You might be right. I was surprised they didn't fire him for cause earlier when they had the opening. Not sure where the support is coming from given the downward trajectory. I know he's been pretty good recruiting, but that's trailed off as well.

There will likely be some transition on staff no matter what happens ...
Now - If Antigua or Mike is available ... Brad will need an open recruiting assistant spot ... He'll make room ... If ya catch my drift ...
I think Thad would take the call ... Don't know if Ohio State would make it ...
Door 1: “Promote” Geoff to a non-recruiting role so he can focus on game planning and better prepare himself for being a head coach
Door 2: try to find him a landing spot on somebody else’s staff or lower tier college head coaching job
Door 3:

Glanced at OA’s bio on the UK men’s bball website. This snippet was like a shot of serotonin.
And Antigua?
fwiw Mark Titus just said on his podcast that there's a 0% Thad would go back to OSU, he doesn't think he would ever leave Butler.

I would do it.
Assistant to the Head Coach
Hmmmmm, there are two relatively new guys on the staff. I can see moving on from one and not the son of the HC.
Man that's some firepower

He just gets it.
Does Cronin still want out of UCLA?
Even if he does, his buyout is currently $20 million and only goes down to $16 million on April 1. Even with how deep Ohio State's pockets are, I can't imagine them paying that plus whatever they have left to pay Holtmann.
If Mcdermott took OSU, Porter Moser would be in heaven at Creighton
I have a friend who is very connected to Michigan basketball & he says it's pretty much a done deal that Juwan is leaving Michigan at the end of the season to go to the NBA as an assistant.
Tyler - we hardly knew you.
Why did Antigua leave here again?
About a $500k raise and the chance to work with/under Calipari again
So why come back?

I refuse to believe Juwan has a heart. Or a brain. Or courage for that matter. Really, he's a one man performance of the Wizard of Oz
I know what you're sayin', but "college" FB and BB are in crazy world now. I could totally imagine tOSU spending $XXmillion on a new coach. In fact, it's not that hard for me to imagine pretty much any big school nowadays spending $XX million on just about anything. I mean, $20M for OSU basketball is sorta, kinda like $76M for Texas A&M football?
And, honest question, who are they/them in cases like this? We talk about how deep OSU's pockets are, but doesn't that just mean there are some filthy wealthy alums who can sell one of their Gulfstreams to buy the next hoops-God coach?

Virginia Tech is the obvious answer here, right? year 5 of their current HC, doesn’t seem to be trending in the right direction
