Gone for good or just headed home for a bit?

 
Gone in the fashion of Matt Albritton. Gone, baby, gone. .

Thought so. Thanks.

One bittersweet last look at the number on his back as he heads for the plane. Will bring back memories of so many opponents fleeing by him. 

I’d say Alf Wiedersehen but - candidly - hopefully not. 

If that ‘s the future of German basketball,I feel pretty good.

Brian Dutcher.

He's 64 years old and is coaching in San Diego, CA, perhaps a preferable destination for a 64 year old to be than Ann Arbor, MI.

He must like it because he just signed a five year extension with the Aztecs.  He's under contract through 2027-28. 

Oh, but Michigan can afford it, right Dude?  Dutcher's buyout is $10.788 million which is a hair less than three times the amount of money that Michigan paid Juwan this year.  Or for that matter, it's higher than what any college basketball coach earned this past season.

But we get it.  Ducher to Michigan makes so much sense to you Dude, so keep on saying it.
 

 

💯. Insane.

Am not sure that he's ever going to be able to play the way he wants to unless he lands in a less competitive conference.  And, am not at all convinced that he wants to be a star in the CAA, as an example.  What happens next will be very interesting.  Wishing Max great success with whatever he decides.
 

 
Completely agree with this. Clearly so did CC with his pointed remarks a few weeks ago about Max needing to know what his limitations are and then trying to exceed them (paraphrasing)   I think that he clearly believes in himself, and I hope I’m wrong and he sets out to prove me wrong.  I hope he has good advisors that aren’t yes men. Could he play in the Biig East at a school like DePaul?  Maybe, but it won’t be in a starring role. Reminds me of the line from the War of the Worlds when the Artilleryman tells the main character/narrator that he was well on the way to building an underground community to evade the Martians and it turns out he’d barely scrapped a ten yard tunnel that had taken a week, and the narrator says “I suddenly  realized the gulf between his dreams and his power.”

All of this said, I will miss his energy amd he has every right to chase his own dreams without worrying about the opinion of boors like me. So, I wish him all the best. Go out amd prove me wrong, young man. I’ll be the first to applaud you.

Imagine Max would or should know he would be crazy to leave. This is a great place for him.
K-State didn't work out. GW, combined with his talents, made him Rookie Of The Year,
as Max acknowledges.
      Max is a terrific rebounder and made a lot of key shots recently. Next year, with James gone,
he can come into his own even more. This is the right place for him--and we appreciate all his talent
and scrapping for the ball. In fact, more players need to hit the boards like Max.
      Thank you, Max for all of your efforts in an up and down year. The best is yet to come for you
at GW.
    

 
JF……LOL

Dayton is locked in, haven't seen a single bracket where they are even in the play in games.

What a comeback for Yale to beat Brown, Brown nearly pulled off 2 incredible upsets back to back of teams 100-150 spots ahead of them

JoeBam is worth 2-3 incredible highlights a game, lot of steals too

 

Dude - may want to have a look at arguably the 2nd most popular bracket.. Jerry Palm over at CBS Sports. Take your time, you still have a few hours.

Any of you guys think Dayton could be left out?  I’m beginning to wonder. Their performance down the stretch has give the Committee an excuse. You compare their last five or  six games to St John’s and there’s no question who the better team is right now. I see Jerry Palm has dropped them to the always dicey “Last Four In” status. Losing early in the A-10 Tourney may make them vulnerable.

Why do you guys think JT3 hasn't had a head coaching job since he left Gtown in 2017?

No better interim after a train wreck that our own Mojo. 😂😂

Yep, same here.  Like I said, thought they'd go the Ewing route and wait one year too long. Will be interesting to see who they go after.  Maybe Sean Miller if Dusty May takes Ohio State.

Apparently, the buyout was only $3 million and for a school like Michigan that's sofa money.

 
Better to be lucky than smart.

I think it’s the right call. Why waste a year and be back in the same exact spot next year. And yes, $3mm to MI is nothing.

It’s probably a similar calculation that Georgetown made with Ewing. Hard to fire a legendary player.

I don’t see them firing Howard this year unless there’s a clear replacement in line already. Schertz at Indiana State may be that guy but Ohio State could snag him first since they already have the opening. Now if they continue to bottom out next year then I think they rip the bandaid.

 
Hate it when I’m right. Fired.

Not sure how to post a picture here  - tried copying and paring but it didn’t work. Check out Max’s Instagram. (  @_maxgotgame )  Posted a picture of himself at the free throw line at Barclay’s with the caption “Staying’ real to the vision even if I’m the only one seeing it!!”  Maybe something to read between the lines here?  As in, his vision and CC’s don’t align?  I personally think he’s gone based on his body language amd the veiled comments CC made after the Bonaventure or Duquesne game. I definitely think he’s portaling.

On the other hand, maybe he’s referencing the unique vision he displayed chucking up all those ridiculous ill-advised pull up threes in one on four situations?  Or maybe it’s was the vision of the invisible person he was passing to on many many occasions??

Seems like it was attitude concerns in terms of him refusing to go back into games and disrespecting the coaches. Apparently he'd been suspended twice earlier in the year and it seems like the final straw was his behavior after the game Saturday when he spit on the floor, refused to participate in the handshake line and intentionally bumped into Red Autry as he was leaving the court.

I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole but there are some connections that can be made: Miami offer out of high school, a current GW player's dad is the Syracuse coach (along with a former assistant being on the staff as well), he's from Maryland and attended St. Andrew's Episcopal

 
Agree 💯. Hard pass

CC should get another year, but finishing 1-14 with 3 losses to La Salle is just inexcusable!! We didn't expect GW to win the A10 but they shouldn't have been this bad with Bishop, Max and Buchanan playing on the team

Bishop, Buchanan, Edwards and Hutchinson (were) four of the A-10's best players. How do you lose 12 straight with those guys?

 
It’s called doing the same thing over and over amd expecting a different result despite any evidence that it will work . That’s what is now hung on CC. Let’s see if he comes back next year and allows a team to fling up three after three every game with zero success adjusting. Only chance of winning with this team was for them to basically outperform from the arc. That’s a losing strategy amd it led to the losing season we deserved.

Why would he interact with people who keep attacking him? I thought we were not supposed to spend time on this board attacking posters.

FQ, we're not.  But you know what?  We're also not supposed to serve as the board troll either.  We're not supposed to repeatedly make our points with no other agenda but to annoy.

And this season, I barely responded to him at all.  Because I was told that if I just ignored him, he would go away or stop being such a nuisance.  How'd that work out?

So yes.  After saying the same shit again and again only to be wrong about it, you bet he's going to hear about it.  Not to worry though.  He's probably gone crying to Barry by now and this post will likely be removed before GW tips off today.
 

FQ is the proverbial sound of one hand clapping.

Alum1, he's not, but he is the one to read things on gwsports.com and then post them here (including ridiculous statements like the one you cited).  Because apparently, he's unaware that each and every one of us also has access to gwsports.com.

Anyone actually going?  Doubt it from my end. That’s a lot of coin to travel to NYC for a weekday afternoon one and done, as fun as NYC is.
