Wow.

AD is either full of himself or covering his a$$ from the backlash or both.

Yes AD is a douche. Other than being known as early stops for Jerry tarkanian and lute Olsen, lbsu bball ain’t much. Monson always scheduled brutal non conference opponents, which made them interesting to follow. Genuinely seems like a good guy, very personable too and had as much success as can possibly be expected there. Who does this ad think he’ll get that’s better? Not like they’re in the running to lure anyone.
Sigh, typical California state university public employee….

Long long shot… go for Tom crean, Jim harbaughs brother in law so the families can be close to each other.

I don't know about John Groce, but I wouldn't be thrilled if I were Louisville. With Groce, what annoyed me was he had never finished better than 3rd in the MAC. The beauty of the NCAA tournament is anything can happen. Making the Sweet 16 didn't make him magically a great coach.

With Dusty May, I don't really know. He took over a program that was mediocre for at least a decade. However, he was also mediocre for the first 4 seasons. Then he got this group together and they won a lot of games and made him a lot of money. So can he get that type of talent advantage at Louisville? maybe. The ACC isn't the power conference it once was, but there are still some legit teams to pass up if you ever want any hardware.

My expectation is May will be good, not great. He's not going to threaten UNC or Duke, but he'll probably get them in the top 5.

Guess he will see if it was his stellar coaching job the past 2 seasons or was he lucky like Groce was to have a couple of very good players

If Schertz leaves Indiana State, would Geoff get any consideration as his replacement?

Basically, Louisville is essentially like Illinois right now. Hiring May was like when Illinois hired Self in 2000 in a best case scenario where Self was the recognized mid-major “golden child”. May might very well be a big success at Louisville, but it’s not like Louisville poached a top power conference coach or someone like Billy Donovan with oodles of past college success and a NBA pedigree.

Don’t know. I wasn’t that impressed by May’s tournament coaching.

If Holtmann gets back to what he did at Butler and early years at OSU, he's going to be a great hire for Depaul. He needs to build around toughness and defense. To me, guys like Sensabaugh are what got Holtmann in trouble, all offense and no defense..
