I was talking with an Iona person a few weeks ago.  Rick knows the Iona President through horse racing.  He loves living on a US Open golf course and he has clauses in his contact that if he leaves Iona be has to personally pay the university large $ penalties.  And also apparently at Rick's age he just doesn't want a major U BB job.

It is a nice emeritus gig.

If your Iona person is right, this makes a world of sense.

He's got more money than all but about 0.1% of Americans, he's won NCAA titles. What does he have left to prove? I guess I could see him wanting to show he could win big in the NBA, but otherwise a gig like Iona sounds pretty sweet. He gets to go up against a good program like Alabama and a good coach like Oats, kick some butt, and have everybody talk about how great he is. And if the likes of Loyola and VCU and George Mason can make runs to the Final Four, why not Iona under one of the best coaches ever?

I haven’t watched much of the game, but I checked Hauser’s line and did a search on him and their fans are really flaming him hard. He’s very unpopular there it seems.

My gut feeling about Jay Bilas' proclamation that "Joey Hauser is going to have a big year" is that he's likely wrong.   He may have some decent games vs the right match-ups but he is an enormous defensive liability.  He's also not as good as his brother.  Every  coach when he is on the floor is looking to get a Joey switch and isolate him off the bounce.  We're not taking about a guy with elite quickness.

I generally think Bilas is a good analyst, but he's wrong on these kinds of things quite often. For example, he was on the Harry Froling bandwagon big-time. And he said 100 times that Josh Gasser was gonna have a long NBA career. Among many other poor calls.

He listens to the coaches a lot. Izzo was trying to pump up Hauser before the season, even saying something like he might run the offense through Joey sometimes ... which was kind of comical. Bilas talks to Izzo, and ipso fatso he's talking about Joey having a big year.

If Joey's hitting 3s, he'll stay on the court even if his defense sucks because every team is desperate for shooters. But if he's not hitting 3s, Izzo can't play him because he's too much of a liability otherwise.

Ball hit front of the rim, hit high of the glass and went in for a Dayton shocker!

Great block, well defended, ugly shot high over the defender’ out stretched   hand while fading away from the hoop…ball game. College basketball!

If it didn't go in, there should have been a defensive goaltending call since a KU player hit the net while the ball was bouncing around on the rim. Ref probably would have swallowed his whistle.

The mighty UT-Rio Grande Vaqueros are up 2 vs Illinois with about 11 mins to go in the 2nd half.  Smh.

So much for that signature win. They’ll probably end up decent, but I was hoping that would end up a top 10 win come March.

According to Jay Bilas:  Theo John came to Duke as an 'excellent offensive rebounder".  I guess we learn something new every day.

He was an excellent offensive rebounder. It was the defensive glass he wasn't great at

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
