Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

[Big Jack]

Slightly off topic, but it really annoys me that no one has taken a charge this year either. The ultimate winners put their bodies on the line to win games.... Trent and Damonte took tons of charges

SOFT!

agree
if what her initial report said was true , he did a real bad thing , but it’s not like he needs a lifetime ban .

I get it that some schools want to stay away from him , but I also get it that some schools will give him another chance .

people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Thats all I got to say about that .

Agree with you there. We don't know what truly happened/didn't happen but if the allegations were true, I can see why an AD would have a hard moral/ethical dilemma for allowing a coach who may have done that to be responsible for student athletes and helping them grow/mature/become men

Would Tucker's NIL have been a factor in DD's negotiations? Curious how that all shook out

I got a few scoops to add …

Will Wade to NC State … I’m told deal is done …

Ryan Odom to UVA … I’m told deal is done … Posted that on here a while ago but just confirming …

Ben McCollum to Iowa … Working through details but deal is close from what I’m told …

Porter Moser to Nova … I’m told it’s being finalized …

Medved to Minnesota … That deals been done for a while and I’ve already posted on here a while ago but just confirming …

WVU list remains as Mack, Cronin, Calhoun, C Fraz … McCollum has said no …

For Oklahoma … I’ve heard Hodgson is a name … …

well they've changed the rules, you can't just park under the hoop and take charges like you used to be able to

I hate Iowa and Indiana both, but it would be absolutely hilarious if McCollum is more successful at Iowa than Devries is at IU

They changed the criteria two years ago and call less charges. TSJ benefitted greatly last year.

@Indy Illini Fan any truth to the rumors on X that Tucker DeVries milked his shoulder injury for another year of eligibility and this deal has nearly finalized for a minute now?

 

[splitter]

For a couple hundred grand, I could get at least the same results. Sign me up for the job!

I'll do it for just a hundred grand, coaching rings around the empty chair. 90% + of us could do as well and many do much better.

As @nmillini said…rule changes made it incredibly hard to have a charge called. Has to be blatant. With that being said…I can think of multiple charges called on us this year

would be hilarious to see ol' Roy coaching basketball!

yes, i know this is actually referring to Bryan Hodgson (no relation)

All the charges I remember (both ways) are guys driving and pushing off with their other arm.

He was the coach at UMBC the year they upset Virginia in a 16-1 game (first time ever).

Will Wade and Chris Beard staying out of the Big Ten...

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Just saw Ed DeChellis retiring after 29 years. Got Penn State to the tournament in his last year there, went off to Navy and brought them a measure of success in the Patriot League.

Honestly it was awful basketball to see players get rewarded for sliding under a player in the air.

We've got Kylan and Morez who go hard on D all the time. Everyone else seems like they want to be more about finesse.

Porter Moser to Nova … I’m told it’s being finalized …

I figured he was looking to get out of Norman, as it's never seemed like a great fit for him there. Is his interest in Villanova stemming from being a private, parochial school like Loyola but in a bigger conference?

 

[Battle89]

Healthy organizations celebrate and try to codify values in addition to results. I think the boss at your hypothetical company would point out the long-tenured employee was a beloved guy who did lots of things that were positive and hard to quantify, and you are not.

 

[altgeld88]

Look no further than Norman Dale.

The concepts of public forgiveness and redemption seem to have slowly leaked out of our culture over the past couple decades.

 

[gary?]

sorry, anyone who beats the crap out of a woman can rot. he was a grown man. what's really leaked out of the culture is people being held accountable.

 

[Battle89]

I call that AFFIRMATION. (thank you)

I'll be honest, at first glance I thought you were overly ambitious. But the more I look at it the more reasonable it seems.
