"NIL" is an apt description for what Seton Hall has in that department. It’s just a tough place. Pro arena 20 minutes from campus even if traffic is clear. Been foiled trying to get a decent on-campus practice facility. School leadership dealing with persistent questions about hiring a president who seemed to be aware of misconduct that rocked the diocese a few years back. You really need a strong coach who can get non-elite players to play above their heads against top competition night after night (as opposed to the emotional wave of a tournament run). Sha’s a great story, but probably not the guy.

Texas would be the #1 job of all those openings. Great city, great facilities, big time $$ everywhere you need it. Decent success recently but not great. You can be The Guy there.
Oregon and Indiana would fit behind as well as Tenn and Miami.
Mich St is a great job but I wouldn't want to be the guy that follows Izzo.
The back channels must be scorching hot right now, and will melt steel pretty soon.
Will Wade is sitting in his office, feet up on his desk, ear to ear grin.

If EIU lets Simmons go...are there any concerns that Brad may be looking for another assistant???
Yes … Posted that here many times …
Everything he did at LSU is completely legal now. He must be holding out for the right fit as I'm perplexed somebody hasn't hired him by now.

I know paying players NIL is legal now but do you really want to hire people like Miller and Wade who had no problem doing it every season when it was illegal. Both were caught via FBI wire tap. SEC schools are used to pay for play. Not sure B10 can stomach it although we did just let USC join and we never did anything to Michigan during Harbaugh days so who knows what Indiana will decide. SEC has no problems with paying players nor does Miami.

I'm certain our current coach did it when it was prohibited. Just didn't get caught.I know paying players NIL is legal now but do you really want to hire people like Miller and Wade who had no problem doing it every season when it was illegal. Both were caught via FBI wire tap.

There wouldn't be many college coaches left in the game if everyone was caught.I know paying players NIL is legal now but do you really want to hire people like Miller and Wade who had no problem doing it every season when it was illegal. Both were caught via FBI wire tap.

Then the pool of potential coaches narrows significantly. It is naive to think that only Miller and Wade were doing it, and other big name coaches were clean. Miller and Wade simply got caught.I know paying players NIL is legal now but do you really want to hire people like Miller and Wade who had no problem doing it every season when it was illegal.

The reality is that you hire the coach that you think will be get you to the ultimate goal of a national title.
If Brad were to leave this offseason (and I do not want that to happen), I would not be angered to have Miller for the reason you stated. I think Miller would do fairly well here.

Please show some articles that prove that Brad was paying players. Both Miller and Wade were on FBI wiretaps and got fired.
FBI wiretaps show Sean Miller discussed $100K payment to lock recruit
FBI wiretaps intercepted multiple conversations between Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller and sports agent Christian Dawkins in which Miller discussed a $100,000 payment to ensure star freshman Deandre Ayton signed with the Wildcats, sources told ESPN.
There are schools that can get away with hiring Will Wade without raising the NCAA's hackles.
If you're on this board, you're not a fan of one of those schools.

Well…so was Bill Self. Do we just assume he was a saint the whole time he was here? Just Sayin….I know paying players NIL is legal now but do you really want to hire people like Miller and Wade who had no problem doing it every season when it was illegal. Both were caught via FBI wire tap.

Also, do you think it’s beyond the realm of possibility that Brad Underwood might have occasionally operated in the “grey area” (shall we say) himself pre-NIL?
I mean, I don’t wanna get all triagonal conspiracy theory on ya here…but I mean come on…you barely even have to connect any dots…who was the other school in that probe?
But it’s all ancient history now. It doesn’t matter anymore. Somebody like Beard…with that kind of baggage. That’s a different story. It’s too damn bad too…because I think he might be top 2 or 3 in college basketball right now.

No it's not. People just don't do it anymore because NIL has made it obsolete, but if someone were to do it for some dumb reason they'd get hammered by the NCAA.
If you don't want to count it against him I completely understand, and I don't really care about it either, but what Wade did is not the same as NIL, and saying it is now legal is just false.

For the millionth time ... They found NO VIOLATIONS on Sean ...
Also - if you think no one in the Big Ten was paying players before NIL ... LOL
Well ...
Evans is third coach to plead guilty to bribery
Former South Carolina and Oklahoma State assistant Lamont Evans has pleaded guilty, admitting to accepting $22,000 in bribes to steer players toward certain financial advisers and managers once they turned pro.
Brad ??? No ... He would never operate in the grey ...
Record for Indy posts in a day 
It's all really simple for Coach Underwood, don't lose another game the rest of the year. A statue will be erected and all the coaching change talk will stop for at least one season. To most he will be the Coach forever, if he can only win out or at least end on a six game winning streak. Even a blind nut finds a squirrel, sooner or later it has to be our turn. When you least expect it,,,,like this year. Been believing since the 1970s

NCAA Tournament success and fan support (or apathy) are also factors.
