Jordan Murphy and Amir Coffey earned All-Big Ten honors yesterday. Well deserved awards for two of the best players to play for Richard Pitino over his 6-year tenure as Minnesota’s head coach.
Which got me wondering what would it look like to compile an “all coach team” for each of the last three Gopher coaches. Dan Monson, Tubby Smith and Richard Pitino have combined for 20 seasons of Gopher basketball. We obviously love to celebrate when we have multiples of 5 and I think we can throw out the Clem Haskins years for a couple of reasons.
