New job opening for Beilein?

Yup. On, Wisconsin, as they say. Keep at it.

Some heavy stuff at Wisconsin.

I mean, the quoted statements by players, program guys like Davison and Reuvers, are pretty rough.

But then, having this out in the open is really bad. How is a guy supposed to grow as a coach with this out there? Itā€™s absolutely murder for recruiting.

Iā€™ve never been in a high-level athletic program, so I have no idea how ā€œseriousā€ the issues discussed are relative to other coaches. Herb Brooks is held in rather high esteem in the hockey community and he wasnā€™t exactly warm and fuzzy in 1980. Also, itā€™s worth remembering that this was a meeting specifically designed for the airing of grievances, and Gard apparently encouraged those grievances to be fully expressed and listened, so any issues at all would be discussed.

But tossing this out in public is rough.

His brand of ball probably isnā€™t ugly enough for that fanbase

ā€œPotter called out Gard for not having playersā€™ backs, specifically Davisonā€™s. Players ā€” and some fans ā€” felt Davison was being treated unfairly by Big Ten officials.ā€

This is where their grievances lost me lol. And yet Brad is the only one coming backā€¦

HA. Oh my, yes thatā€™s the way I remember it. The officials had it out for him.

ā€œAnd some fans.ā€ You donā€™t say.

Feel like Wieskamp is trending toward staying in based on his shooting, combine invite, testingā€¦

Really bad look for Tucker, if true. I guess the thinking here is that heā€™s upset he was passed over for the permanent assistant job, but this is like career suicide if itā€™s found out he was the anonymous taper/source. Who would ever trust him?

That is such a weird situation. Everyone in that room must be wondering who recorded that, but that person is probably never going to come forward because it could destroy his career. I guess things must have gotten really bad for a player or coach to think of recording and leaking this.

All of the above is genuine commentary on a truly bizarre situation. As a very partial fan, I find it hilarious that Wisconsin is dealing with this. Total clown show. Michigan has lost enough at the Troll center over the last 2 decades for me to react in such a petty way

You want petty? Iā€™m still trying to figure out a way to blame it all on Davison.

TIL he was in the draft

Talented team for USA U19, and a lot of names Michigan fans should know. Caleb Furst made the team and idk if that means he could be an early impact guy at Purdue or if he got a Painter bump since he runs the whole thing. He made the team over Kendall Brown??? @BP3

Must bešŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø I figured heā€™d be on the outside looking in.
