OT: 2021 Coaching Carousel

[Herman Cain]

Happy for Hubert Davis. I think he will do a very good job for UNC. He is a born and bred Tar Heel. I also like that he has been out of the UNC ecosystem as a player and TV analyst.

[JWags85]

he wasn't terrible at CMU. One conference title, four postseason appearances. For a program like CMU that is about as good as it gets. They've done very little outside of the Dan Majerle years and Chris Kaman years. He took over a dumpster fire from Ernie Ziegler, who was only hired to get his kid to CMU.

Yea he was.  He had under a .400 winning percentage. And that's not just in a watered down MAC, but in the West division which had sent a team to the NCAAs just twice in the last 20 years.  Toledo is the only consistently decent program, WMU fell off by the time he got there.  He shouldn't get credit for CBI and CIT appearances when they finished a game over .500 overall or 7-11 in conference like one of those years.

CMU is a crappy job, but that doesn't mean he was any less crappy.  He had Marcus Keene in a year he led the nation in scoring and another guard who averaged 21 and was quite good and then finished 6-12 in conference

62-96 in the MAC, with only three winning seasons in nine years. Gone from 10 wins to 7 wins to 3 wins the past three years.
Pretty terrible.

The Hubert Davis era is off to an odd start with a strange press conference

I didn't watch it yet

What was so strange about in your view?

[JWags85]

He very deliberately called out being proud to have a white wife, and "kids who are a combination" of him and his white wife when talking about the importance of him being one of only 4 African American coaches across all sports in UNC history.

And it wasn't a clumsily worded phrase due to nerves cause he said the exact same thing, almost verbatim, in a round table interview filmed before the presser.

He also just came of kind of awkward in some of his answers, which is odd given his extensive past experience on TV

Sean Miller out at Arizona.

[Galway Eagle]

Sean Miller out at Arizona.

Does he get another shot at college with all the FBI stuff? Or does he go to the NBA?

[The Sultan]

Sean Miller out at Arizona.

Damon Staudamire as replacement?

[cheebs09]

Damon Staudamire as replacement?

Would Pastner be an option? He wasn't there when Miller was there.

[Pakuni]

Damon Staudamire as replacement?

Would seem to be a favorite, along with Miles Simon.

[The Sultan]

Would Pastner be an option? He wasn't there when Miller was there.

Ahhhh...  Yeah that's another option.

[MU82]

Sean Miller out at Arizona.

Whoa.

This spring hasn't been Miller Time!

Who would have thought that UNC,IU, OK, TX, TX Tech, AZ, IA St, MN, NM, Penn St, BC, Depaul and Marquette all would be looking for coaches in the same year?

edit: added more schools

[MU82]

Who would have thought that UNC,IU, OSU, OK, TX and AZ all would be looking for coaches in the same year?

And Marquette.

Which OSU?

With collegiate athlete "Pay to Play" becoming a reality, you'd think Sean Miller would be a hot commodity right now.  He knows the system as well as anyone.

Yeah. So much for Covid giving coaches a break this season.

[Eye]

Top 2 choices I'm hearing are Gonzaga's top assistant and Musselman.

UA guys who are coaching in college/NBA these days - D Stoudamire (Pacific, interviewed for DePaul), Walton (Kings), Simon (Lakers assistant), Pastner (Geo Tech), Terry (UA asst).

Don't think very many would have had those thoughts and it sure as hell would not be the guys, some who posted here, using the excuse that coaches, including Wojo-Dukiet, could not be canned this year, because...wait for it...covid

[NickelDimer]

Miller fired a couple years too late. Another reminder that Mark Emmert is a complete ass and the NCAA is a joke.
