Ridiculously tone-deaf AD did that.

I like what the new AD is doing so far.

adidas sucks. Cheap alternative to Nike or even UnderArmour.

Dear MajorHoople,
What you say may be true, but only recently has Nike opened some facilities in the United States, and their labor practices in Asian countries are terrible. When it comes to athletic wear, I never purchase Nike.

I see TK in the pic…I suspect Stephens would love to retain him. Lots of recognizable faces. Great showing for Coach…very nice gesture and show of support!

Per Tony Paul, Thomas Kelley is being retained.

Maybe we'll become the MSU JV team where we develop under the radar players to have them transfer to the MSU FAMILY when they become stars.

TK stays at WMU.

Here is Western Michigan basketball coach Dwayne Stephens' contract

Surprised those bonuses aren't higher. 10k for an at large bid for the tournament? Should be at least 100k seeing as how we haven't had a Mac at large bid since 1998.

To get an “At Large Bid” Broncos will need to get road wins over couple P5 teams.

...and win regular season championship and get to tournament championship game.

Next assistant must be an offensive savant who can rise the game of those playing and be able to make necessary adjustments both at half but in game.

I wasn't a fan of MSU's offense. Go back to their loss to Duke in the tournament. Down 2-3 scores with over a minute and they run a double high post entry and attempt to rub PG, down screen for wing coming up at the 3 pt line or if over played cuts back door for lay up attempt.

Duke doesnt allow for the entry pass. The MSU PG kills his dribble. The MSU big stretches outside arm/hand to offer a target but like he's stretching for a throw to first base. Seconds go by.

Other big "pops out" to relieve stuck PG, then gives it right back to try again. No movement. No spacing. No different. It fails again. Now under a minute and possessions waning.

I was dumbstruck.

You know Duke wasnt just going to turn it over IF MSU scored. So they'd have to be fouled, likely make at least 1 tacking on to a lead with more time off clock and needing to go another 90' to try and score.

MSU dissolved on national TV before our eyes. I didnt see much prior to that so I dont know how MSU even got on the board but the last minute was a clinic on what not to do.

Welcome back GBL.

Jeff Rutter from Miami (OH) is supposed to be the new offensive coordinator

I had heard Izzo needed younger assistants for recruiting.
This hire would not fill that need.

He means Jeff Rutter will be WMU's new assistant lmao.

Who gives a crap about who Izzo hires. This certainly isn't a MooSU blog.

Has anyone heard anything about our two prized '21-'22 recruits?

TK is staying as a Bronco Basketball assistant & both of the signed players were primarily recruited by him. All looks good
