<![CDATA[Coaching Staff]]>I don't know how much validity there is to this, but saw a post on Facebook today that Jeremy Case is going to interview for the Arizona St. job. Also saw that rapper/producer Master P is interested in the Arizona St. job which is interesting considering his son currently plays at Houston.

I need to see Flory go right at Zuby be aggressive and make Zuby defend early. I think we are starting to fall into the old thing again of just having the ball in Darryn's and everybody else just standing around waiting for Darryn make a play. while the rest of the team stands around and slosh's through sludge

Oh, wait. I thought you wrote "fried" not "fired."

To make a fair comparison, popes tend to be much older when selected, and it should be noted we have only given one coach a contract for life. All the popes have that, with resignation being quite unusual. Finally, popes tend to get promoted sooner than coaches and the promotion is definitely permanent.

But also to make it fair, Popes never are fired.

Yeah I’d be pretty surprised if he walked away. Seems like he’s still enjoying it.

KU is a 3.5 dog to Pitino's team. After last night's second half, I guess I should feel lucky it wasn't an even bigger, more insulting spread. What the hell is going on with KU basketball? I've wondered that all year.

IMO, he sticks around.

Any chance he’d go to OSU to close out his career!

It could mean the top 2 jobs in the sport come open at the same time while the top candidates are still in the tournament.

Case hasn’t proven anything to me that makes me think he is going to be a great coach. I wish him well but he was Terrible as a recruiting coordinator.

@BShark

Im fine with it all. We have a major coaching issue

what's the issue?

Advanced scouting in season has been trash in recent years. How many times has KU come out and looked unprepared against teams? That's the assistants not being good with advanced scouting

Goodman reported it

ASU writers are saying they ended up not interviewing him iirc. He is definitely looking to leave however. Don't think he was thrilled with JV being interim at CU when he is the one with the AHC tag.

Bland looking for a HC job as well.
