With an undergraduate enrollment of nearly 50,000, one would think that THE Ohio State University could find 10 good ballplayers. ;)


Certainly the school can recruit quality players, but it also loses players to Big Ten rivals (Trey Burke @ Michigan and Adrian Payne @ Michigan St are both from Ohio). This year’s team is less talented offensively than last year’s squad, which reflects well on the job that Coach Thad Motta has done navigating this season.

If you take his success at OSU together what he accomplished at Butler and Xavier, plus the assistant coaches who have worked under him who have since moved on to become head coaches, he has acquitted himself very well among his peers.

Thad Motta's a good coach.

I can't see Mark Few leaving Gonzaga. He saw the wringer Dan Monson went through when he left GU for Minnesota.
