That would be awesome. That will save MU money to not have to buy out Shaka when we hire Steve Kerr and Jay Wright.

“and”?  Which one will be the head coach and which one will be the assistant?  Or will they trade off based on something like opponent’s style of play or time zone of the game site?

Obviously, someone with Jay Wright's resume could only be an assistant at MU. Turning over the HC position to Jay, even for a few games, is crazy.

I like that tweet teaching for the stars. Two years ago there were MU fans that wanted Brian Wardle.

It was interesting hearing the CBS talking heads, Kellogg, Smith, Barkley, talking about how Purdue should have gone zone, how they weren't sure if Purdue had a zone in their pocket, and if not, that is bad coaching as everyone needs all the tools they can get.   

I though of Bo.
I thought of Murf. 

I chuckled.

I laughed too and thought of some of the same people. Blinders were fine for carriage and draft horses in cities well over a century ago, but in today's college basketball?

Current Status of all openings. A lot have been filled, although some new ones will open when the Marquee positions are filled.

Cooley put his Providence house up for sale, and a lot of other noise that he’s probably on his way to DC by the end of the day.

Have to love how these “reports” often have the coach putting their house on the market before they announce a new job. As if the first thing multimillionaire coaches do and are concerned with, when they are going to accept a new job, is list their house for sale.

What does Purdue do with Painter. Obviously he’s had quite a bit of success there but that’s 3 years in a row with a loss to a double digit seed.

Maybe a change of scenery would be good for him.

The Administration should require him to hire a grey haired assistant.

The house was listed March 3.
Which you can take a lot of ways, except that this isn't a brand new development.

[GOO]

Maybe true. Related?

I remember reports of the Crean’s listing their house just about every year around this time. However, maybe my memory is faulty or biased.

Is there a flight tracker report?

Sounds like Pitino had a meeting with St. John's administration yesterday about if he were to come what commitments he needs on NIL, practice facilities, etc.

My wild guess at what happens:

Georgetown -> Cooley
Providence -> Pitino
St Johns -> Bobby Hurley

Why would Cooley go to GTown?

[JWags85]

Cooley all but confirmed to GTown.  If reports are correct, in the neighborhood of $6MM a year.  I like Cooley and think he's a good coach but thats INSANE money.  He'd be the second highest paid coach in CBB.  Thats an absolutely absurd overpay.

[rgoode57]

I wonder if Pitino will also tell StJ that he also needs a supply of hookers and strippers for the recruits / players. I still cannot believe they are going to hire him. Pathetic look for StJ.

6M???  Crazy.

It’s a pathetic look for St Johns to try and fire Anderson for cause to avoid paying him 11m.

-
According to the termination letter obtained by ESPN, Anderson was fired for "failure to create and support an environment that strongly encourages student-athletes who are in the men's basketball program to meet all university academic requirements," "failure to perform your duties and responsibilities in a manner that reflected positively on St. John's University ... in actions [that] brought serious discredit" to the school and "failure to appropriately supervise and communicate with your assistant coaches."

That’s pretty gross. The Pitino hire doesn’t really bother me, but trying to do that to Anderson is low.

That would mean 11 of the 15 highest-paid college basketball coaches are sitting at home this weekend.
Good on Izzo, Barnes, Cronin and and Muss for being the exceptions.

Mike Brey easing into retirement by way of USF, looks like.
