It’s been a nasty week for Doug Gottlieb.
After getting right into a social media spat with ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Gottlieb then led UW-Green Bay to a 72-70 loss to Michigan Tech, a Division-II college, on Wednesday afternoon.
While one loss throughout a school basketball season isn’t the tip of the world, it’s what Gottlieb stated earlier than the sport that makes the defeat a lot worse.
Gottlieb, the previous media analyst who’s in his first season main the Phoenix, ripped Michigan Tech and known as it “Nobody U” whereas complaining about its schedule.
“Part of the rationale I wish to play higher groups is, it’s 2 levels outdoors and snowing. I don’t actually like the thought of ‘Nobody U’ coming in right here. I all the time say like, what can we study from a sport the place we win by 20 [points]?”
Doug Gottlieb has no concept what he’s speaking about. He refers to D2 Michigan Tech as “Nonody U” and implies they’ll win by 20. His shitty 2-10 UWGB crew is perhaps in for a impolite awakening right this moment at 11 AM after they see the best way Tech performs ball the proper method. pic.twitter.com/nzrgKdxxEL

Publicly calling a crew “Nobody U” is actually one factor. Not backing it up and dropping to the crew you clearly ignored takes it to a totally totally different stage.
Gottlieb tried to play it off after the loss and did not apologize.
Done with this crap. We scheduled up. Including Michigan Tech. No the place ever, have I been crucial of anybody on our schedule. Now, again to work. https://t.co/zfJcA8TlaO

Wednesday’s loss got here simply days after Gottlieb’s back-and-forth with Schefter on social media. Gottlieb known as out a Schefter report about Michael Vick being in discussions with Sacramento State for its subsequent head teaching job. Though Gottlieb wasn’t completely improper in his first level — Schefter at greatest misinterpreted the quantity of NIL cash that Sacramento State has accessible to it — it was Schefter’s unimaginable response that crushed him.
Wednesday’s loss dropped the Phoenix to 2-11, and prolonged their dropping streak to eight video games.
Between his “Nobody U” feedback, his feud with one of many greatest names at ESPN and his dropping skid, Gottlieb’s head teaching debut isn’t off to the most effective begin.
