Good times.

Bo Ryan went on the radio with ESPN's Mike & Mike this morning, and we'll give him credit for at least trying to present his side of the case by which redshirt freshman Jarrod Uthoff is unable to transfer to a variety of different schools.

But in a sometimes contentious 15-minute interview, Ryan didn't win any points aside from effort. In fact, if the immediate public opinion feedback tool also known as Twitter is to be believed, Ryan buried himself deeper and deeper with nothing but his own shoveling words.

To summarize: Everyone is doing it; his hands are clean because he's just following rules; he's just a simple basketball coach; you never played the game.
