OT: 2021 Coaching Carousel

[Golden Avalanche]

I think Ewing will be retained. They've actually posted some good results after a tough start and have a marquee recruit coming in. He'll get another year or two to right the ship.

Agreed.

Surprised he'd be on the list to leave. Hoyas have been much better in the results category then they should be and Ewing has stabilized a bit on the recruiting trail.

[Dr. Blackheart]

He has had his own Hausergates. Georgetown alums have deep pockets but with their trajectory this season and the recruiting class, I agree he stays.

Are there any laws or rules or regulations or guidelines against some MU alum saying, "If you want Wojo gone but the only thing that's preventing it is the buyout, here's $10M to cover his buyout, his assistants and a down payment on the great coach you'll hire to replace him"?

Obviously, I doubt that's gonna happen. Just didn't know if the NCAA or MU or feds or state or anybody else has rules against such a thing.

Pretty sure that's what happened at Wake.

[MU82]

So the answer would be no? If that's the case, put me down for a C-note!

[JakeBarnes]

Hey guys, totally in for contributing to a buyout. Made a ton on the market last year.

Oh crap. XBI is down from 170s to 130s. Nevermind, back to being broke.

[The Sultan]

It happens all of the time.  But the institution can't say its happening because it put the tax deductibility of the donations at risk.

[Silent Verbal]

If I knew my money was going towards Wojo's buyout and that MU would pull the trigger on ousting him after the season, I would absolutely throw in $100.

How about a $1 per post?

Not 2021, but going to happen sooner or later.

Duke would be wise to hire someone completely out of the Coach K tree.  Start fresh from the get go.  May be some hard feelings and lumps but few that chase the past can recapture it

Honestly, outside of UNC, the majority of the blue bloods have found their most recent successes that way. 

Cal at Kentucky and Pitino before him were outside the family. Tubby was there briefly under Pitino, but the vast majority of his pre-UK career was elsewhere.

Bill Self spent a season after graduation at KU, but his formative years were at a rival. Roy wasn't a KU guy.

Howland wasn't a UCLA guy. Harrick, like Tubby, spent a couple seasons in Westwood, but the vast majority of his pre-UCLA career was elsewhere.

Louisville, same story.

The relative failure of everyone from K's coaching tree should make it even easier

Is Tubby on the market?

And Roy proved himself at Kansas.  There may not have been a national title but there was plenty of success. 

I suppose at schools like Butler and Xavier, staying in the family works but that's a different level of success.

Sultan would go broke.

[brewcity77]

He's at his alma mater, High Point. So far, he's 34-53 in 3 seasons. I'm sure he'd take the call from a high major, but why anyone would call is beyond me.

Agree 100%. The Coach K tree has Dutch Elm disease anyway. Other than maybe a Mike Brey as a short term caretaker there's nobody who should be given even a curtesy consideration.

Quinn Snyder seems to be doing just fine. He did flame out at the college level but remade himself into a top 5 NBA coach IMHO....

[MU82]

Regular-season results-wise, definitely.

He kinda looks like a movie character who is always strung out on somethin' though.

Probably because he's spent a third of his life strung out.

that was pretty much the issue at Mizzou

Only Toronto and Milwaukee have had a higher winning percentage than Quin Snyder since 2019. (.575 win percentage in seven seasons at Utah) He'll be the first ever Utah coach to coach the All Star Game. Quin can coach. Ask Pop. Worked hard, paid his dues. (Snyder did fine his first four college seasons) Great basketball mind.

Seriously? Wow ... I was not familiar with his life story.

Good on him getting sober.

Cocaine and Coeds, classic problem. Nothing some NBA stints and an excursion to Moscow couldn't solve
