OT: 2021 Coaching Carousel

[Uncle Rico]

Meh if he starts bombing Boone buys him out with pocket change

He's dead and quit bankrolling the athletic department awhile back

From the grave?

Oh haha RIP

I mean, if Hugo Chavez could fix the U.S. election, why not a dead guy paying Boynton's buyout?

Exactly!

Was it really necessary for Oklahoma State to give Boynton a SEVEN-year extension?

I can understand some kind of extension, but that's an awfully long one for a coach who has never won squat without the No. 1 draft pick on his team.

OK St was a dumpster fire.  Both in terms of on the court performance with Ford and sanctions.  Boyton steadied the ship, brought in a top 25 class before Cunningham, and then another top 100 guard with CC this year.  He's favored on some really good players in 2022.  It's a bit long but otherwise I get it

Rumor is DePaul went after him

So Woodson wants Larry Brown on his staff?  This IU experiment will be interesting.

Why the hell would Larry Brown want to do that? He is 80 years old and literally hasn't been an assistant coach since Bobby Knight was at Army.  He could get a HC gig if he wanted it.

According to Goodman, Duke assistant Nate James is leading candidate for the Austin Peay job.
That would open a spot Duke's bench for you know who.

Thanks, Dr. B. That makes more sense then.

I understand giving him an extension, Wags ... but almost through the end of the decade seemed a bit much. But if DePaul or others were after him, maybe OSU felt they had to do it.

Another career Duke assistant, always pans out!  But at least that's a more reasonable level

That's what I'm thinking. He's only 37, relatively low salary, suitors will be coming sooner rather than later

Fordham hiring Villanova assistant Kyle Neptune ss its head coach.

That's an out of this world hire.

Kyle Uranus was not available?

He was, but his team stinks.

DePaul worthy candidate

Bobby Knight likes Woodson hire at IU. Among other things says Woodson will be an "Outstanding Disciplinarian......"

Bobby Knight likes Woodson hire at MU.

Did he back out on Indiana to be an assistant to Shaka?

[PhillyWarrior]

Depends on reputation and staff.  How much is Coach K hitting the road versus his staff hitting the road?  Mike Woodson doesn't have that luxury because despite coaching in the NBA, he hasn't put dudes in the NBA or won titles in college.


If he hires a good staff, some of that can be mitigated.  I do believe he'll be enthusiastic about turning Indiana around but is an uphill battle

He's gonna hit the road...face first---road kill

Crap. I thought we hired Shaka.

Illinois hired Brad Underwood away from OSU after OSU basically low balled him.  Probably wanted to make a statement...

The ETSU men's basketball team took a knee during the National Anthem during a game earlier this season, and several Republican lawmakers in the state sent a letter to universities in Tennessee saying they do not condone those actions.

Jason Shay is now out as head coach.

He resigned. Good for him. He's gonna land on his feet and be fine--took the team to the SoCon finals in his first year.
