    John, love your show. I love everything about you and your commitment to college basketball.

    However, we have to correct some of your grammar you have a bad habit of saying as went or had went instead of has gone

    The correct phrase is has gone. "Gone" is the past participle of the verb "to go" and is used with auxiliary verbs like "has," "have," or "had" to form the present perfect tense, whereas "went" is the simple past tense and is used on its own, not with "has".

    You shill for the mountain west. You have a contract with the network that has a deal with that conference. Admit this or stop pretending to be a journalist.
