Darnell Harris (remember that name UWW/WIAC fans?) and his Middle Tenn team is giving MSU more than they bargained for today. Looks like he's (finally) a senior. Seems like he's been playing college ball for 6 or 7 years now.

Pat Miller lost a transfer? That never happens.

A few years ago Pat Miller was mentioned in an article as a long shot to be on Barry Alvarez's short list to replace Bo at Wisconsin. Any speculation from the WW posters is Pat Miller on UWM's short list. Given the way Jeter was let go I would not want to work for an AD like Braun.

I don't have a clue whether UW-M is interested or whether Pat is interested but one has to wonder, granted it's D1 and all that, whether it's a desirable situation to move into. Pat Miller certainly has paid his dues, been successful and would be a legitimate candidate IMO. If the two parties are interested in one another I wish him good luck. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

How bad was the situation with Jeter? All I know is they fired him with one year left on his contract. Was there more to it?

My understanding is D-I experience is high on Milwaukee's criteria list. However, if they choose to shift gears on that, Pat certainly would be a great choice for them. Hope he's not interested, but if he is, obviously I wish him all the best.

Evan Flood (@Evan_Flood), who covers the Badgers for 247sports had this to say on the topic a short time ago:

UW-M's prior experience hiring a coach out of the WIAC ranks went pretty well for them. Though I'm not sure if this AD has the same frame of mind.

Did you read the article? If half of it is true it sounds like it was a miserable situation for Jeter.

If anyone can direct me to a link for the box score of the All Star game that was played in Salem on Saturday I would greatly appreciate it. Post it here since I'll be checking back.

Sorry, I thought it was included in the post. I guess it's an article I found independently.

TJ Otzelberger - former UWW player - current Iowa State assistant is extremely high on the list of potential candidates to replace Jeter at UWM.

Not sure I agree ... he was at UWM two years before leaving to go to UW.

He didn't accomplish much at UWM.

Jeter has a 184-170 record over 11 years. 7 years with a winning record and five 20-win seasons. NCAA twice including his first year.

Overall performance has been up and down with 2 losing records in the last four years. Green Bay appears to have upgraded their situation there is nothing to indicate that much is going to change at UWM. UWM should be better than they are ... one of the larger university's in the conference, close to excellent recruiting areas, a large enough arena.

The style of play in the Horizon is going to require someone who can attract extremely athletic guard-oriented talent.

Time for a change.

If you look at it completely from a W/L position I would tend to agree with you. 30-27 isn't exactly the kind of record that gets a coach into the hall of fame. But looking at it from a broader perspective I'd have to disagree. Ryan basically resurrected the UW-M program which had been a dog. He finished with winning records both seasons something that hadn't been accomplished in over a decade. Attendance increased significantly and the program became relevant again. Maybe it didn't show up in wins but hiring Bo Ryan was one of the best things UW-M has done IMO.
