It still exists but sounds like all the 8 teamers are on the way out after this year
I notice Arcrisure sponsors 3 different tournaments at the same time Nov 26-29 and a possible 4th event.
If the point of sportswashing is to make me feel better about oppressive Middle Eastern governments, it is not succeeding. I am not thrilled that their money is invading sports now.
I am going to be really sad if I never get to go to a Maui Invitational with Michigan in it. Ugh
Also it is very funny that he is going to continue doing his daily radio show. This is not a serious hire for GB. What is the thinking behind this?
Who is Doug Gottlieb?
He was a standout point guard at Notre Dame before working in media for the past two decades - at ESPN, CBS and now at FOX, hosting his own daily radio show.
I feel bad for all seven UW-Green Bay fans in existence (I assume @DMB43 is one of them – sorry, bro). What a braindead hire. And of course fellow loudmouth Jeff Goodman is pumping it up.
Shitty talk radio host who played at Oklahoma State. Got kicked out of Notre Dame for stealing credit cards.
Wait so has he ever coached before?
Not AFAIK. Just thinks that he would be good at it.
Huh? How’d he get a job then
This appears to be his entire coaching CV:
Coaching[edit]
Along with then-University of Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl, Gottlieb helped coach the United States team at the 2009 Maccabiah Games. He coached Team USA in basketball at the 2017 Maccabiah Games, winning a gold medal as the USA defeated France in the final in Jerusalem.[19] He had formerly won a gold medal at the Maccabiah Games as a player, but said “It is more special to win as a coach.”[19]
I think he’s coached his kids AAU teams?
Love how he’s touted as a Notre Dame guy when he got kicked out of school there and finished school at OK St
Also the word standout…
He piled up a lot of assists but literally could not shoot the basketball.
24% from 3 on 204 career attempts!
Keeping his daily radio show is wild. He has to travel to games and recruit! and ya know, literally everything else about being a cbb head coach
