List of Coming and Going Coaches

Most Surprising Hire to me ... Chris Holtmann DePaul ... they are at the bottom...Holtmann absolutely doesn't seem like a guy who is going to do a turnaround. Sure, he might get them to the middle of the pack, but I don't see him clawing his way to the top.

When you’re as bad as DePaul you start by getting to the middle of the pack. They have gone the route of historically successful on the back end of a career and an experienced assistant. Holtman is young enough to stick around for a while and has a history of success with under the radar recruits. May not work but an understandable hire by DePaul.

Lanier was out of work for about 11 seconds. SMU to Rice
 



Louisville must be striking out. One of the first to have an opening and still not on the board. Obviously they wanted May, but I figured they would have a back up plan. It doesn’t look like they do or everyone is saying no.

For an opposing player, I liked Cuonzo a lot. At Purdue for four years. Got to "know" him at the Barn, and really improved as a player substantially over his time there. He knew how to have fun with the student section without being a jerk about it like so many are now with their obnoxious gestures.

It seems to me that New Mexico is the right level for Richard. Louisville would not end well for him.

Probably not. But he can dry his tears with $$$. Also, the last few years have probably lowered their expectations a notch or two.
 


He takes the $$, experience and Mashburn to Louisville. Seems like a step up for them considering the last few years.

I hope he gets it.

Andy Enfield might leave USC for SMU. Saw speculation that Eric Musselman could then end up at USC

So we not only miss our chance a 3rd time, he ends up in conference. Great.
 


Okay so he gets the big buck$ at Lousiville for 4 years, then gets fired and coaches at a mid major again for the 3rd time. Not a bad career at all.

Maybe he'll bring Henley, Pohto, Mashburn, and some other New Mexico players with him.

Photo, Mashburn, and NM guys maybe, but I don't see the connection between Pitino and Henley. He committed the year after Pitino left.

I saw him play in high school for the now defunct East St. Louis Lincoln High during a holiday tournament. Laphonso Ellis played there around the same time. They were an Illinois powerhouse then and one of the few good things coming from East St. Louis at the time.

Him and Eric Anderson (RIP) from St Francis de Sales had some great battles in 1988 in Illinois. Anderson 's team went 25-2, both losses to East St Louis Lincoln. Both are/were great guys. Got to know both of them back then.
