleans house and Conroy is out, could we just add him to the staff as additional assistant? Or would he have to replace someone already here if we wanted to bring him over?
