Ok help me understand i texted 2 questions for Ben during the show and Gary goes thru Facebook and X should Gary look at all of the medians?
Ben McCollum show
- Thread starter Buffalo43
- Start date
This is one of the best answers on his offensive philosophy. Very detailed. If you want to know why the 'pocket pass' is used as much as it is.
I think I'm going to have to disagree. This appears not to be a mere misspelling.
Maybe talking about the area between two digital mediums? Either way, love that these clips get posted here for easy access!
Based on those two clips it looks like this might be a coach's show that's actually worth watching (or listening to).
I happened to listen to his program last nite.
Started with a nice interview with Tavion Banks.
When asked by Bobby about his great streak (22 straight) free throw shooting and his overall shooting improvement he indicated he recently got contacts" it helps when you can see the rim"
was his reply....hmmm..maybe he will now be the shooter he has been the last few weeks? Awesome.
Ben said that his ideal lineup will have 5 guys who can shoot the 3, allowing more pick and pop action...and guards who can slash and kick.
That's his best teams.
I do think both Trey Thompson and Ethan harris are good shooters.
Said they expected sage Tate to develop slower and to be a 3/4 but now see him as a 2/3 who has surprised them.
Not a bad show if only Dolph would tone down his tangents about good ole days and let Ben cook more. Ben did speak of briefly playing for Bobby's old teammate,Steve krafsicin at niacc.
Said he was probably better suited for coaching the girls..which he ended up doing.

Take that Painter, McCollum calling out your switching D!
Gary should have retired years ago, get someone like Adam Haluska or a Rob Brooks type in the booth instead.
Found it interesting while watching last night. Coach was talking about PS and the success he's having at Nebby and then talking about "Former coaches", and suddenly cuts off to commercial. The video is set to where BMc is discussing these points.
Illinois Twitter was trashing on McCollom saying he lied about the Drake offer.. apparently Wagler never posted about the offer, his only offer he never posted..
Then Wagler’s HS coach had to come in and say McCollom wasn’t lying.
He never posted the offer because McCollum had a policy at that level, if you make it public, the offer is gone because he didn’t want other teams just throwing offers out because he did. He also acknowledged that won’t work at this level, Big Ten prospects are gonna post offers, but at the lower levels that was McCollum’s policy.
And if you use common sense....why would McCollum lie about something so easily provable? Their fans rival Nebraska Football as biggest dipsh!ts.
I'm watching the show now. Hope it's a goody.and according to Dolph there's 20 teams in the BigTen
No doubt recruiting is tougher because the top schools, with deep pockets, flex their NIL muscle. Also, BMcC will have to prove Iowa is a consistent winner.
Michigan's coach May, who is a good coach, also has brought in excellent talent which turned a bad team to a contender over night.
That Michigan Frontline helps may:
Mara( UCLA)
Lendeborg ( flo.int?)
Johnson( Illinois)
All out of our price range.
Cadeau and the OSU transfer help out also.
May can just go out with Larry Ellison cash and buy a new lineup every season...this blows.
Watching KU s Tre white..he has played at USC,Florida,Illinois and now Kansas...4 schools in 4 years. Wonder what his major is in? Travel management?
Just an old man shouting at clouds ..

Not really much different than the way it was before NIL.
The schools with a lot of money can’t buy all the players. There are only so many roster spots. Plenty of good players out there.
Yes, having studs on the team makes a difference. But…coaching and kids playing together as a TEAM can negate some of that. Look what Ben is doing with a bunch of mid-major players!
It’s a great listen. I still have to pinch myself we have McCollum. The way he interacts with fans, the media, etc….is second to none. We already knew the dude is a killer between the lines on the floor. I have no doubts he’s building a monster here.
I listen weekly (Not weakly
) as well. My favorite part is where Ben asks Dolph if he'd like to break down a play or set, based on a viewer's question lol. Dolph immediately defers.What's it going to take for him to be replaced? I'd actually listen to the show if someone like Cory Brada hosted it.and according to Dolph there's 20 teams in the BigTen
"I can answer any question coach, it just might be wrong" was an all timer a couple weeks ago LMAO!I listen weekly (Not weakly
Is it really? The same teams seem to still be getting the best players.
