It's just semi-ick to live there full-time. The further south you go, though, the worse it gets: Deming, Lordsburg, Silver City--MAJOR ick.

I think you mean west. Las Cruces is about 25 miles north of the border with Mexico.

[az91]

Las Cruces, yuk. NMST is probably the class of the WAC and they have a FF in the 70's so it's not the worst job, just the worst city LOL

Totally disagree. Las Cruces is a great college town. I would not be surprised if Joe takes the job.

[ASUHATER!]

Been in Las Cruces once...and yikes...

Fixed, thank you. They all just blend together in the southern part of the state in the map in my head.

LOL - Kevin Ollie trying to float his name into the bloated ring of candidates for the Lakers job.

I dont see Archie at UCLA

[Chicat]

Me neither. The Millers don't want to face each other yearly, plus it would clearly be a step down in community and fan support from what he has now at Dayton.

[CalStateTempe]

Well then I hope its Archie to NC State.

[azcat49]

I wonder if he would even go to NCST. I think he is destined for a better job like Ohio St

[CalStateTempe]

Is this still a bears thread?

Was there ever a Bears thread?

Or am I thinking of TOS.


Anyways from the Washington post today, it appears that polar bears and grizzly bears are mating due to climate change.

The end is near.

Larry Brown has stepped down as the coach of SMU. His top assistant will take over.

Larry Brown is a lunatic. Wanted a 5 year deal at the age of 76 with an academic scandal hanging over the program. When offered 3 years, he quit.

A lunatic with the tone deafness to match. He fussily decides to make a public scene and step down from SMU on the worst morning the Dallas area has had since the JFK assassination.

Brown is despicable. I hope that cheater never coaches again.

Eight coaches under the most pressure to win this season

Steve Alford, UCLA

Why the pressure is on: Whereas Alford’s first two UCLA teams peaked in March and reached the Sweet 16, his third season in Westwood ended in disaster. The Bruins dropped eight of their last 10 games and plummeted to 15-17 overall, a performance so bad that empty seats abounded at Pauley Pavilion and fans flew planes over campus towing banners calling for Alford’s firing. Alford subsequently wrote a letter apologizing for the poor season and pledging to return a previous one-year contract extension, but that gesture alone won’t assuage a fan base that continues to view the fourth-year coach with a skeptical eye. The only way he can win over UCLA fans is to restore the program to its former status as a perennial contender for conference titles and Final Fours, a goal that isn’t entirely far-fetched given the half dozen elite recruits Alford has landed in the 2016 and 2017 classes. UCLA gave Alford a ridiculously coach-friendly contract that initially included a $10.4 million buyout, but that figure drops to $5.2 million after April 30, 2017 and $2.6 million after April 30, 2018. The more reasonable that number gets, the more pressure there is on Alford to either prove he’s the right coach for the job or to find a soft landing spot at another program.

Lorenzo Romar, Washington

Why the pressure is on: While Romar led Washington to two Pac-12 titles, three Sweet 16s and six NCAA bids from 2004-2012, he has not met that standard in recent years. The Huskies have missed the past five NCAA tournaments and have finished .500 or worse in league play each of the past four seasons. Romar’s ability to recruit and develop NBA talent has become a double-edged sword as his supporters point to the strong classes he has lined up and his detractors note that future pros haven’t always translated into successful seasons. NBA draft picks Terrence Ross, Tony Wroten. C.J. Wilcox, Dejounte Murray and Marquese Chriss have each played for Washington during this five-year stretch without an NCAA bid. Washington doesn’t return a single player who averaged more than 7.5 points last season, yet there’s reason for optimism because — you guessed it — some heralded prospects are on the way. Incoming point guard Markelle Fultz is a contender to be selected No. 1 in next June’s draft and 2017 commit Michael Porter is one of the top two or three players in the class. Romar needs to ride one of those one-and-dones to an NCAA bid to quiet the calls for a change in leadership.

Damon takes the UOP offer.

Wish him luck. Stockton is a cesspool. It didn't take much effort for me to talk my daughter in not applying to go to UOP next year. Crime rate is out of this world. Gang-shootings going on all the time. Foreclosure capital of the central valley. Mayor being prosecuted for underage sex, police department in shambles....I could go on and on.

[Merkin]

I agree, Stockton is awful. Bet he commutes from the Bay Area.

Indiana has to can Crean, right?

[enfuego]

Indiana has to can Crean, right?

Who do they get to replace him? What to me is a shocker is that Romar is still at Washington.

[Zero]

Archie Miller?

Rumors Romar may be headed to Mizzu

[ASUHATER!]

Indiana has to can Crean, right?

Let's see, almost 9 years in he's 163-130 and 69-88 in big 10 games. Never been past the sweet 16 but has 2 big 10 titles in the last 5 years. Outside of the couple sweet 16/ big 10 title years it's been a mess. Only 3 seasons of more than 20 wins.

[ASUCatFan]

It's looking more and more like the Shay Binion hype machine needs to get rolling again at NC State.

[Zero]

Archie NC State. Makes too much sense

[ASUHATER!]

Archie.

yup already heard those rumors being tossed around. unless he wants to wait for something even bigger, i think that nc state is a near lock for him.
