Coaching Carousel 2017

[Oldgym]

Sources told ESPN that LSU intends to pursue some "big names." Not sure if the Tigers can land them, but worth a try.

Bo Derek to LSU

[oldwarrior81]

the first part of Majerus' first season he'd come into the coaching huddle during a time out almost in a panic say "What do I tell them?"    Like he had never been in a huddle with a veteran coach.
He got better over the next few years but I think working with Don Nelson and the Bucks really helped.

from the outside, I never got the impression Wojo was in a position of not knowing what to tell the team.

Wat?  The huddles they show on TV only show him hoarsely shouting benign coaching cliches.  Saying that any other MU coach was worst in the huddle than Wojo is pure Scoop blasphemy!

You partially correct. Working with Nelson did wonders for Rick, but never did he not know to control a huddle. That is one advantage young Rick had over Wojo in spades.

[oldwarrior81]

I stood a feet away from Rick in the coaches huddle.

Believe me when I say early on he really was anything but in complete control.  He leaned quite a bit on assistant coach Bob Voight in the huddle.

You're ruining the narrative

And Mr. Groce at Illinois is done........

Hearing from some of my Vegas people that Cuonzo Martin isn't thrilled with Cal and is interested in the Mizzou job...(?)

Sounds like Martin isn't really happy anywhere. I was enthused about the idea of him when we had an opening, but starting to seem like we dodged a bullet.

Martin to Mizzou appears to be a done deal.

[Windyplayer]

This is very much speculative, but hearing that Illinois may have a deal with Tony Bennett for just under $5 million a year. I would be surprised if true, but that is a lot of money.

Surprised they have that kind of money to dish out.

I'm glad we didn't end up with Cuonzo Martin.  He had BOLT written all over him.  We hit a home run with Wojo that offseason.

Talk about failing upwards.
Nine seasons, two NCAA appearances, two NCAA wins = $3 million salary.

[Herman Cain]

If Tony Bennett goes to Illinois for $ 5 million per year , Wojo could probably convince UVA to give him at least 3 million for 5 years.

Everybody agrees.
Now let's discuss this never again.

Shut the unnatural carnal knowledge up

What?

[Uncle Rico]

If Tony Bennett goes to Illinois for $ 5 million per year , Wojo could probably convince UVA to give him at least 3 million for 5 years.

I'll take that bet

[MomofMUltiples]

Why would Bennett leave UVA for Illinois when Barry couldn't get him to Wisconsin?

[GGGG]

I'm glad we didn't end up with Cuonzo Martin.  He had BOLT written all over him.  We hit a home run with Wojo that offseason.

I'm not necessarily convinced that he would have left Marquette immediately.  Bad fit at Cal.

But Wojo is a better fit here anyway.

Please stop this nonsense.
