Where would Stull being going with only 1 year left? And why would Nze leave when he's primed to start and have the opportunity to play close to 30mpg? Hello McFly!! I do recall asking if you had any information to share with the board and you remained silent but spoke on other topics. So one could assume that at the time you did not have a clue and you were just spreading your usual negative cheer. Face it, before the "Xmas scandal" came to light no one else saw any reason for there to be a mass exodus. So don't act like you're some almighty foreseeing god just because your negative banter actually came true this time. With that being said terrible what happened coach PB clearly wants his own guys in. All for Mone and Braun being gone, long overdue. NEED grad transfers, and a big summer on the recruiting trail. Those of you deciding to no longer support the program I understand but I'm born and raised in Milwaukee, and an alumni, so I will always support the players wearing that uniform and hope they somehow find a way to turn it around and return to their glory days. Maybe I'm too optimistic shoot, ban me from the board, whatever I'm still a Panther at heart.

FWIW - yours truly attending games since 1073 at Baker Field House and was actually a fan since 1966 idolizing Larry Reed. What does that mean? Not much really

I don't mean this to provoke anything other than insight, but does Te'Jon presently have family issues? Otherwise ...

Those I can relate to the most remain loyal to the name on the front of the jersey, not those on the back. The loyalty remains through thick and thin. I cannot relate as well to the type of fans that base their fanaticism on conditional charity ("I will contribute unless things do not go my way") or put their own interests in front of the team's ("I told you so"). Unfortunately, in today's day and age of social media, there are less of the former and more of the latter. I'm in your camp. PB is the coach of our team. Let's give him a fair chance. Not for 11 years, but at least after a couple full off seasons and with his own players. He has not had either opportunity yet. I doubt you will ever be barred from the board, mrjamescott. I like all Panther fans, as we share an interest in the program. However, I wish we had more fans like you. Go Panthers!

I agree with everything above. I will hang in there but my struggle frankly is putting up with Braun. I want Baldwin to be successful, for UWM mens basketball to be solid and fun . I will support and route for the Panthers but it is just so difficult due to Braun's Machiavellian ways , alienation of donors, treatment of Jeter, yes, it was time for a change but the way it was handled was atrocious, and her denial of the mens foreign trip even though paid for by donors, why?? What was that all about?? Then I did not have a huge problem with the denial of the pay in tournament but then she was inconsistent and allowed the womens teams to go. It should have been both or neither. I have no basis for this but I sense a chip on her shoulder toward mens sports in favor of womens sports and this translates to the A D dept as well in staffing, who gets promoted or praised etc. I know this sounds harsh and may be taken wrong but I just think she is not a good person and there is bias here. Also know that this is coming from a person who is very far left on the political spectrum so I do not say this lightly. She needs to go...heck with continuity here but indeed lets see what Baldwin can do. Love the Panthers and want them to do well. Do not want them NOT to succeed to prove I was right about Braun. Succeeding does not mitigatge what she had done poorly and should be acountable for. Going to he hard though to fire her without something criminal or financial as the politics would be difficult. It is what it is....Go Panthers though!!!

The other thing I find really troubling and I am hoping there is more to the story or this is an urban legend is the Christmas situation. If this is totally true and accurate then what was this all about? Is Baldwin really that cruel and that much of a jerk??? If that is true frankly I would like to see him jettisoned as well as Bruan as then they are two birds of a feather, Can anyone elaborate on this? I heard another report of how Alex Prahl was not allowed to make a trip or trips with the team on the road to save money as he was a non-scholarship player. Kind of speaks to the pettiness and possible humiliation of walk on players.

Both Prahls were on scholarship this year.
