Wisconsin will be gunning hard for Tony Bennett when Bo retires. I don't see them going after Jeter.

They aren't kidding about the extra exposure. I graduated high school in 2006, and watching the Panthers play in the 2005-06 tournaments probably played a larger role in my school selection than it should have. |

NCAA tournament appearances of current Horizon League members:

6 -- Detroit (1962, 1977, 1979, 1998, 1999, 2012)
4 -- Milwaukee (2003, 2005, 2006, 2014)
4 -- Green Bay (1991, 1994, 1995, 1996)
3 -- UIC (1998, 2002, 2004)
3 -- Oakland (2005, 2010, 2011)
2 -- Wright State (1993, 2007)
2 -- The Cleveland State (1986, 2009)
0 -- Youngstown State
I'm very proud of this program's four NCAA tournament appearances over the last 12 seasons. They don't just give these out to anyone.

I have followed this program for a few years, originally taking interest during the “sweet 16” season several years ago.
Congratulations to the Panthers on their fantastic Horizon League Tournament WIN and NCAA Tournament bid.
This team now has a tremendous “image management” opportunity in front of and ahead of them.
In the coming days and weeks, this team has some choices.
They can choose an attitude of humility and privilege over “look at us and join us in celebrating how awesome we are”.
They can choose to be more dedicated to and known for classroom success over the partying/weed-smoking reputation that is apparent even from a distance.
All known to have close affiliation with this program can choose positive, entertaining, and informative social networking habits over the raunchy (and at times vulgar) stream of content that exists now.
They can choose an attitude and public display of adult responsibility rather than pampered, entitled, and immature youth.
They can choose to shine light on those who helped them get where they are rather than take most of the credit for themselves.
Best of luck to the Panthers in their pursuit of continuing to WIN on and OFF the court.

Best of luck to the Panthers in their pursuit of continuing to WIN on and OFF the court. You have likely described 97 percent of the men's basketball programs in the country ... or more. Hell, Harvard was saddled last year with a cheating scandal. I don't like the raunchiness and vulgarity any more than you do, which is a big part of the reason why I largely abstain from social media. Here's a list of the programs that mostly don't engage in such things: the members of the Ivy and Patriot Leagues. You know what I do like? Winning ... and this feels real good. |

I don't see Jeter going anywhere...until Bo gets dethrowned. Saul Phillips or Tony Bennett are probably higher on Madison's radar, but I don't think Bo is going anywhere anytime soon. I agree with another option, even those you possibly listed. I just threw out a bit of sarcasm, as to who really is going to court Coach for a new position. |
