2018 Coaching Carousel

[PJDunn]

After the debacle of Eustachy they need a feel good basketball story in Fort Collins.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Steve Cottingham 2nd in command there.

Could be the story of the off-season if true.  I have no doubt she could coach players on the court, but my biggest worry as an AD would be recruiting.  Would players, many of whom come from areas/schools/families that aren't as "woke" as Gregg Popovich, be interested in playing for a woman.  It's not like there are a ton of female coaches in the high school and AAU ranks so players would be used to it.

I'm rooting for her, especially on International Women's Day!

She's pretty hot, though (as far as female coaches go).  That can be a advantage as a recruiter.

The Cougar Method of recruiting.

His seat was getting hotter, but IMHO he still had another season or two to turn it around. Vandy has historically been pretty good in basketball, but they aren't a school that quickly pulls the trigger on a coach who has a couple of down years.

I can confirm, he was about to lose his job. Now they will pay him a lot of money to leave.

not a chance in hell pop hires someone that uses that tool. 

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

It's not sounding good for Kevin Ollie.  A local columnist actually listed Tom Crean's name as an possible replacement.

[94Warrior]

So, which of these teams have a 2018 PG , or Sr PG with a remaining year of eligibility? 

That is all I really care about these programs.

This topic was discussed in the chat room last night and it was concluded said tools are an impermissible benefit .

Mick Cronin has to get one of these big jobs right?   Can't believe he has Cincy in the top-10

I think Cincy is a damn good job. Other than being in the AAC it seems to check all the boxes.

Cronin's reputation is such that he begged and pleaded for the UNLV job last year and still couldn't get out of Cincinnati. He's stuck.

They're perfect for each other.

Kevin Ollie out at UConn.
Is that still a good job?

Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria
"The University of Connecticut has initiated disciplinary procedures to terminate the employment of Head Men's Basketball Coach Kevin Ollie for just cause. The University will have no further comment on the matter until the completion of both the University's disciplinary process

[chapman]

They owe $10 million to Ollie and don't want to pay it.  That NCAA investigation not going so well?

[Oldgym]

Mark Fox out at Georgia.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Longest tenured high major coach without a tournament streak at his current school.

He only held the dubious distinction for a month or so. Andy Kennedy at Ole Miss had it but was canned before the end of the season

Wow, I'm not thinking that using looks to recruit opposite sex players works out well in the long run for anyone.  Anyone know of a male coach making that work in the women's game?

[Dawson Rental]

I'd agree if they weren't winning so much.

Tyler Summitt.
Then again, that didn't work out too well for him.

They aren't recruiting teenage boys.

By the time I figured out that a young man will do almost anything for a girl if there is a one in a million chance he would get lucky with her, that window of opportunity was just about gone.

I thought Coach Hammon was a gay woman.

So many lost opportunities....
