Does Georgetown even have a plan?

I just saw that. Good news for the Friars.

Crean = "tax-accountant-meets-serial-killer" ?! Not a bad description, not bad at all ...

Cooley taking a page from the Lonesome Cowboy's rodeo book, yowsa.

Dayton hires Anthony Grant.  Might not be the worst move for them--had some success at VCU before fizzling at Alabama, which might mean it is more likely that he sticks around long term.

Oh, and he's an alum.

Why does Ben Jacobson never show up on any potential hiring lists?

Good question. I was worried he'd go to UW and do very well.

Good article on our erstwhile deposed former leader. LInk to TC podcast interview with JVG.

Seems happy at UNI and the feelings seem to be mutual. Just signed today to extension thru 2027

Neither the money nor competition/exposure will be there especially after Wichita State bails. But hey, if he's happy, that's all that matters.

I think its a combo of him turning down jobs in the past due to happiness at UNI, and then they had a pretty poor year this year, so he wasn't a hot mid major name at the moment.

Speaking of the MVC, surprised Dan Muller's name isn't popping up more for jobs.

[Pakuni]

Anthony Grant lands at Dayton, apparently.

[Oldgym]

Dropped in on a Georgetown discussion just now to see if they're getting anywhere in their search.  They aren't, but there was this gem:

Relax, we're just waiting for the winner of the Final Four. And then we will swoop in and hire the national champion coach whether it be Mark Few, Roy Williams, Frank Martin or the Oregon guy. Stick with the "Process".

[Tums Festival]

He would definitely be a hair-raising hire...

It's easy for me to say given that I don't have all of these options, but I also would be happy to stay at a place like UNI.

With the money in college basketball today, a coach does not need to go to a pressure-cooker situation to make more than he will need for his entire life. (And then some.) At UNI, you can win, you can succeed, you can help kids become men, all the things coaches say they want to do ... and you don't face ridiculous expectations.

There are always expectations, and any decent coach puts pressure on himself or herself regardless of the level. I will never get fired from my middle-school job, but I do put pressure on myself.

Good PR for Coach Crean

So along with Indiana, MU is a pressure-cooker job; especially if the coach reads Scoop to be sure.

Can't imagine Scoop or anywhere outside of UNI would be too kind on him after they blew a 12 point lead w/ 35 seconds to go in NCAA round 2 last year

Nah, dat wood bee Gard, hey?

Georgetown put out strong feelers to Xavier's Chris Mack at $4 million per year, source told ESPN. Mack staying at Xavier. - Jeff Goodman

Damnit Georgetown, at least poach a coach from a different league, you asshats.

Haha WTF were they thinking? Mack is from Cincy, he's an X grad, and he just took them to the E8. Obvious rejection, now they just look stupid.
