Now he is saying that Dixon is quitting tcu to go to UCLA, and that Cal is interested in going to tcu. Wow. Oh, now has 15 followers.

Oops, most recent stuff says the muss buss might be heading to tcu.

Sec basketball supplanting pac12

Supplanting? SEC has been ahead of the Pac for a while. The Pac is seemingly getting NCAA bids these days "for old time's sake." Who besides UW really deserved to be in the tourney this year? Oregon went 10-8 (13 reg season losses) in a terrible Pac, and ASU was 23-11 overall. In better times for our league, these numbers wouldn't be so bad. But the Pac was embarrassing this year.

The ACC, SEC, and Big 10 are the top 3 right now. Big 12 is probably next. The WCC is arguably as good as the Pac at the moment. The Mountain West is not too far off from the Pac either.

Musselman possibly going to Arkansas is just a sign of the times.

No, no, no. You'll make RG2 cry. Bad boys get spanked.

Chris Mullin stepping down at St. John’s.

Bobby Hurley chomping at the bit to take the job and leave ASSU high and dry.

Hurley at St Johns is a pretty good fit

"Goodman and Rothstein reporting same thing.
I don't think it's a good move for CBH .. BUT he may make this move to be closer to home."

I will actually be sad if Hurley leaves ASU. He is perfect there. Who else could they get that has such a punchable face?

Barnes apparently staying at UT

Sun Devils should call Pitino. Can’t you major in boning strangers in bathrooms at ASSU? Perfect fit...

azcat49 wrote:Hurley at St Johns is a pretty good fit

He’s a good fit and the timing for him will never be better. St.Johns is clearly a better and more prestigious program. He has nothing coming into his current program. If St. Johns really wants him, it is hard to imagine he turns it down unless his family prefers to stay out west.

Will make next years game against St. John’s as epic!

Ignore that noise you just heard. It's just ASU basketball hitting rock bottom (again).

Pretty good landing spot for him. Could do well there.

Fixed it for you.

I know we don't like Hansen around here but he had a piece today about coaching hires. When was the last time a final four coach was hired away from a program?

Greg Marshall has a lot of baggage. Who was the George Mason coach? Georgia hired Harrick

Larrañaga

Hansen missed Roy Williams LOL.


He wouldn't count Harrick on his list because he got fired.

The pot shots at UCLA are getting old. That coaching search was humiliating like none other I've seen for a while. If that didn't make it abundantly clear that UCLA is a former elite program, not a current one, I'm not sure what will.

In spite of all that, they made a decent hire, and everyone in Westwood seems happy. Now the hard part begins.

True, but Georgia didn't hire him after he was fired from UCLA

4th ranked JUCO prospect Eric Parrish requested release from NLI from Nevada. Alford doing work already in Reno.

Nevada gave Alford a 10 year deal. UNM did also then a couple days later bolted for UCLA.

10 years? What is Nevada's expectations for its program? Indefinite mediocrity?

Just 10 years worth.

Makes the UCLA search look like it was a smooth running machine.

I bet Hurley still wants out.

Big miss for STJs. Despite my brain interpreting Cluess' name as Clueless, he was a great fit given his consistent winning history, deep recruiting ties to NYC area high school basketball, and getting the most out of his talent. All along the big holdup was the buyout; 2.5 mil was owed to Iona if Cluess was pried away.

Chicat wrote:I bet Hurley still wants out.

Agree. Hurley has built up some capital the last two years. Next year the program is gonna take a step back unless the get some impactful transfers. St. John’s needs to sweeten the offer.

Chicat wrote:I bet Hurley still wants out.

Ideally he probably does. He has to know the program’s limitations, and the step back it is about to take. But he appears to be holding out for something better than St. Johns, possibly because his brother has one of the best head coaching gigs in the country. His family also might be happy and adjusted in the Phoenix area, which could be another reason he is holding out — meaning he will only uproot them for something grander. Still, it is a gamble because if asu returns to mediocrity, his stock will drop. St. Johns is the better program, so his rejection of the job remains curious.

St. John's plays ASU this fall in the Hall of Fame Classic. Awwwkkwaardd....

Beard getting paid!!!

John Beilein to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Michigan fans must be so bummed. Not many coaches have been better over the past decade. That’s a fantastic job that just opened up.

Wow, was this expected? Seems out of nowhere but I don't really follow cbb except for Arizona

Beilein flirted with the Pistons job last year, so it seems he's had his ears open to pitches from NBA GMs lately.

It's not surprising. Beilein has been killing it at UM and is now going to get paid like he never has before. Good for him.

Not sure who Michigan turns to. Maybe promote a long-time assistant, try to keep that Beilein mojo going. I'd be a little surprised if they can snag a big name coach already employed somewhere else.

I wonder if Gregg Marshall is at the top of Michigan's list.

I'm hearing they're gonna go after Bennett.

Along with speculating who Michigan targets for Beilein's replacement, anyone mind guessing why Beilein left in the first place?

Is it as simple as doing what Izzo wouldn't do ten or so years ago and take up Dan Gilbert's offer for higher profile NBA work?
