2019 Coaching Carousel

[brewcity77]

If by that you mean "winning and frequent deep tourney runs" I'd agree.
But a flashier style with the same results - i.e. zero Sweet 16s, one conference title in five seasons - wasn't going to save Ben in LA.

Alford's teams were more up-tempo, and his first five seasons at  UCLA were better than Howland's last five, and that got him fired.

The difference is Howland's success at UCLA. He had the success, but not the style. Alford had the style but not the success. If Howland had his track record and teams that were "fun" to watch, I think the 3 Final Fours would've saved him.

Yep...except for the cheerleaders.

The Sun Dolls/Guys aren't getting any love?

That's the proper level for him, much like New Mexico.

Alford has more lives than the dismembered knight in The Holy Grail.

Highest total taxes in USA....Cost of living insane....I'm guessing he comes out slightly behind, but not by a ton.  At least he has much better weather, but much worse traffic.

One site I went to this morning shows $2.2M in Cincinnati would require $4.4M in Brentwood.

509 Career Wins gets you a 10 year deal. Good deal for both parties. Hope he can sign up Haanif.

Alford is pure scum. The crap he pulled at Iowa re: Pierre Pierce should have been disqualifying a decade plus ago. I hope Nevada and Alford reap what they sow. Oh, and it's debatable whether he can even coach anymore - he's done pretty much nothing but underachieve.

I agree with this analysis

[brewcity77]

Reportedly Porter Moser & Ryan Odom are also in the mix at St John's. Moser would really make me laugh.

[The Sultan]

Doc Sadler left his head coaching gig at Southern Miss to become an assistant at Nebraska - a place that fired him as head coach less than a decade ago.

Nebraska is really shelling out the resources for Hoiberg.  Not only Sadler, but Matt Abdelmassih from St. Johns, and Bobby Lutz as a "special assistant."

Ol' "One Season Moser," he's known as.

Really? A full season.

Unlike Three Hump Chump Rick? Master of the Three Stroke Poke!

A full season, huh? 

[brewcity77]

He should've jumped last year at any job he could get. Yes, LUC was great. 32-6, Final Four, 15-3 in league. It was Moser's 11th year in the MVC with two different schools. In the previous 10 seasons, he had losing conference records 10 times. Dude caught lightning in a bottle. And with Custer & Townes leaving, he's down to the last few drops of spark. Better get while the getting's good.

Yep. I said it at the time, and I wasn't the only one. He shoulda parlayed that into something, because he'll probably never get another chance.

I've seen nothing tying Moser to SJU.

I've been involved in coaching searches. I have been amused when print media and social media name a coach had being a candidate, interviewed or even offered when that never happened and that person wasn't actually under consideration.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Porter just bought Tom Ricketts's house so I don't think he is hurting.

Adam Zagoria tweeted it out. He's pretty well established & tied in among northeast college basketball programs.

Zach Braziller also reported the same, he covers NYC college basketball.
