Doug Gottleib to Green Bay? 

Seems as if the guy's been pushing for HC job -- though he has very little actual coaching experience. 

Maybe this will be the one.

Wait a minute, he’s gonna continue to do his daily radio show? What?

Not sure why it's so hard to just...hire a basketball coach.

He wasn't a standout at ND. He got into trouble at ND and left. He then went to OK St and had a good career there

Not even really a good career at OkSt either...

Good assist #'s but not much else. 45% from the FT line is atrocious.

I’ve never been able to figure what makes people think, even guys like Gottlieb who should know better, that just anyone can walk in and coach if they’ve been around the game. And apparently dude thinks it’s a part-time job.

Hardly stellar

Because a lot of folks want a big name instead of a good coach.

Speaking of men’s programs only in major college sports….It’s time to do a behavioral science study on 1 year and 2 year NIL players (coaches could be included in their own study) who actually develop any kind of love other than self and money towards respective college / university….other than fake things coming out of a player/s (and coach/es) mouth/s.

No connection like it used to be.

Tates Locke died today. He was 87. 

Was head coach at Army in the mid-1960s when he hired a young up-and-comer named Bob Knight to join his staff. Years later, he was RMK's assistant in Bloomington before leaving to take over in Terre Haute. 

Also was a head coach at Miami (Ohio), Clemson, Jacksonville University -- as well as ISU. And spent a little over a half-season as head coach of the NBA's Buffalo Braves (now the L.A. Clippers.) 

RIP

Had no idea he was even sick 

[LamarCheeks]

With Bill Walton, you just can't help but think of those somewhat damning words -- What Could Have Been. 

Dude was a phenomenally talented player. But once he got into the NBA, he just couldn't stay healthy. 

I know there were lawsuits and reports of misdiagnoses and all that, I also know the guy could ball. Probably would've been a top 5 all-time center had he not been hurt all the time. Just had a feel for the game most big men don't have.

Oh no! Shining through the random, off topic, frustrating announcing was an incredibly sweet-natured guy who loved his fellow man.

He will be sorely missed.

Well stated Stu!

Another reminder life is short and cancer sucks.  

very sad news. 

[HoosierAloha]

Tremendous player, better announcer, and even better human. This world would be a much better place if there were more Bill Waltons in it

One of my favorite announcers and definitely top 5 people I’d like to have dinner and a doobie with

Bill Walton will be truly missed!!!  RIP Bill Walton, RIP!

The Covid year never ends. Chris Ledlum and Jordan Dingle are suing for another year of eligibility because the Ivy League cancelled the 20-21 season. So, in effect, they didn’t get a Covid year. I see their point, but I’m completely over 24-25 year old men playing in college.

Ledlum and Dingle lose in court. They’re done.

Good. I could see that opening a whole new can of worms if they had won.
