So you criticize people who run down other cities, and in the same post take a dig at Milwaukee?

No. Simply being realistic. Which is something Wisconsinites should try.

It's all in the benchmarking.....if you were told you would be transferred in your job to Memphis, Milwaukee, or Detroit...what would you take?

Milwaukee and it's not close imho

Being realistic about what? Most Wisconsinites know Milwaukee isn't a world class city. It has its share of problems (crime, weather, hampered economic growth) But it most definitely is a nice city with many positive attributes. (lakefront, revitilizing areas, professional sports)

And nicer than either Detroit or Memphis.

Sure. First, if you want to hang out with him, attend an EYBL session this spring/summer. He has coached Team Penny for several years. Very nice man.

Second, he now coaches high school basketball. His team - Memphis East - won state last month. Much of the team are the kids he did coach in middle school.

Cool, knew about his AAU team, didn't know he coached them. Also, I thought he was just an assistant at East.

Of those three, yes...Milwaukee wins.

And UWM keeps UWM-ing things.

http://www.wtmj.com/sports/college/exclusive-uwm-had-milwaukee-native-tj-otzelberger-tabbed-but-hired-lavall-jackson

"The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee hired a new head basketball coach Thursday, April 7th. LaVall Jordan comes to Milwaukee from Michigan where he served as an assistant under Head Coach John Beilein for six seasons.

Many consider Jordan to be a rising star in the coaching industry, and it was only a matter of time before he landed a head coaching gig.

But questions surrounding the interview process remain.

1. After the interview process, was Jordan the first choice of Athletic Director Amanda Braun and the university-hired search committee?

2. If so, who over-ruled the decision?

Speaking with people close to the process over the past few days, the answer to question number 1 is "no," and the answer to question number 2 is "Chancellor Mark Mone."

Wow. I don't know much about Jordan but I think TJ would have been a home-run hire for them.

Apparently TJO has wanted that job for awhile.

Interesting discussion about the virtues/vices of Milwaukee. I've traveled pretty extensively domestically. While MKE still has many problems mostly associated with the underclass, it has made a remarkable comeback in the last 15 years. Weather will never be fixable but other than that I actually find it more attractive than many other cities. Anyway, sorry about the hijack.

TJO needs a better tanning bed.

Buzz to Texas Tech

VegasWarrior77 · « **Reply #344 on:** April 14, 2016, 10:14:50 AM »

The rumor here in LV is that new UNLV coach Chris Beard might bolt and go to Texas Tech. He was an assistant coach there for ten years and his three daughters live in Texas. UNLV hoops is a dumpster fire right now!

Jason King ✔ ‎@JasonKingBR
Chris Beard is the leading candidate to replace Tubby Smith at Texas Tech, source told BR. Beard has $1 million buyout in his UNLV contract.

Wonder if Bo Ryan's name would surface at UNLV. He has a home there...

brewcity77 · « **Reply #346 on:** April 14, 2016, 10:48:01 AM »

Could this offseason have gone any better for Memphis? They get rid of the trainwreck that has been Pastner and add a legit, proven coach that already knows the area. In that league, I could see Tubby building them back into a national power.

Not true, several coal and oil companies are working hard to fix that problem, right now.
