Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

[jamarvelous31]

Supposedly firing him for cause based on his rant? Seems weak given the coaching rants over the years...

No way that “cause” will hold up. Bush league attempt by an AD to cover up his own mistake by giving Tang that ridiculous contract.

Who wants to go play for AD that would try this?

Of course this assumes the early reports are right.

Only makes sense to me as a negotiating ploy for the buy out..

If I were K State my first call would be Josh Schertz.

He can and will do better …

And what does that say to future candidates ? Hold guys accountable and we’re firing you for cause ??

And these K State fans say they can get Brad … Yeah I’m sure Brad is signing up for that … GMAFB …

How far that place has fallen …

Huggins, Martin … And THIS is what gets a guy canned for cause ?? Lol …

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Schertz will have better options. Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Boston College, Arizona State., etc.

He’ll have better options than every school on that list …

A weak one. If I was Tang I’d be telling them I’ll see you in court.

Just remember Brad has a clause in his contract that unless certain criteria is met he can't leave to be a HC at any other NCAA school. Now is "If the K-State job opens up" is one of those criteria who knows. I'd wager it isn't and he isn't looking to take that job.

stupid to go for cause if it's just because they stink.

Apparently his contract has language that references any activity that brings "public disrepute, embarrassment, ridicule" to the school.

Tyler needs to find a spot, maybe after next season, where the previous coach left a solid program to move up.
He arrives, wins early, and adds some things he's learned at Illinois, and builds his HC chops.
Then Brad retires after 28-29 season, and Tyler comes back to win our fifth consecutive National Championship in 29-30.

LOL....Like I have always said and believed, if you can dream it, you can achieve it!!

It won’t hold up in court. They should be embarrassed to even try this.

I agree, but K State would be crazy not to call.

Brad isn’t leaving … Brad is retiring at Illinois …

[Second place is 1st loser]

Man, it will be nice to have an off-season without this stuff. Well done Josh.

I wouldn’t even call it a rant… more like an honest take from a frustrated coach. I suspect the university will lose this lawsuit.

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

No! I don’t want him leaving SLU. It’s nice having 2 fun basketball teams to watch.

 

[jumpingjack]

I dm'd Jennifer Aniston after the divorce too.

 

[Illini IndyCar Fan]

Just 3 years ago he was the biggest coaching darling.

His “leader of men” shtick aged about as fast as spoiled milk.

Unfortunately the lawsuit is the point though...it's time and money Tang will have to spend that the school can point to to try and pay less.

Kansas State could do worse than following their previous model and taking a long look at John Groce.

I can give you about 19 million reasons why this is happening…….(but I clearly know you already know it )

As someone surrounded by UCLA fans, I can assure you they’d be open to a Cronin move as well.

I’m just surprised there are enough UCLA fans to surround anything of anyone.

Seriously though, his act has to get old real quick for fans. The only good thing about the collapse of the Pac 12 was that Bobby Hurley and Cronin were no longer in the same conference. That was too much to handle.
