Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach
-
Yep I would take both.
-
@jayballer67 The buyout information is incorrect. Beard’s buyout is currently $5 million and drops to $4 million on April 1.
Beard’s buyout isn’t going to be the issue for Texas since they didn’t fire Shaka and have to pay a buyout for him, but annual salary might be an issue as Texas would have to pay Beard more money per year than they’re paying Sarkisian.
If Beard ultimately chooses to stay in Lubbock (it is a possibility), other names to look out for are Dana Altman (Oregon), Eric Musselman (Arkansas), John Beilein, and former player and current Brooklyn Nets assistant Royal Ivey.

The only thing with Royal lvey is he doesn’t have college coaching experience

@Texas-Hawk-10 Don’t like Altman. Struck me as a douche in postgame when Oregon beat us a couple years ago. Not sure how I feel about Musselman yet, and i always liked Beilein, back since his stint at WV when they were Big East (even though he beat us at Michigan).

Yeah, probably sour grapes lingering from when he used to regularly get his ass beat by us when he coached at K-State.
-
@approxinfinity Musselmen is a job hopping crook. I actually met him once and he’s a giant self centered dick. I hope Texas is not seriously considering him. I don’t want to see his face on a consistent basis.
-
@rockchalkwyo i kinda assumed that based on sideline demeanor, but hadnt dug much.
-
Indiana may have a coach here shortly Mike woodson A assistant coach from the New York Knicks will be taking the Indiana job likely to be Official. Now it is
-
Royal Ivey interviewed for the Texas job today
-
Surprised Hoiberg isn’t in the conversation. He’s fallen completely off the radar.
-
Mike Boyton got a 7 year extension to stay with the Pokes

Yoooo Bill Self get on the phone with him.
-
When he’s done call Rocket Watts, now in the portal
-
Will really be interesting to see how full on free agency plays out. This seems so crazy on the surface. So many good players on the market that could step in day one and be an impact player.
I kind of like it, but I probably would hate it if I were a coach.
-
Didn’t really know where to put this but anyways - - Should know more on Chris Beard tomorrow , according to Texas Boards - - Beard is meeting with Kirby Holcut today. - - I think he stays at Tech, But Longhorns got some pretty deep pockets

Oklahoma is closing in on hiring loyal Chicago"s coach porter moder as it’s next head basketball coach
-
Really thought Moser could get a better job

OU is a better job than Texas submit post
-
I think OU is a damn good job.
-
Adam Miller surprisingly leaving Illinois. His mom told me he was high on KU before committing to U of I. Maybe he comes west a bit. Don’t have a working relationship with the mom anymore so I can’t recruit on the sly. He’d be a nice get.
-
I saw Porter Moser at a tournament two years ago. I told him I still had some eligibility left if he needed somebody.
-
Send him your flag running video!

UNC hires Hubert Davis as its next basketball coach.
-
Most of the comments I’m reading from UNC fans aren’t too thrilled about it.

I’m with them. This is like hiring Bama’s RB coach to replace Saban and not even calling Dabo. Chris f***** Holtmann interviewed. Didn’t even approach Few. Total clown show.
-
You called it though @FarmerJayhawk
-
@FarmerJayhawk I just read they reached out to Few and Wright. Both turned it down.
-
@Woodrow I knew about Wright. I don’t think Bubba made a serious push for any outside candidate. I bet it was a “hey I have to call so it looks like I tried before I move to real candidates”
-
The way the UNC coaching search played out is historically significant and I don’t know how much that’s being talked about. Even here on these boards, the general consensus was that UNC is the best job in college basketball based on another thread.
UNC basically saying we’re going to hire a black man to succeed Roy Williams without seriously interviewing anyone else is a big damn deal and I don’t think a lot of people realize how big of a deal this is not just at North Carolina, but in college basketball in general to see a black man leading arguably a top 3 job in the nation.

If it works out, would be huge. If Hubert ends up like Doh, WOOOOOOF. UNC may stop hiring black people altogether.

Hubert Davis has a helluva lot better pedigree than Doherty did though with 12 years in the NBA as a player and a decade already within Carolina’s program.
Doherty was also very clearly and publicity not UNC’s top choice during that search unlike Davis.

From clearly not qualified to very underwhelming
-
Terrible hire for UNC. - -at least not AT ALL a popular choice coming from UNC fans - last one they wanted
-
Seems like a temporary hire to calm the recruits/players and provide continuity? Have they finalized the length of the contract? Hubert seems meh. Never very impressive as an announcer.
-
Texas tech has promotes associate head coach Mark adams to coach Texas tech
-
Dane Fife leaving Izzo to join Indiana as an assistant coach. big loss
-
THE ORCA HAS BEEN FIRED FROM ARIZONA

@BShark I really thought they were going to stick with him

We don’t have room for a big but: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/azuolas-tubelis-1.html That guy is niiice.
-
Mathurin is the only prospect I liked from that team
-
@BeddieKU23 I second this - with the exception that I would totally take Jordan Brown if he was willing to take a bench role.
-
@BShark Yea I just figured they would ride it out with him and that he’d start recruiting like a mad man again.

I thought next season was going to be his last run at a Final Four (Arizona was looking like they would be pretty good next season), but I guess not. The timing of this is sort of weird. Miller only had 1 year left on his contract.
Some names I’ve heard thrown around already are Tommy Lloyd (Gonzaga Assistant), Eric Musselman (Pirate Kansas), Mark Pope (BYU), and Josh Pastner (Ga Tech).
-
Was Brown any good this year? I honestly can’t remember seeing him this year but I don’t think I watched more then 1 AZ game either
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d be lying to you if I said I watched much of him. I just know he has the athletic ability and size that Bill has traditionally done well with.
-
Checked out Arizona’s board for a minute and the first thread I see is Bill Self.
Zona fans blaming KU and Self for Miller getting fired. I guess they found Bill Walton’s stash out there
-
Cincy head coach out… Have to wonder why it took this long. Now they’re behind the gun a bit.
-
@Kcmatt7 Saw this coming with all the players leaving.
