I figure scUM "parting ways" with Juwann could be one of the first dominos to fall this week

@Indy Illini Fan would we hire Yaklich and demote / push out Geoff Alexander?
We wouldn’t demote/pushout Geoff.
John Beilein gave alot of credit to Yaklich and his defense while at Michigan. If something were to open up I would hope Luke would get some consideration.
Gray improved on his win total in each of his 3 seasons leading the Catamounts. Went from 11 to 18 to 22 wins this season with the school finishing in 4th in the SoCon the last two seasons. Last season Western Carolina played in the CBI, losing in the first round to Charlotte.
Hearing from multiple people ...
...
His family may hate Oklahoma, but I have a feeling his career is going to hate DePaul. Seems like a really stupid move.
That'd be a home run hire.
Big win for DePaul.

Are you coaching changes?! Lol
Is it? Moser was mediocre at Arkansas Little Rock, mediocre at Illinois State, got a unicorn at Loyola and won big, and has been mediocre at Oklahoma.
I don't think being mediocre at DePaul gets you much more than 15 wins, because they are so far behind the rest of their conference.
Even if a certain Kentucky assistant became available
Yes. We won’t force anyone out for anyone. But if Geoff or Chester get a head job that’s another story.
You're a funny guy. Not funny like a clown. Just how you tell story.
Is Geoff looked at more fondly by the broader coaching profession than he is by IL fans?
He doesn't seem to get much credit here
Moser would be taking 50% paycut. Tough to win at DePaul unless they leave the Big East.
They will pay him more than the previous coach
He’s an assistant coach for a well respected head coach for a top 15 program. Plus his dad is one of the most well respected high school coaches in the state. Geoff is well liked in the state. He’d get looked at for a lot of in state jobs
Porter has family money which makes it much easier to choose location over salary.
Even if OA becomes available? Or Boynton?
Nope ... Lol ...
I just talk to quite a few agents and people in CBB ... Word gets around pretty quick ...
That is FIVE TIMES the about of wins that they'll have this year. That would be incredible jump, as you noted....in an elite conference. That would probably put them in a Seton Hall/St. John's scenario. He also knows the area from a recruiting standpoint.
They'd have some mediocre years with a sprinkling of the unicorn tournament years(either NIT or NCAA).
With winning will bring more fans, more fans bring more revenue and with more revenue brings the ability to spend at least a LITTLE NIL money.
It's a decent name taking over a pretty much dead program. That would absolutely be a home run hire.
