Strong support.

Quit being such a dick and name them already.

He did. "Strong" support.

Holy Ellipses!

I for one prefer reading posts that are more ellipses than words

Treating them like ad-libs sometimes ads profound meaning.

Like Retire0, I thought this was clever.

C'mon y'all.  What's Mr. Strong's first name?

Imagine being as incredibly successful as "certain boosters" and yet having such a complete blind spot for Tom Crean.

Maybe more of a commentary on how being successful at one specific thing doesn't mean you automatically have any credibility outside that particular field...

I think you underestimate the mesmerizing effect of a man in a full karate suit and crocs nearly tipping over an ATV has on people.

Yeah, I have met a number of successful people who don't exactly have a breadth of knowledge.

Richard?

And short for Richard is...dick.  Hence, "don't be a dick."  I was playing along.

[Billy Hoyle]

DePaul update from HoopDirt. Mike Davis is a new name to the search. Seems like a very DePaul hire if hs gets it.

It sounds like Knicks assistant Kenny Payne will be part of the narrowed down group at DePaul. He and new DePaul AD DeWayne Peevy are tight from their time together at Kentucky. Cleveland State head coach Dennis Gates, Detroit head coach Mike Davis, and Pacific head coach Damon Stoudamire are all reportedly in the mix as well.

You did it excellently.

You did it excellently.

+1

It was wonderfully subtle. I almost quoted it this morning to criticize before I stopped and had one of those "oh, I'm a dumbass" moments.

Lon Kruger retiring.
That's a pretty good opening ... though I don't see it being a fit for any serious MU candidate other than Gates.

OU may be looking up the road to Tulsa at Paul Mills, who is very familiar with the Big 12. Or, one of the myriad of qualified MWC coaches out there like Smith and Medved.

Eh, could be a lot of dominoes that fall depending on who OU hires

Is Marquette the best job on the market right now? Normally I’d say it’s I4 but I think the expectations are borderline too unrealistic for that program.

Oklahoma is a very good job

Oklahoma is a very good job

some coaches, Nate Oats included, have said that they like being a hoops coach at a big time football school. You get the money and exposure but you aren't a focal point of the media and alumni.

If it has not been mentioned Kelsey leaving Winthrop to coach Charleston

Kelsey must have been convinced he had 0.00% chance at any of the top openings. He will double his salary at Charleston, but otherwise it's basically a lateral move. Still, if you know you're not getting MU, IU, OU, DePaul, etc, doubling one's salary to about $500K ain't chopped liver.

It's the best job in that conference.  Personally, I think he wants the Xavier job, and knows Travis Steele is going to end up on the hot seat here in a year or two if he doesn't turn things around.
