Sam Vecenie goes to bat for Juwan Howard
I don’t really love that folks have just kinda thrown out there that they think Juwan Howard wouldn’t be a good coach at Michigan. I kinda think very few people in the college basketball media world have the ability to make that determination at this stage.

Folks in the NBA speak highly on Howard as a basketball mind. He interviewed for 3 NBA head jobs this year (CLE, LAL, and MIN). He’s been a key defensive coach for a team that been, at least, top-9 in DEF RTG every year since 2015. He commands respect from elite players.

Sure, college basketball is a different game. Maybe that adjustment to recruiting and all the other university stuff would make him fail. But this isn’t Chris Mullin who hadn’t coached before. Howard has legit basketball coaching chops. Would like to see him spoken about that way

Who hacked your account?
This obviously is 12O1, not 1201.
He needs to throw in a couple positive/insightful posts to avoid Bolivia.
I negged him anyways
He's throwing in some positive threads/comments to keep his point total up. Don't let it fool you, he still deserves the negs.
Who?
Who=HOF Rock Group
WTF? (this )
I'm confident in Howard's ability to coach a defense with or without Yak given that's what he did well in the NBA. The offensive changes will be intriguing.
I am impressed. I was just trashing 1201 in another thread saying he never brings up something positive. I eat my words.
End of the day Maizen still wants to see Michigan succeed.
yeah it's just what happens up until the end of the day that bothers us all
Say what you will about 1201/Maizen - without him we're discussing gravy, which car you most hated as a teenager and counter tops.
You guys may hate him but he's doing more to keep this place interesting than anybody in MgoManagement is right now IMO.
I agree, but it's mostly because our moms won't let us live in the basement and be on Twitter all day.
Cuz momma gotta make some money....
I make more money than you do, have more flexible hours, and don't have to live in fucking Ohio. Yeah I would be mad at me if I were you too.
And just like that... keeping it interesting.
down over 200 points in a day and a half .... keep it up champ ... on to your next account
I'd find it very interesting to do a "what do you do and how much money do you make" thread, but for some reason Americans find talking about money to be distasteful.
I think somebody tried that once. The problem is the people who were doing very well basically got called out accused of either humble-bragging or lying.
I really dont think people want to hear about how others are faring financially if it's way better than they are doing.
Maybe we could just stop at "what do you do for a living"? No one could be offended about that (could they???)
And there are undoubtedly folks on this board who make way more than you, have way more flexible hours, and live in a paradise. So what's your point?
I'll give you the Ohio thing, but I'm not sure how you know you make more money than me. Plus I actually have bills...my mommy won't pay mine for me.
BTW, I own a business so I can work whenever I feel like it.
No, please keep digging. Next tell him your hot girlfriend in Canada is going to come and make babies with you.
I was going to start giving you the benefit of the doubt but after this comment, nope.
I’m sorry, but how in the world do you KNOW you make more money than BlueInOH?
That “internet tough guy” talk is part of why you take a beating.
BTW - you do NOT make more money than me!
This is a blatant lie
agreed - if the management would give me access to points then it could be ME making a new thread about various people's twitter takes. DAMN YOU MANAGEMENT.
How he got those points with a new account is a mystery.
I've wondered that myself.
What you want to do is take tweets from, at best, c-level basket ball celebs, post them on MGBLOG and watch the points roll in! Then, there is the headline of a news article with not link, followed by two more posts with the link, then link with commentary. Those are always nice.
But, in all seriousness, what does Michael Jordan think of Howard?
Or posts from actual people in the know and not a ton of posts that get bombed into oblivion because they are factually incorrect and usually devolve into him getting into fights with people.
I get that it's fun to see the hornet's nest kicked every once and a while, but I'd rather the board be a bit quieter and have actual content in it and not just a ton of tweets copied over to fit a narrative that Warde Manuel is a terrible AD who should be fired into the sun.
That, and outside of the pool of actual respected sources on various topics, using Twitter to bolster an argument is kind of like using Elmer's glue to grout ceramic tile - sure, it might hold so long as you don't test it, but the moment you test it...it's over.
Oh look, someone realized he was getting close to not being able to post more shit threads so he copy-pasted some positive notes.
Yes, it's almost like people who know basketball think Howard is a bit of a wildcard but certainly worth the effort and has the potential to be great. Shocking, I know.
Who?
