2024 Coaching Carousel

[MU82]

Kind of a douchebag move by Cal to do this tonight, on the eve of the National Championship game.
Typical I guess

Not really fair to those teams and kids playing tomorrow to pull away any of the storylines.

Also, now it'll be a ton of Hurley to Kentucky talk, which is a distraction whether you can help it or not.

Bottle the news up and announce it on Tuesday

Stuff happens when it happens. Cal probably wasn't even behind the news being leaked. Also, UConn v Purdue is getting more than enough hype.

[Uncle Rico]

Now Scott Drew can really cheat even more

[Uncle Rico]

wonder why he turned down louisville now??

Because he prayed on it, I thought?

[avid1010]

nope!    SD to kentucky  been quietly in the works since word went out about cal being on hot seat

apparently you don't threaten an elite coach, an eye talian elite coach

You are hilarious to everyone but yourself.

Well you see...the guy who had inside info on Michigan from his brother....knew this was why he turned down Louisville.  See Cal wasn't on the hot seat until he met with the AD (like he was never considering OSU), and then Drew knew that SMU via USC via Arkansas would open Kentucky for Drew.  While the TINY buyout on Drew's (signed or unsigned?) extension is truly the giveaway to the entire world that he wants the ability to leave when he wants to leave.

As an evangelical Christian myself, I just assumed he was praying for a bigger payday

I see we all practice the prosperity gospel here.  God works in mysterious ways...especially within CBB.

Sometimes, God raises up Abilene Christian so that MU fans can kvetch about too many 3 point shots.

[Zog from Margo]

If there was a top 15 list for them Shaka would be 11th at best likely  lower. I can't imagine how many people would have to turn down the job for someone at UK to bring up Shaka

Wojo for sure.

From Bulls fans everywhere: "Please Kentucky, make Billy Donovan an offer he can't refuse".

Restaurant Quality. Well done!

Oh really? I actually subscribe to that but didn't see that. Discord is sort of hard to keep up with. A lot of noise on there from every which direction.

It's noisy and takes getting used to.  The CBB server is a hoot though, at times like this.

"My top three replacements for Cal at UK:  Tom Crean, Juwan Howard, Kenny Payne. In that order."

Why will that make Reinsdorf sell the team?  He and his partners are the worst owners in all of sports.

Dawn Staley should go coach Kentucky since she already implied she would be fine with coaching men anyway.

Billy's pretty far down the list of the Bulls' problems.
That said, I used to think that Kentucky might be the one job that could lure him back to college - and maybe it is - but some recent comments he made seems to indicate he has zero interest in dealing with NIL, the portal and everything else that goes with the college game today.

Biological men do not belong in women's sports.  Anyone with a brain and a basic understanding of biology would agree. 

I'm a woman who is in pretty good shape but I need to play from the women's tee boxes because the men who are 30 years older than me can still outdrive me. 

XX only.

[avid1010]

Drew makes the most sense.  Hurley will get what he wants at UCONN.  Oates buyout at $18 million isn't beyond reach, but Drew is a rumored $4 million.

This isn't Outkick.

Is there a sports franchise in Chicago that the fans don't blame the coaching or owners (or both)?

Fixed it for you.

Why is this a concern for you on this thread?

New to Scoop? Everyone know buyouts have zero impact on coaches' movement. 

Interesting factoid I did not consider but was mentioned by a coach on XM Radio this morning, Oates buyout would cost UK $18M, plus about $6.5M in taxes to Oates.
