All Things 2025-26 College Basketball Coaches Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

[Ope3]

Hope you’re not doing immaculate grid college basketball coaches edition

Perhaps that is what is taking up my brain's memory space.

Today, Foreign Born Player with a 40 Double season. Tony Olivia. Bang! 1% Rarity.

Oh my. I guess I have not seen many (any?) non-Gonzaga WCC regular season games in the past decade. No Tournament appearances either, so a bit off my radar.

The played the Gophers actually back on 11/28/25 in Palm Springs, but I missed that defeat being at the Bank for the Axe football game.

Gophers also beat them in Vancouver in 2018. Vaguely rings a bell.

Actually correction, the Gopher-Santa Clara game was Black Friday, day before the Axe football game.

I did miss it though. Had it on DVR, saw they lost and never watched it.

Insomnia provides the impetus for seeing 10:30 games between Santa Clara and San Francisco.

I'm predicting Mark Few to UNC.

Not sure he’s that kind of guy but the whole world is being turned upside down.

How about this UNC Alum? A Free Agent who won an NCAA Title as recently as 1988.

He hasn't been. But it's a new world. Even being in the "new Pac 12" it will be hard to ever win a title at Gonzaga now.

I actually think playing in a more competitive conference will edge it towards easier to win an NCAA Title.

Previously after Christmas, they just waltz through their games without being tested.

Presumably, more revenue will help too.

I'm talking the NIL or lack thereof.

Gotcha. I think Gonzaga is holding their own in that aspect, but true that might not be good enough going forward.

Carl Pohlad is a 'Zag alum. Maybe the family throws the Bulldog hoops program a bone.

Been speculation for a couple days

Not likely. I heard the family doesn’t like sports. There is plenty of evidence as well.

And there’s even more evidence it loves money and enjoys hoarding it.

That’s an Air Jordan brand jumpsuit, so he’s ready.

I was told they love baseball and their fans inspire them.....

Ah ha ha ha ha ha

Kansas and UNC open in the same year would be something...

Andrew "McLovin" Perloff somehow found the same bibs & shirt combo and wore it as his Halloween costume once on the Dan Patrick Show.

I thought it was one of the greatest next level sight gags.

Self looks miserable the last few years but I suppose it’s not as fun now that everyone can pay players.

Recovering from heart issues in the midst of a pressure cooker can’t be easy. I be he’s gone.

He loves that 7 figure annual paycheck!

Calling Jackson McAndrew back home, please.

 

[Holy Man]

Calling Jackson McAndrew back home, please.

Not followed him much this year but know he had a lot of pt as a freshman. Has he continued to progress?

He started first 4 games, then had a season ending foot injury.

I would like to start the bandwagon that Kansas should hire Fred Hoiberg.

Go get him.

Not a bad coach in waiting candidate.
