2023 Coaching Carousel

[WhiteTrash]

I would rather Cooley leave PC for the Hilltop than for Michigan. Let's keep our best coaches in conference.   

With this carousel the BE got better, much better.

St John's landed a HOFer
Georgetown got a proven BE coach
PC got a hot up and comer

the BE coaching roster continues to be the best in the nation.

Greg Gard alone doesn't put the Big10 in the top spot.

He's a scum bag off the court, but I think he's the real deal as a coach and recruiter. I think Texas would be a powerhouse with him.

Yea when people repeatedly win, regardless of level and at "lesser" programs, it sort of establishes that. Even if they play the $$$ game higher along.  AKA Pitino as discussed, violations aside he's still someone who could take your 5 and beat his 5.   Same with Self early on.

I see nothing wrong with Georgetown reaching out to Cooley before the season ends. And by "to Cooley" I mean his agent. Cooley knew Georgetown was interested. Georgetown knew Cooley was interested. It's a job search. There's nothing wrong with it. People continue working for their employers while looking for/talking with potential new jobs all the time.

I had a problem with this kind of thing when coaches could do it -- all the while preaching loyalty -- but players couldn't (without facing the specter of having to sit out a season). Now that players have similar freedom ... that's America, baby!

I love the Cooley move. Fun college basketball isn't built on kumbaya conferences where we all like each other. It is built on intense rivalries where teams and their fan bases loathe one another.

The Big East is a great conference but it currently lacks the kinds of rivalries it had when Syracuse and Georgetown were facing off.

It is good for the conference to have teams that hate each other. It builds interest and passion. Maybe this is the start of one of those rivalries between Providence and Georgetown. I welcome it.

I agree with this analysis

When I Googled the phrase "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Pearl's picture popped up.

F%$k The sleaze Pitino.

Slackers! Contributing to the worker shortage! 

I looked at it as creating an opportunity for someone else.

Kim English played Jayden Pierre one-on-one to decide if he would enter the portal 😂

You can see why English would be an appealing hire.

I am bullish on English Enterprises .

Love it.  A bit of a Shaka vibe there.

Looks like Mike Rhoades to PSU?

Hilarious line from the ESPN story:
Rhoades was making nearly $1.7 million at VCU and is expected to be able to nearly double that at Penn State. His hire there would be yet another reminder of how the Big Ten and SEC are pulling away from the rest of the college sports landscape because of how much more lucrative their television contracts are.

Didn't the Big10 just lose a coach to the ACC?

Good point. But I could guess you could say ND is an ACC member like someone is a practicing Catholic who attends Christmas and Easter mass only.  And, I think ND's finances are stronger than your average ACC member due to their own TV deal.

It was a coach-off, and Wojo lost

Mark Madsen to Cal.  Done a nice job at Utah Valley and he's from the Bay Area.  Seems a fairly natural fit.  Stanford has to be kicking themselves.  They've been holding on to a lame duck coach for years and now their rival steals a former Stanford legend who would have ran barefoot to Palo Alto from Utah to take the job if offered.  I assume they thought they would have another year and get Madsen next spring and avoid extra buyout costs?

Temple offered its head coaching position to Dennis Gates assistant, CY Young. Then the University President at Temple resigned, so he withdrew his name from consideration:

Temple is deep into the weeds in its search.
