In the midst of a perdeker streak of 19 games and possess the worst record in all university basketball, Wisconsin-Green Bay chief coach, Doug Gottlieb, left his team to go to New Orleans to participate in media events of the super media Bowl
Gottlieb, who had previously earned life only as a sports expert and radio presenter, was hired by Green Bay last summer to take care of his basketball program.
In a strange situation, the Athletic director of UWGB, Josh Moon, allowed Gottlieb to maintain his daily radio program/podcast while training, allowing him to have both jobs at the same time.
Under his watch, the Wisconsin -Green Bay Phoenix has won only two games this season and lost 22, including a shameful defeat for a division school II. They still have to win a game in the conference game.
Despite this, as reported by Kyle Malzhan de WfrvGottlieb is in New Orleans on Radio Row and a practice will be lost.

A fan published, “shameful for UWGB”, while another commented: “I wasn't really sure why I wanted to train in all TBH.”

Since then, the team has not won a single game, which includes going 0-13 in the Horizon League game.
In December, Gottlieb mocked after he referred to D -II Michigan Tech like 'Nobody or', just to lose it.
That came immediately after a dispute with Adam Schefter from ESPN, who also made fun of Gottlieb after the coach questioned his reports. Schefter advised Gottlieb to spend: “Less time on social networks and more time in the gym.”
At the University, Gottlieb played basketball at a scholarship at the University of Notre Dame, before he lost the free trip to school After stealing the credit card of a classmate and used it for fraudulent purchases.
