I wonder if Chicago native and Cleveland State Vikings head coach, Dennis Gates, will be in the mix for jobs like Maryland and Missouri. He's young, is doing big things at Cleveland State, and having assisted at places like Cal, Northern Illinois, Nevada, and Florida State, you could imagine he has recruiting connections in bball hotspots across the country. If he doesn't move schools this offseason, I wonder if he is the planned successor to 73 year old Leonard Hamilton at Florida State.

He should be. I thought he would have been a great hire by Boston College last year — especially with his wife also working at BC. I wouldn’t be surprised if MD is looking for higher profile coach, but I think he be a great hire by eccckkkkk ecccckkkk gag gag Missouri

Please keep Hoiberg at Neb, Martin at Mizzou and Howard at Michigan.

Also make Manning at MD permanent.

Incompetent coaches at competitors help the Illini

We’re not a bad program anymore.

Bring in the best coaches and let’s go out and beat them too. A strong conference is in our best interest for tourney preparedness. We are back to being a perennial tournament team and need to think about being tested vs different types of good teams so we can be ready to make deep runs.

Tipsheet: College basketball coaching carousel will spin as postseason unfolds

College basketball's postseason tournament season is here, which means the silly season of coaching changes will soon follow.

The postseason college basketball tournaments are underway at the mid-major level. Major college tourneys will unfold next week.
One by one, teams will shut down for the season after suffering elimination. And the college coaching carousel will start whirling.
Georgia seems certain to fire Tom Crean and the Southeastern Conference could see lots of change, with speculation swirling around Cuonzo Martin at Missouri, Kermit Davis at Ole Miss, Frank Martin at South Carolina and Ben Howland at Mississippi State as well.
Maryland and Louisville have the big openings right now. Iona coach Rick Pitino shot down suggestions that the Terrapins are calling for him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crean is talked like already being dead man walking , and the Rev ( Roger Powell jr ) is mentioned as a possible choice somewhere....

good read


edit:......I didn't knopw that nebraska has NEVER won an NCAA game .......Never ever......wow

I just stumbled upon this looking into WBB head coaches. Brad Underwood to Louisville? 🧐🙃

With the enormous caveat of "you never know what's important to someone else", it's hard to look at the way BU and JW interact and think that Brad is looking around. He makes good bank, I'm confident that JW would come up big to keep him, and with that said, I would bet that BU understands that in one very important aspect of his job - namely how he gets along with his boss, he's very fortunate here at Illinois. The grass isn't always greener, even if the money is....

I have to imagine Brad is going get a call for most major jobs that open up. That's what happens when you've what he's done. But it seems like he's got no reason to leave. It's everything we've ever wanted. To have the guy everyone else wants, with very little worry that he'll actually leave.

Yes, totally…maybe we should find a way to sweeten the pot even more to be sure. LoL…Do Not…wanna lose him.
Even the thought of him leaving makes me nauseous. That’s how the Okie’s In Stillwater must have felt I suppose.

I was actually thinking yesterday I couldn’t remember if he signed an extension and was wondering if it’s time for him to get a raise yet.

Isn't Underwood's buyout pretty significant? I may be naive, but the Illinois job has to be more prestigious than Louisville. It's in the Big Ten and does Underwood want to start another rebuilding job at his age? He has built a good foundation at Illinois and recruiting should be easier if he keeps winning.

With their futures in doubt, Georgia, Mizzou stumble into regular-season finale

Tom Crean's days at UGA could be numbered as the SEC's last-place Bulldogs have gone 6-24 heading into Saturday's game at Mizzou.
www.stltoday.com www.stltoday.com

COLUMBIA, Mo. — As Missouri’s basketball season nears its finish line and uncertainty swirls around the program’s future, there’s one consolation for sullen Tiger fans: It’s not Georgia bad.
Mizzou (10-20, 4-13 Southeastern Conference) concludes the regular season Saturday at Mizzou Arena with a visit from last-place Georgia (6-24, 1-16), a program that’s absorbed more roster turnover and injuries but like MU could be headed for a coaching change soon after the season’s final buzzer sounds.
After Tom Crean’s first winning season in Athens last year, the transfer portal gutted his roster, funneling his best players to some of the best programs in the SEC and beyond. Georgia added 10 newcomers, including seven transfers, but the Bulldogs have lost several key players in recent months — they don’t have a natural power forward after season-ending injuries to P.J. Horne and Jailyn Ingram — and Crean’s reinforcements haven’t patched enough holes.

As for coach Cuonzo Martin, Mizzou officials have avoided issuing any public vote of confidence that he’ll return for a sixth season in 2022-23. There are influential boosters in separate camps whether he should return next year, multiple sources close to the situation have told the Post-Dispatch. Martin has two years left on his contract and a $6 million buyout should the school fire him after this season.

A year ago this time, since-departed athletics director Jim Sterk was talking about a contract extension for Martin. Now, uncertainty simmers.

I'm thinking Kansas (Self) is the one big job that BU would consider down the road. I agree he's otherwise extremely content right now. We just have to continually ensure he's paid as a Top 3 coach in the conference.

So I decided to quickly check a Fanbuzz list of the the Top 25 highest paid coaches in the NCAA. BU is 11th nationally (and 3rd in the BigTen behind Izzo-#6 and Hoiberg-#9). Self is listed at #13. I believe they were using base salary only. BU's $4M looks to be extremely competitive.

Interestingly, cellar-dwellers Crean and Quonzo were also on the Top 25 list. Jay Wright, Coach K and Calipari were deservedly at the top.......at $6M, $7M and $8M, respectively.

I don’t follow much SEC, but the coach in me knows that if you have major injuries to your best players you’re going to struggle.

SEC schools have money to burn, so maybe Crean will be gone, but coming off a winning season last year, a season ruined by injuries seems hard to evaluate, unless there’s off the court stuff.
