RCMB MBB Theories
1. Phil Martelli does all the x and o. He's basically the coach
2. Michigan's top two recruits aren't coming.. Even though they have signed.
3. No way Michigan didn't practice all three weeks.
4. Howard is going to the NBA soon(even though he doesn't coach)

All good entertainment imo.

Rationalizing Michigan’s success is a way of life, of survival, for msu fans. It’s Great to be a Michigan Wolverine!

I have to imagine there is a lot of downtime between pizza deliveries, on a Sunday, in small-town Michigan. It's this or Candy Crush Saga, I guess.
February 14th, 2021 at 5:41 PM ^
Either way Sparty sucks hairy ass. Deal with it
February 14th, 2021 at 6:23 PM ^
"uber driver debbie" seems perplexed that UM was only discombobulated for 1/2 of a game after a 3 week lay-off. Her post is a fun but short read. I think I will read it again.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:29 PM ^
When I read her post, I read this:
Michigan performed miraculously because Phil Martelli works miracles.
I enjoyed it quite a bit, too! Pretty insightful by driving Deb
February 14th, 2021 at 6:33 PM ^
Is Uber driving a grad degree at MSU? Seems a bit more advanced than pizza delivery to me.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:44 PM ^
Doctoral program, dual degree with pizza delivery dispatcher credential.
February 14th, 2021 at 8:44 PM ^
Was Debbie LJ Scott's driving instructor???
February 14th, 2021 at 8:59 PM ^
Apparently not, if so she should be fired???
FYS FYS ???
February 15th, 2021 at 9:06 AM ^
She was the supervisor - people always wanted to speak with her.
February 15th, 2021 at 10:23 AM ^
Malik McDowell's police supervisor.
February 14th, 2021 at 5:41 PM ^
A tough week for Tom
February 14th, 2021 at 6:15 PM ^
A tough SEASON for tiny tom! FIFY.
February 14th, 2021 at 5:42 PM ^
Thanks for posting those RCMB lowlights.
I simply don't want to go to that toxic website 2 straight days, so thanks for your bravery, OP.
Make sure you all disinfect and sanitize, those who dare descend into that lair of the unwashed!
February 14th, 2021 at 5:42 PM ^
Her username checks out
February 14th, 2021 at 5:45 PM ^
Debbie does driving ?
February 14th, 2021 at 6:35 PM ^
She specializes in Honking the Horn.
February 14th, 2021 at 8:26 PM ^
Spartans will.
February 14th, 2021 at 5:43 PM ^
It is my thought that the RCMB has more current concern in East Lansing than what is happening 65 miles to the southeast.
February 14th, 2021 at 5:45 PM ^
Some people won't like this at all, but IDGAF
It's rascist AF that people think Martelli is somehow the brains behind everything. JH was a 3 year D1 player, a 20 year NBA player, groomed to be a coach his last 5-10 years prior to coming to Michigan.
No one would ever say this about a white coach with thin-ass resume that these guys sometimes have when they get their 1st job (*glances toward East Lansing*) Let alone a 25 year career in the league.
February 14th, 2021 at 5:48 PM ^
I don’t necessarily agree at all. Not every slight against a successful person in the minority is driven by racism. They are jealous of his success. Ad hominem attacks are par for the course when you cannot find an argument with any merit.
But, let me make it clear, I think Juwan Howard is a brilliant human-being and coach. And Martelli is both of those things as well. We are so fortunate to have both. Hiring Martelli is just another evidence of Juwan’s genius. When Martelli moves on or retires, Juwan will continue to excel, because he is an excellent coach.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:06 PM ^
Yeah, but this guy on RCMB says Juwan is a cuck.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:12 PM ^
Can someone please explain what a cuck is?
February 14th, 2021 at 6:17 PM ^
If you have to ask....never mind. BTW, in case you are serious, add "old" to the word and go to Google or pornhub.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:36 PM ^
It refers to men who are so unmanly that they did not vote for the manlier presidential candidate in 2016 or 2020, so as a result their wives left them for manlier men.
February 14th, 2021 at 9:24 PM ^
Can someone please explain what a cuck is?
Cuckold, which is an insult commonly found in English Renaissance plays such as the works of Shakespeare and Ben Johnson. Apparently it's making a comeback. You can look it up from there.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:40 PM ^
