Why?

Seemed like he was going to be special. Greg Gard was on him early (first offer) and then everyone else started showing up, of course. That happens a lot to Coach Gard.

UW won't be a destination for him. They didn't even make his final 6 list, which was Marquette, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Xavier and Ohio State.

Not really sure. Heard some thoughts he wants more minutes. Also read Nebraska might be in the mix

Seems to happen a lot to Painter too. 

One of our jokes on H&R is that Tom Izzo basically just sits around drinking Mountain Dew and eating Funyuns watching to see who Painter shows interest in, and then swoops in with all the lights and magic of Michigan State and snipes them out from under him.

DJ Carton entered the NCAA transfer portal Thursday, he told 247Sports, and his availability did not take long for other 13 other schools to express interest in the now-former Ohio State freshman guard. According to 247Sports director of basketball recruiting Evan Daniels, Carton has interest from the following major programs: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Creighton, DePaul, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Seton Hall and USC.

Some much needed good news

While I am sure many parts of decaying rural Indiana are beset by "meth and AIDS and needles,” it's not polite to mention it on radio.

It seemed to become a little more than a formality before the season ended, and now it’s almost certain: Nebraska guard Dachon Burke will not return to the Husker men's basketball team.

Burke entered the transfer portal Saturday, a source confirmed to the Journal Star. The move comes four days after teammate Jervay Green did the same.

I'm far from a Dakich fan but I get his point. Helicopter parents make being a HS coach close to impossible. School administrators don't help either.

I mean, let's put it this way, the thing that got him going was legit. A school district fired a coach for what are probably not logical reasons (though knowing small-town high schools, maybe there's really logical season). There's a way to blast them, lots of good ways. 

But invoking the social problems and jokingly threatening to lay hands will earn you some trouble.

No doubt about it. He channeled his inner Bobby Knight. Love him or hate him, that don't fly today. Bobby would never make it. 

Dakich is toast.

I'm far from PC guy, but Dakich became a caracticure, and I can't wait to kick him out the door, whatever it takes.  #BAMN as the kids say
