Not sure that it has been mentioned elsewhere, but Coach Killings in Albany is being investigated for hitting a player.

He claims it was unintentional.
Unfortunate for all involved. Killings get his head coaching chance, brings Luke Fizulich with him as a walk on. Fizulich actually gets some modest playing time and now this.

Sounds like DK is done. Either that or Albany's radio broadcaster is a complete jackass.

Question for the coaching afficionados....

I thought the knock on Steele was that he could recruit but was not a good XO coach?  If so,  aren't they the worse coaches to hire for the next level down?  Their recruiting will not be as good given they are that level down,  and they cannot make it up with their coaching?

It seems like you would want a coach that was an average recruiter but a good XO guy when you hire him from a high major?

The counter point is if you can outrecruit the majority of the conference, the talent level can often be enough to make up for the lack of Xs and Os.

I think it's a really good hire.  Their primary message board was pretty tepid when his name was coming up early in the search but given their recent basketball history, it's kind of bizarre.  They had a big fixation on one of Charlie Coles old assistants who has coached on floundering teams since leaving.

Steele's ties to the area are very strong.  If he can recruit I think he can do fairly well there

@wojespn: University of Miami associate head coach Chris Caputo is finalizing a deal to become George Washington's new coach, sources tell ESPN.

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

Nored obviously has a connection with Butler, but Shoals has one with Matta from Ohio State days.

Makes sense.  Forgot about his area ties as well.

We talked about this a month or so ago. I think my "internal" Butler options (given this is how they like to go) would be Nored or Ryan Pedon (OSU Asst that was at Butler with Holtmann).

Still think Medved would fit if they went external.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Ryan Pedon already took the Illinois State job. Sounds like Jeff Boals (whose buyout drops tomorrow) is the guy.

If he gets Sears and Vander Plas right away. Butler 1000% made the correct move.

Thad Matta your new Butler coach.

The last two season has seen significant upgrades in BE coaching. Now what to do about Georgetown.

For the Big East, they have hired three new head coaches (Matta, Miller and Holloway) with a combined: an NCAAT Runner-Up, a Final Four, Seven Elite Eights, Five Sweet 16s, 25 NCAAT Appearances and an NIT Championship (and that is without Jay Wright's numbers included). The Big East stepped up in a big way with coaching hires this cycle, as each new coach has made an Elite Eight or better. The league just got even harder.

St. John's and Georgetown are on the clock.
