Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

The loss to NW game would be the one I would refer to specifically on that category. There has to be a ton of improvement next season or he's out. Problem is that we don't have a ton of talent returning and the incoming recruiting class is thin on numbers, so I just don't see it happening unless we kill it in the portal. Even if we return the entire team, we return a a team that was barely above .500. Bottom line is that I don't see this working out absent a miracle next season.

Yea I expect it to get worse before it gets better. There's ZERO enthusiasm about the program and no doubt that's gonna trickle down to players. good luck getting any good players from the portal to jump on to a stale sinking ship.

This all starts up top with the AD. Him coming out and happily saying that Diebler "met expectations" with a 10th place B1G finish, 1st round B1G tournament out to the 15 seed and a NIT birth shows how the hoops program is viewed, they don't care. And then they wonder why a lot of fans don't care and the atmosphere for home games stinks.

2024-2025 College Basketball General Discussion

I know I'm kind of reversing myself here, but once you get to at-large teams on the bubble, there's a decent argument for picking teams based on viewer interest. It's not like any of them are going to affect who the eventual champion is anyway. What's the point of a game that nobody will watch and will have no impact on the tournament?
oh....i dunno.....fairness? rewarding teams who earned it? not giving in to corporate bullshit capitalism?
