Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 2)

In any case doesn’t this leak seem kind of malicious? Now Matta is unhireable and IU’s search looks disorganized.

That might be a dodged bullet for the rest of the league. Before the health issues, Matta was elite.

I’m buying into the guy on the 247 board saying he doesn’t believe they’re out of it for Stevens

Even if Stevens is listening, is he worth eliminating yourself from the transfer portal? The Celtics are still in the playoff hunt. If you hire him in June your roster is screwed.

Need the SEC meme of Alabama carrying the conference replaced with Michigan and B1G logos.

That is fair, I was probably giving him too much credit for seeming to do more with less. But they did fall off a lot towards the end of the year and finished fifth in conference. That leaves him with a second, and eight and two fifth place finishes in conference, so he is not that good either.

So who is the fourth best coach in conference? The desiccated ghost of Bo Ryan?

Tough question. Holtmann might be the 4th best coach but that would say more about the quality of the B1G coaching pool than anything.

I think he’s a decent coach, but just that. Should have earned a banner in 10 years. And I can’t overlook how his team kept melting down in close games.

One possible candidate: Pikiell? He’s built a program from nothing, after doing the same at Stony Brook.

So this Matta thing is probably true right? And IU is just running interference because of how bad it looks? How could Rivals possibly misreport this?
