Always seemed like things were headed this direction

Looks like Conroy didn’t get the Utah St job

Nothing close to a death penalty. Was thinking more like a 1-2 year postseason ban as well as some sort of suspension for Self. The contract almost reads like they expect him to be suspended. Eh, I don’t think Kansas could pull that off. They’re just Kansas. Really not a big fish. If...

We’ll see. This one feels a little different to me. UNC basically found a loophole, and while I don’t agree at all with what they were doing I can see why their defense worked. I think KU is going to get hit hard.

My guess is Maryland took a look around and realized they probably weren’t going to do any better.

What’s amazing (and stupid) is that it is in the contract that no matter what the outcome of the current NCAA investigation they cannot use that to fire him for cause.

Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina. there’s certainly a second tier that stand above everyone else as well, but if we’re talking true blue bloods it’s those 4 only. There isn’t really one objective measure, but the best way I’d put it is “programs where a 12 year old could take over and...

Wow

Doubt he’s going to be on our radar and probably wouldn’t even consider us, but Jordan Goldwire (Duke) is in the transfer portal as a grad transfer. Love how he plays. Old school PG who plays great defense.

You think he’s walking away from $3.5M per year and a $7M buyout for $2M per year? Unless Texas is still agreeing to pay part of it I don’t see how that happens

I bet it’s in that neighborhood. With Wojo they were paying for someone with no HC experience. Gotta be $2.5M minimum

To an extent I get what he’s saying, but it’s not all that important for the HC to be young if you look at the the recruiting rankings. According to 247 team recruiting rankings for the class of 2020: 1. Kentucky (Calipari - 62 years old) 2. North Carolina (Williams - 70) 3. Duke (Krzyzewski -...

I think he’ll do very well at Marquette. Shaka and Texas always seemed like an awkward fit to me. Moving to an easier conference right near home is a good career choice for him.

Don’t know exactly when, but he has to get Holloman. Pair him with King and then we are rolling.

Oh there’s definitely no guaranteed success no matter who any school hires. I thought Archie would have Indiana rolling by now, and would guess most felt the same. Seemed like a no brainer hire at the time. Probably why he was able to get such a huge buyout in his contract. Indiana never dreamed...

Musselman was arguably a hotter coaching prospect just two years ago and he got $2.5M per year to start at Arkansas. That would seem to be a reasonable comparison point in terms of salary. It was well reported by people who would know better than any of us that Smith wanted this job. You don’t...

That was almost ten years ago. The lowest paid coaches in the B1G other than Ben are Juwan Howard ($2.1M per year, but about to get a very sizable raise. He’ll be well north of $3M before the beginning of next season.) and Steve Pikell ($2.5M per year). The optics of paying our new coach nearly...
