2023-2024 B1G Basketball Thread

I'm asking because I really don't even know my own answer and I'm trying to figure it out:

If this were your team, what would interim coach Diebler have to accomplish for you to think "we should keep him."?

From where they are now, making the tournament as an at-large team would make it a discussion. One tournament win makes it a strong possibility. Second weekend gets you the job 100%

Wisconsin and MSU have had a pretty solid last 30 years thanks to in house promotions and low major in state head coaches

One of those was an agreed-upon succession plan. Wisconsin was a non-agreed-upon succession plan that ultimately worked out.

The other two were Wisconsin hiring Bennett and Ryan, both solidly proven head coaches at lower levels. 

and only one of those was dealing with a coach being fired, I think. Not to say that I don’t think it can work, but if you just paid a boatload of money to fire the last guy, it feels weird to promote his not very proven assistant.

I'm just saying there are a ton of "sure thing, Plan A" hires that don't work.  Then sometimes you miss on your first choices, and land on Jim Tressell, or your former coach games you into his top assistant, after the school wanted nothing to do with him.

It's all a crapshoot.

Honestly, if he can get OSU out of playing on Wednesday in the B1G tourney, that would do it for me.

Also, has there ever been a bigger football/basketball divide?  The only 3 schools not even projected into the NIT right now are UM, OSU and PSU

Alando Tucker tried to join the succession plan

Honestly, I'm trying to remember a time when a coach got canned due to poor performance (as opposed to scandal or something), and then they promoted someone and it worked out. I feel like it happened, but I can't remember where or how.

There have been so few in season bball coach firings I don’t know how OSU responds. Part of me says it doesn’t matter who the coach is if we take care of the ball Sunday we will win. E have more experience in football with the one game boost from a new coach, but just sure what an impact he can have in 2-3 practices before Purdue rolls into town.

Ed Orgeron, if the goal is a super high ceiling

[ELA]

Also Frieder was fired at Michigan, and Steve Fisher cheated his ass off to keep that job

Lol that's a good one. Both great and terrible at the same time

[MaximumSam]

Wasn't he fired because he was leaving or something? Though Fisher turned out to be a great coach, cheating or not

[847badgerfan]

Alando Tucker tried to join the succession plan

His number will never be in the rafters.

Still doesn't have a job, and probably never will.

F him.
