Phil Beckner leaving for Boise State (and taking a significant pay cut). Some not great things going on.

would we have been better off retaining doc?


:wtf:


Doc's teams were lucky to score 20 points by halftime and if they scored over 50 in a game I considered that a high scoring game.

So, no. Regardless of how Miles tenure here plays out, it was definitely an upgrade. How many NCAA tournaments did Doc take us to?

Honestly, at this point I consider it a fair question.

Miles had one good season and it was a 19 win season. And it all rested on one player's shoulders.

Doc and Miles have been very similar thus far, it's just that Miles gets the benefit of the Arena and facilities as a recruiting tool.

I'm a big fan of both guys. We'll see.

Both coaches had/have good defensive teams for the most part. And I'm not saying Miles' teams have been offensive juggernauts but if you had to pick between Doc's offenses or Miles' offenses, who would you take?

sMiles doesn't even run an offense, at least Doc had the weave working like it's supposed to (minimally effective)

oak beat me to this over in the other thread.
Only question is, will he be ready next season? Or is this another deal where we have to wait a year? The best thing for him is probably a red shirt year to work on strength and conditioning (Something that Hammond never had), but I think Miles' hot seat won't allow for that. Bottom line is this is something that should have had been shown some urgency 3 or 4 years ago.

Having said that, I believe Morrow (Healthy) can pretty much score on anyone in the B1G. Even being undersized, he is very creative. He had a .639 FG% last season despite being undersized and injured. So my only concern is on the defensive end and staying out of foul trouble.

Jacobson is a good guy off the bench to come in and give you 5 hard, scrappy minutes, I know he started a lot of games but unless his mid range game is vastly improved, his skill set does not equate to starting in the B1G and having success.

That's not on him. That is just an immature, selfish move by a player. If you're gonna leave, you don't say you're pulling out of the draft and announce this a month later.
