2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

ehhh....most of Taylor's seasons were very meh. He's carried by the high placement in the 5 years they were in the tournament (my system probably gives him more points than he should get honestly)....

Miller shouldn't have been fired when he was fired. That said, I started this in 1978-79, Miller had already been the coach for 2 years and neither one of those teams made the tournament. Edit to add: When the tournament expanded to 32 teams, Miller wasn't even the coach yet. He still didn't make the tournament until year 4.

The way I scored this was rewarding the placement of the game. A national final was worth 7 points, etc.

Matta remains the unicorn in Ohio State basketball history. It's not particularly close either.

Miller was like Randy Ayers but without the thug driven blaze of glory implosion. He started out with a team of future NBA players and won but not as much as he should have. After that, he never was able to recruit teams capable of challenging for Big Ten titles.

That’s pretty standard for states and cities and certainly not exclusive to California. If you work in a state, you pay taxes there. Columbus taxes any pro athlete, entertainer, and/or public speakers for even a single day worked in the city.

How does that work? I get that one lives in the country, born or naturalized, you can compete for that country in the olympics. But there are several (probably more than several Buckeye women hockey players) that are 'ringers' for a country? Would imagine some sort of NIL payola is involved....

Aside from Minnesota, we recruit Canada and Europe pretty heavily. The Canadians are Canadian. The Swedes are Swedish. I actually wouldn't be surprised if there are no Ohioans on the Buckeye team. There just is nowhere near the level of high school play in the state to fuel a national championship caliber program.

California’s “jock taxes” force pro athletes who don’t live in the state to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the number of days they work in California.

Sam Darnold received $178k for winning the Super Bowl.
He owes California $249k for just the Super Bowl (they factor is his per game salary based on his annual contract)

He also owes a whole bunch more because he played 49ers and Rams in CA as well

This is a legit NFLPA situation.
I would hope the league would pressure those states to offer some relief.
