People say this person or that person is classy ... but Bruce Weber truly is a class act, one of the real nice people in college sports. I wish him well.

Milwaukee born and bred

If KSU paying him in full then UWM can afford him.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Professional negligence if UWM doesn't at least make a call. That costs them nothing.

Careful making that assertion round these parts. 

[JWags85]

This is a great idea, and not just for Duke (though Scheyer has obvious ties to Weber). Weber's a great example of a seasoned coach who would add a lot to the bench as an assistant to any young (or even not-so-young) coach.

Maybe Bruce is still salty over Scheyer's recruitment and doesn't want to help him

By all accounts Dave & Scheyer remain close to this day. Scheyer picking Duke over Illinois ended up being a very good decision for Jon.

Shaka to UWM.

Capel's Buyout is stupid high. His Buyout is 15 million if he is fired after this year, it drops to 5 million after next year.

15 million reasons they brought him back.

Yeah, that'll do it, lol

You know who REALLY deserves to be fired? Whatever person was most responsible for that effen contract!

[JWags85]

Cappel's agent is incredible.  Coming off his last 2 HC seasons at OU winning 9 conference games total, to the bench at Duke which has not been a successful HC factory, to get that high of a buyout 4 dang years into the Pitt gig. Hell even $5MM after 5 years is nuts.  This agent is either a beast or Pitt's AD is a numbskull

[MU82]

Yep

Will Wade out at LSU.

Since they're going to the tournament, did the impending infractions get him now? Kinda odd timing.

Yeah, they got the Notice of Allegations this week. Must have been a strong ass notice.

Something has to be incoming. Would be 4 straight tourneys if not for COVID. Won games in the tourney.  I was surprised he survived the last round of violations so more must be inbound

We'll see...they've tried this before.

[Oldgym]

I see what you did there.

[MUBurrow]

We'll see...they've tried this before.

Yeah wasn't it kind of a miracle that Wade survived an NCAA investigation at LSU the last time around? From an enforcement standpoint, it kinda seems like he's been hanging by a thread regardless of on-court performance.

It would be the ultimate irony if LSU hired Bruce Weber...who can now also cut his hair.

(I know they won't hire Weber.)

I thought that was a really interesting article. I was surprised that Cuonzo's firing generated that big of a reaction given how much he's bounced around and how underwhelming his overall record is.  Seems like a good guy that might do really well in a bit of a smaller environment?  I don't know enough about what part of the country he recruits effectively to guess where that next stop would be, though.

I would think the rule for all non-football sports at LSU is not to give the NCAA any reason to sniff around because it could lead to their football program...which is all they care about.
