All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

[mplarson7]

ACC sucking up all the young talent!

To be fair, they had all of the ancient talent that has all retired now in the last few years.

There's a certain percentage of IU fans who would hate this. It's the same group that would hate anything short of Chris Beard or a reincarnated John Wooden.

Go Gophers!!

Brother of former NBA player Mike Miller from Mitchell, SD. Mike’s son also plays for Creighton.

Very happy to see Ryan get a shot at a head coaching job.

Mike's other son is a freshman on High Point, likely thanks to the Huss/Creighton connection.

Those are both insanely weak T's.

I've seen Danny Hurley do worse during pregame warmups.....SMH

Izzo gives the officials more crap than that every game but for some reason he is untouchable

Poor Fran!

 

[Bad Gopher]

I've always thought very highly of Fran. His teams run GREAT offense and are enjoyable to watch. Even though he's a hothead on the court, the off-the-court things I've seen about him are endearing. I think he's a good dude.

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Interesting, sure seems like they made it more than 7 times out of 15.

Well, his defenses were inexcusably horrible. Usually last in the conference every year. That’s what I’ll miss….

That record is near-elite, just not elite enough.

Some real quality jobs out there right now. Will be interesting to see if coaches/schools keep things quiet if season is still going.

UNLV fires Kevin Kruger.

Clearly Villanova doesn't have the resources to compete

From my "source":

My friend said DD to Iowa today, McCullom to IU and Freeman to Arkansas for 1 million

I saw one IU poster on Twitter say that, if Indiana gets anything less than Stevens or Beard, and Minnesota gets Medved, the Gophers will have out-performed the Hoosiers in coach hunting. Time will tell about that in the long run, but the bigger takeway is how unrealistic IU fans are.

Heaven knows what's really going on.

My "source" (a friend of mine that's friends with some ex-Hawkeyes) indicates this is just a smoke screen so DeVries can get more $ from Iowa ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Would not doubt that at all. There was a report that DeVries was meeting with WVU brass.

Ah the elusive "mystery candidate" , maybe it's Ben and we won't have to pay the buyout.

How are these coaches not already hired? I thought Coyle was the only crappy AD who didn't have his coach locked up weeks ago?

Coyle is a crappy AD, that much you have correct.
