For the record you are comparing Hoiberg to Cignetti.

Hoiberg

Year 1 - 7-25
2 - 7-20
3 - 10-22
4 - 16-16
5 - 23-11
6 - 21-14
7 - 20-0

Cignetti

Year 1 - 11-2
2 - 16-0

You are acting like Hoiberg just started like Cignetti, and that is an irrational comparison. So IMO you are not making any sense. This didn't just come out of nowhere, Hoiberg was known for being a great college coach already at Iowa State as well
this looks like thge record of somone that was given time and had the ability to biuld a program

To be fair. Hoiberg started before transfers could immediately play. He also took over a roster that decimated by Tim and his obvious impending firing. Then he ran smack dab in to COVID recruiting. Cig had almost a full squad of older guys from a ranked successful team who came with regardless of their high school ranking. Fred had nobody to tag along.

That’s not discounting Fred’s early struggles, but BOTH clearly benefited by NIL and immediate eligibility these last few years. BOTH are very good coaches who kids want to play for.

TBH i knew, but it always felt like BB was doom and gloom every season. Given years 1-3 were pretty terrible, it's obvious W-L wise there has been improvement through his tenure. I'm so happy for him, the team, and as a fan.

For the record, I wasn’t comparing anyone. I never said Rhule or Cignetti. You guys started with that. I just complimented Fred and wondered if his success would cause other fans in big 10 to call for their coaches to be fired out of jealousy. This is a basketball thread. If you inferred something about Rhule or Cignetti then that is entirely on you and your thought process. Maybe you noticed some hypocrisy in your process.

If you're going to sanctimoniously wag your finger at the big meanies who think Matt Rhule is underperforming, at least be man enough to own it. Don't shrivel up and pretend like you were actually commenting on basketball in a basketball thread.

i got this feeling that mast had his food purposely poisoned at the restaurant the team ate at in Michigan before the game on Tuesday night
Apparently he had stomach illness on Monday so it wasn’t eating in Ann Arbor before the game.
Guessing he had the flu.
