Gopher student section very audible "F*ck Bo Ryan" chant, most despised?

I was watching Wisc gag away their game last night wondering how in the hell this same team shot so well against us while going something like 11 minutes without a FG in the second half when I heard a very audible "F*ck Bo Ryan" chant coming from the what I assume was the student section in The Barn. Admittedly, it is kind of catchy, easy to dance to and was pretty clearly heard so I assume there were many, many people participating. 

This got me to thinking. It takes a special kind of coach to get the opposing fans worked up enough for a large scale eff-you chant. I can't imagine Beilein getting the same treatment or Matta or basically the rest of the B1G coaches (maybe Izzo, not sure), but Ryan obviously got the Gopher fans going, is not popular on this board and was ranked most hated bball coach in an informal poll of some fans for other B1G teams.

Would you put Ryan as most hated bball coach? Who ranks right behind him?

Bobby Knight is a bitter old man and a hypocrite of the highest order. It's fine to humiliate your players while you're supposedly trying to instill integrity and leadership in them if you practice what you preach. But interviewing for a job that isn't vacant, suing your former employer for "emotional distress" after they fired you for your millionth angry outburst, physically assaulting your players, quitting in the middle of a season, and throwing a temper tantrum in response to the smallest perceived slight hardly smacks of integrity or leadership. The B1G and college basketball are better off without him.

But you can't automatically assume that just because a guy is local that everything is on the up-and-up, either.  Three of the four guys that were found guilty of taking money from Ed Martin (Chris Webber, Robert Traylor and Maurice Taylor) were from Detroit, which has sent us athletes forever.

The main thing about Matta that has to raise eyebrows IMO is that he was able to come in and quickly recruit at a higher level than Jim O'Brien had.  In this sport, with the AAU meat market and such, to be known as an ace recruiter is to invite suspicion.

I don't really understand your argument.  If you're a good recruiter, you cheat.  If you're a bad recruiter, you suck?  

Matta has gotten some, but certainly not all, of the good talent in Ohio.  He has also gotten some of the talent in Indiana while Indiana basketball was a mess.

Are you suspicious of Hoke because he quickly came in and recruited at a higher level than RichRod?

I think the argument is that the basketball recruiting scene has become a corrupt cesspool (to a greater degree than football), with sleazy AAU coaches, street agents and whatnot, that if you're reeling in tons of stars, you must be willing to bend/break the rules.  Would anyone be shocked if Calipari's program got nailed?

BTW, how do you know that O'Brien was a "lazy" recruiter?  He actually paid a recruit out of his own pocket . . . that sounds like pretty proactive behavior on his part.

Saying he paid a recruit is unfair.  He lent Alex Radejovic's family money to pay for funeral expenses for the father who died in war torn Yugoslavia.  This was after he was ruled inelgible to play in college.

From wikipedia:

 

O'Brien claimed Ohio State improperly fired him and sued the university for $3.5 million in lost wages and benefits. O'Brien argued his loan did not violate NCAA bylaws because he knew Radojevic already had lost his amateur status by playing for money overseas. At trial, Geiger, NCAA lead investigator Steve Duffin both testified that O'Brien made the loan for humanitarian reasons, not as an inducement to get Radojevic to sign with Ohio State. NCAA infractions committee chairman David Swank testified that O'Brien's actions did not violate NCAA rules. A judge found Ohio State had breached the contract and awarded O'Brien $2.4 million. The award was upheld on appeal to the Ohio Court of Appeals and Ohio Supreme Court.[4]
