Welcome Geoff! A terrific fit for this program. I went to school where his dad Neil is the high school coach in Lincoln. Great basketball minds. Geoff was taught well under Neil and other coaches through the ranks and then coach Underwood at Western. Can't wait for this season!

Someone on OSU Wikipedia page put Doug Gottlieb as head coach 😅😅

Don't know if this has already been asked but will he coach in the NIT game Monday night

Totally agree! It's a win win. You get Bryce Drew and you get Roger Powell to help recruit. You can't go wrong with that

Oh we can match them. You are wrong

I picked Wilmington over Virginia in my bracket. Keatts over Bennett

I've been on the Bryce Drew train since the day we let JG go. Bryce or bust! Go get him JW!!!

So what if Bennett turns us down? Where do we go next Keatts?

Fair enough but he's definitely not the worst college coach out there. I can think of far worse

Two final four appearances and a runner up with over 400 career wins and he's one of the worst college coaches??:hand:

: Multiple final four appearances and great recruiting classes.....

What's everyone think about Ben Howland? I don't think it would take a pirates loot to get him here plus I think he would choose Illinois over staying at Miss St. Got a proven track record at UCLA and the guy can flat out recruit. Just look at this year's and next year's recruiting class at Miss...

Or whoever gets bounced first. I say by Sunday night we'll have a new coach. I did however apply for the job on the University website. JW I'm your homerun hire!!!

I think Archie is NC State bound. Gut feeling I think crean gets another year at Indiana. Keatts or Bennett ball is in their court I think

Is it going to be a whoever gets bounced out in the first round we throw money at? Need to move quickly
