Virginia is 12-8. Louisville is 11-9. These are programs that have been in the FF pretty recently. Self has his faults but is REMARKABLE in that he never seems to end up with down years like that.
-
@BShark Dook was 15-13 last year, as I recall. Tucky was 9-16. We don’t have years like that. Whoever we get once Bill calls it quits will be a step down.
-
@Jethro yep yep yep.
UNC right now too… One bad hire away.
-
@BShark Nice coif dude.
-
Will Wade might be a bit of a dummy. Obviously he can recruit but my would be interested in Will Wade if Self retired talk is looking a bit rough.
-
@BShark to rough and to dumb
-
My king Will Wade has fallen, fired by LSU.

So many teams should hire him it’s not even funny. Maryland, KSU, Mizzou
What he did and got caught doing is legal now. Guy is going to thrive with the new rules
-
KU should absolutely back and keep Self. Idgaf that he participated in something every single good basketball team does. It’s dumb that LSU cares. He will land on his feet
-
Perhaps the NOA was the final straw. They canned Eddy for football too so its been a bit of getting away from things
-
@BeddieKU23 they had to know they were coming though right? Seems funny to have not fired him sooner if that was the reason
-
Maybe he spends a year in the studio rehabbing his image?
Rick Pitino gets a P5 job this off-season too yea?

Pitino just signed what amounts to a lifetime deal at Iona and will be 70 when next season begins. He also already turned down the Maryland job which is probably going to be one of the 2 or 3 best jobs open this season so I don’t he’s headed back to a P5 job.

Doesn’t make much sense but guessing behind the scenes things might be more intense

Idea: Townsend rides into the sunset, we rehab Wade.

This is a strong ass idea

I think y’all need to look a little harder at that NOA…

How about Dooley? I think Wade is radioactive at the moment…
( Plus, I cannot stand Wade’s facial expressions during games. He truly looks like he bit into a strong assed shit sandwich.)

Dooley can replace Townsend when he goes to take his nap.

So no one would ever confuse Tom Crean with a proper basketball coach but going 16-16 (5-13 in league play) with a roster that had Anthony Edwards, Sahvir Wheeler and Rayshaun Hammonds is IMPRESSIVE in its own special way.

He knows Bill about to go on a tear.
In all honestly, he was a likable guy. Basketball is worse without him.

Bill is the best coach in CBB now. It really can’t even be argued.
-
If we didn’t have Self I would have wanted Jay Wright.
-
This announcement has twitter absolutely roasting Coach K rn too which is an added bonus
-
@Kcmatt7 DESERVED
-
Wow I can’t believe it. Jay was my pick to replace Self if we ever had the opening. Mad respect for him
-
Hmmm whats up Cam, Brendan, Mark?
-
I bet $1 that Jay will either be at Duke or Kentucky in 2 years. Part of the plan
-
@rockchalkwyo Nope. Legit retirement. Going into broadcasting and enjoying time with his family.
-
All I can say is WOW. - - Didn’t see that coming
-
Bill Self is currently the only active D1 men’s basketball head coach with multiple national championships, at least according to official NCAA records since nobody officially won the 2013 title.
-
Jay’s retirement is a huge loss to college basketball.
-
Imagine if Wright had beaten us in the Final 4 again and then retired. I’d loath him forever but since we handed him his last L the world is good! Enjoy retirement Jay.

No it was mentioned yesterday, I think it was off an ESPN article it’s now Him & Rick Pitino as the only one’s
-
Nova already hired Wright’s replacement so sounds like this was in the works… There may not be attrition since the new coach was his former assistant

Yeah this was planned. Probably sent him off for HC experience as part of the plan.
Jeremy Case is on an extremely similar path, just in the earlier stages of it. Kyle started as a video coordinator for Jay, lol.

Jerome Tang 2 KU

Jerome Tang 2 KU
Let’s check back in 5 years on this guy. Impressive to make K-St relevant for a year with the roster overhaul he’s had but the next thing will be seeing how he recruits, how he develops guys that didn’t already spend most of their career developing somewhere else. Johnson & Nowell were already finished products when he got here & represent the 1% of College Players at their positions. Very interested to see how effective his offense is when he doesn’t have 2 All Conference guys.
-
@BeddieKU23 I actually think he is incredibly cheesy and phony. Miss me with the spiritual stuff.
-
@BShark Spiritual stuff is a real thing for a lot of people. Including me. I haven’t watched him enough to know if he’s cheesy and phony.
-
I like him as a person. I keep thinking how he toiled away for 20 years, and nobody gave him the time of day. Then I look at Baylor and they look not as elite as in years past, and then I look at the Puddy Tats and think they kinda look semi-elite, and say “What changed”? The Brains of Baylor left, and went to Silo Tech. And dude went and got Keyonte. And turned up Nowell. New Coach Thad Matta is laying a turd on Butler and this dude has Silo Tech in the Top 10. Drew can’t come in out of the rain compared to Tang, imo. Yeah, the dancing BS is BS, cheesy milking the crowd type crap is annoying, but he’ll get better at that too once he’s been around awhile. I believe it’s in our interest that they don’t suck. Not sucking means more eyeballs on our games, even on streaming games. We’re a national brand - we need competitive games.

It’s clearly a big part of who he is, which is (I think) unfortunately rare today. I have zero problem with him expressing himself in that way. I also have zero problem with people poking fun at it on occasion.

Yeah I definitely think he should be able to express himself how he wants. It’s just a bit over the top for me personally. I know Baylor while he was there leaned into religion for recruiting and negative recruiting especially against KU. Don’t know how much of that was Tang of course.
