That's not really accurate.

Of course it is. Don't be dumb.

Well, they had some umm...unusual benes, but maybe those ended when Slick Rick left.

Honest question,  when was the last time a coach was fired after a single season without off the court issues? Has it ever happened?

Ray Rhodes........

Ray Rhodes........

Okay guys, I know I just said "coach" but I think it's pretty obvious that I was I talking about college basketball coaches. Y'all keep giving me football and baseball coaches.

Head coaches have the power, not to mention a ton of money. Head coaches are the ones who talk endlessly about putting team and loyalty above all else.

All 340 D1 head coaches?

Surprised Beard re-signed.

The hyphen makes all the difference.  I read it quickly and thought he resigned, but instead he re-signed.

I don't get your fixation on college players needing freedom to change teams.

For the vast majority of HS players, they can't change teams unless their parents sell their house and move--by and large they're locked into the same public school regardless of any coaching changes.  And I know this isn't universal--some jurisdictions you can transfer to a private school and be eligible right away.  But the point is most kids aren't in private schools and can't easily transfer schools.

In the pros, players are committed to a team based on contract--a coach leaves or is fired, the player doesn't have a right to change teams. 

Why is it that *college* players should uniquely deserve mobility that neither HS nor pros enjoy?

And I think the downsides are worse for the sport than the upsides.

The most obvious one is that it shifts the balance of power in favor of the high-major teams.  With the one-year transfer rule, it was the biggest thing stopping wholesale poaching of players from lower levels.  I don't know if guys like Ed Croswell or Tristan Newton or Tyler Kolek would have stayed with LaSalle, East Carolina or GMU respectively--but removing the transfer rule eliminates a huge consideration.

LOL

I'm quite happy with our democratic republic but I take no credit for creating it, I just live in it.

Sounds like sheep

[Newsdreams]

Go back and read 82's posts. His vitriol is aimed at college coaches because they are hypocritical about loyalty.

Duh, they are

Good comedy

It appears Travis Ford is done in St. Louis.

[Herman Cain]

It appears Travis Ford is done in St. Louis.

Indiana State Coach rumored by Mr Borzello to be leading candidate to replace Ford. Wonder if he would bring Robbie Avila with him?

Indiana Stare Coach

Sounds creepy.

And he can probably do better.

[Uncle Rico]

This is the job I'm really worried Shaka takes

[tower912]

The program MU should aspire to emulate.

[Tyler COLEk]

St. Louis is a better job than MU and if we're being realistic that's not changing anytime soon.
