Frank Martin fired today by South Carolina after 10 seasons. Hope never to see his name mentioned with any vacancy we may ever have. GW fired their basketball HC and staff today. Wonder if Caputo's name will come up due to his DC connections.

Based on how long Brownell has been at Dan's last stop, Clemson, I wouldn't expect our new AD to be looking to take on a lot of change in hoops or baseball. In L's case, this season and a good recruiting class have earned him this extension. I expect him to use the Portal a lot to make up for...

I agree. Be interesting to see if Maryland does in fact offer him (as reported they are considering doing). They have the vacancy, we don't. Who'd you rather have if you were the Maryland AD, Pitino or Ed Cooley? One is 69, the other is 52.

Pitino lives on a golf course in Westchester County, just a short commute to Iona, and is really enjoying his life now (at age 69). Only real negatives at Iona are (1) won't be able to compete for a NC, and (2) in a "one-bid" league so gotta win the league Tourney every year. Don't think he...

As "Coach-in-Waiting"?

Trend now is to hire coaches with no college head coaching experience whatsoever, e.g., Scheyer, Hubert Davis, Juwan Howard, Mike Woodson, the Gonzaga asst at Arizona, etc.

Maybe Jay will hire his Dad as his prime bench coach.

Surprised Manning took an Assistant's job. Pretty humiliating for a relatively young former HC.

I looked and could not find what I think I once read. So, I'm probably way off base. It's hard to tell coach's salaries anywhere, what with "guaranteed" money + incentives + bonuses., etc. Even harder at private schools. I'm continuing to look for what I think I read, and will provide it if I...

That surprises me if I'm correct in recalling Haith made $3M at one point here at UM.

U of A looking with the Wildcat family at Miles Simon, Damon Stoudamire, Luke Walton and Josh Pastner. Tommy Lloyd, Mark Few's loyal assistant at Gonzaga, also being considered and, reportedly they'll check in with Scott Drew and Eric Musselman. Wouldn't that be interesting for Lykes if Muss...

Heard Seth Greenberg on the radio talking about Texas. Sounds like they have the same support apathy with basketball that all football schools seem to suffer from. With what they'd have to pay Pearl or Musselman, I guess they still have enough $$ resources to go after the top tier of coaches...

Texas boosters want Pearl or Musselman and have the checkbook to attract them. Whether either of them would be interested is another matter.

Juwan is the rarity. And, as you say, has great asstants, Martelli especially. We'll revisit in a few years but if I were an IU fan, I'd be very underwhelmed.

Mike Woodson to IU? IMO, that's a worse hire than Archie Miller was at the time.

According to everything I read, if he hadn't left, he would have been fired.

Well, if Blake J were to make a change, he better do it quick as jobs will be getting filled every day.

What's worse for HS recruiting? To have actual head coaching change, or to be hobbled by a lame duck coach who is unlikely to be around for the next few years?

I would. Their prospects for the foreseeable future are worse than ours. Plus, I would expect Earl to seek a more urban environment. State College is literally in the middle of nowhere and while it might be a good place to advance a football career ... he can do much better in terms of...

I haven't been keeping count but an alarming number of returning PSU players have hit the portal.
