Gard wasn't feeling the heat this year.

i think you always feel the heat when your in a position for which your AD and at least two high $$$ alum didn't ever really want you in.

Could be. I don't know anything. But this much silence in a coaching search is odd. You want to name someone ASAP to deal with recruiting. Look what Illinois did.

And I don't think the AD should be sitting around and waiting for someone to be done before talking to him. Glass should have dozens of connections with Alford, Holtmann and Mack. Use them.

Tony Bennett.

Tony Bennett has lost three players the last few days. I wonder if these players were just recruited over or if something is up in Charlottesville...(?)

Can't see him leaving for anything other than the NBA, of which he would not be doing right now.

Oh, so you're saying he has been negotiating a contract for the last 5 days. And 3 players just decided to leave town...

Got it

Wow. Georgetown fired John Thompson 3! While he has underperformed this season I am surprised.

Thats a questionable choice in my opinion. Good way to kill a promising career dead at a place that eats up coaches since Cal. Even Travis Ford didn't make an NCAA before he got the OK St job.

For Georgetown, this would be a great hire.

For the Big East, this would be terrible. The recent success of some of the old "have-nots" in the BE (Providence, Seton Hall) has been good for the conference as a whole. If PCs most successful coach since Pitino left for a "big name" conference rival it would further entrench the divisions between the "haves" and have-nots. Providence going back to its old Big East dumpster status would be bad for the conference as a whole.

Watching Oregon tonight, I forgot that Altman took the Arkansas job before backing out and going back to Creighton after the press conference. He ended up going to Oregon a year or two later.

How can conferences prohibit players from transferring between schools and allow coaches to do so with a straight face.

I would be curious how "loyal" Gard would be. I know he is from the area and is pretty comfortable. But he had an interim tag, all last season. Bo also used his father's death as a reason not to retire earlier, when really Bo probably was let go when all of his off court transgressions were coming to light. That can't look good. Also, your boss is the old football coach; the basketball program will always come second. Chryst makes twice as much as him right now.

Bo backed out of his retirement because Barry wouldn't hire Gard permanently. Basically he pulled what Dick Bennett did for Soderberg. The difference being Gard put himself in a position to get the job at the end of the year.

Saw Mike Brey's name get thrown around for the Georgetown job. He has DC roots in that he grew up in the area and was assistant at DeMatha (which, for us Washingtonians, ew). Would be thrilled to see a Big East school pull away an ACC coach...and from Notre Dame no less!

Would Crean be a fit at Dayton? Or would he look for something bigger and they go for an up-and-comer?

But why would be leave for what would be considered at best a lateral move, but would really be a step down?
