College Basketball 2023-24 Discussion

BYU alum and active church member here. Born in Ann Arbor to a Michigan family and so a lifelong Michigan fan. I like to see BYU do well, but don’t follow super closely and it doesn’t ruin my day when they lose like it does with Michigan. Obviously lots of friends and family who do follow closely.

I’m pretty sure church/school policy is that the head coach of any sports team needs to be an active member of the church in good standing, but assistant coaches are frequently not members.

not exactly, mormons can have Coke and Pepsi now, just not coffee or tea.

This clarifies it a little. Apparently it is not church/school policy written in stone, but has been the practice and will almost certainly be for a more high profile sport like men’s basketball.

definitely overpaid

literally the same thing we did with Hoke where we paid him way more than he would have commanded simply because we were paying him to coach Michigan

Is that really an upgrade for Monson?

He got fired.

I think I agree with the @goblue8 theory that Trilly is Goodman

He doesn’t really seem to have Goodman’s flaws. :rofl: His opinions on basketball don’t line up, he’s interested in things that I don’t get the sense Goodman is, he’s more like a witty fan than a journalist. I think it would be hard to act that way if he was Goodman.

It was but I couldn’t help but thinking of a lot of weird inappropriate Pitino jokes while he gave his spiel.

Eastern Washington is 18 miles from Gonzaga which was Monson’s first HC job.

We had a major job search and couldn’t crack the top 15? Not beating the football school charges…

We usually are a top KP subscriber team so I tend to think we’re just above rumor mongering