It's racist. The theory that the black head coach is just a figurehead and the white assistant is really the one coaching and doing the Xs and Os has roots in the white supremacist "white people are smarter" ideas that have existed for centuries. Thinking otherwise is just being purposely obtuse
February 14th, 2021 at 6:50 PM ^
Oh it gets better
February 14th, 2021 at 7:22 PM ^
It's always weird when opposing fans know some pieces of information (which aren't all correct, but whatever) about an opposing player or coach more than most fans of the team do.
February 14th, 2021 at 8:21 PM ^
What I find most curious is how in depth this person seems to know about Howard's past and yet still does not seem to have a solid grasp of what actually happened with the Fab 5 scandal.
February 14th, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
And like, if your point is that Howard's personal morality is low because he had multiple children out of wedlock with multiple women, 6 and 4 (the actual number of children and women) seems just as strong as the made-up ones here (7 and 5).
February 14th, 2021 at 8:16 PM ^
He has 6 kids with 4 different women, two of which with his current wife, Juwan Jr he had when he was still at Michigan (or maybe a rookie in the NBA?), and I've never heard about any of that other stuff.
Funny a Sparty fan trying to call someone out on rape allegations though. Glass houses and what not.
February 14th, 2021 at 9:48 PM ^
I have 3 kids by 29 women, 3 of which are with my current wife.
February 14th, 2021 at 9:52 PM ^
I looked up a couple of the other claims and they mostly stemmed from a series of lawsuits filed in the late 90s against him, all of which were (seemingly) either dismissed or found for Howard. Again, I don't like digging too deeply into the merits of sexual assault lawsuit handling in the late 90s because society is terrible at it properly handling them now and the 90s were even worse, but it's crazy to me that these people have intimate knowledge of these lawsuits and yet, like, think Howard was the main villain of the Fab 5 situation.
February 14th, 2021 at 10:40 PM ^
"7 kids with 5 different women"
That would be Magic Johnson. Literally.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:53 PM ^
I agree, and to add on, it's not necessary to know the intent to know whether something is racist. The impact of the comment is harmful towards Black people because it pushes a stereotypical assumption. That doesn't mean the comment was bigoted, but it was racist. You can be a nice person who does racist things sometimes.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:57 PM ^
Howard had a reputation in the NBA for being a "future head coach" and an incredibly intelligent person, so there is literally no basis for suggesting he doesn't know Xs and Os beyond the fact that he is black.
After his introductory press conference I saw dozens of tweets from MSU fans mocking the way he talks. It's becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss their fan behavior as simple rival trash talking.
February 14th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
I completely agree. I'd add that I've heard similar comments from fans outside of the BIG and I apologize if it makes it seem as though I'm ignoring the possibility of negative intent.
February 15th, 2021 at 10:17 AM ^
Bingo! Well said. Totally agree. Thank you
February 14th, 2021 at 5:57 PM ^
Absolutely. Six year assistant at one of the top franchises in the league, who was also pretty much an assistant the last couple years as a player.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:02 PM ^
They're all on the Valenti brain drain that thinks Juwan didn't learn, or do, anything while on the Heat coaching staff. 'Becasue he wasn't the second in command there".
Juwan was getting ample NBA head coach interest before he went to Michigan IIRC. Think the GMs know more than Valenti.
February 14th, 2021 at 6:20 PM ^
Yeah it’s funny Michigan runs a lot of what that Heat run. Howard is in full control and he has hired a fantastic staff. I love his golly gee in interviews because in game Howard is a a fierce competitor
February 14th, 2021 at 6:22 PM ^
Valenti? Does anybody listen to that station anymore ?
February 14th, 2021 at 6:45 PM ^
Valenti said a few weeks ago that U-M couldn't win away from Chrysler. Not a very bright man...
February 14th, 2021 at 7:15 PM ^
Crisler...
February 15th, 2021 at 10:42 AM ^
You are ostensibly a Michigan fan, you should know how to spell Crisler Arena.
February 14th, 2021 at 10:45 PM ^
I'll say it. JH will go down as our greatest hoops coach in history.
February 14th, 2021 at 11:08 PM ^
What about as a football coach???
