So, the coach plays in the game and the players crappy play is to be ignored? Better players are incapable of losing unless the coach sucks? Oh, OK.

New booster? Or is 'proving it' loosening up some existing purse strings
I’m curious too. But glad to hear some indication in this direction. I was concerned it might be the opposite if boosters were frustrated with some of the lows this year.

It's not at all a lock that Sean leaves Xavier even if he is offered the Texas job ...

CDC has his sights set on two other coaches ... He wants to make a BIG SPLASH ... He is having conversations with both of those coaches/their people today ...
Self and... Brad Stevens. 🤣

Agree ... Even if he is a preferred candidate at Texas, doesn't mean Texas is a preferred destination for him ...

However - smart for Brad to have people flirt with Texas ... Then just go out and win again and again ... Illinois pays you more, and you get more NIL ...

Everyone wins ...
Out of curiosity...

Texas obviously could pay a coach a fair bit more than we could if they wanted to do so, but what about basketball NIL? Do Texas boosters care enough about basketball that they are a top dog in basketball-specific NIL or could we essentially "outbid" them there, being a basketball school?

Why would BU leave? He's making top 10 money for coaches and, from what I read on here, a fan base who considers the season a success because they made the tourney and won a game. With that $ and expectations a coach would be an absolute fool to leave. Myself, I don't care if he stays or goes. We aren't a blue blood by any stretch but if we are actually paying that much to a coach then a 2nd weekend season should be a reasonable expectation. I don't give 2 💩 about conference wins and championships as a criteria. I more care about wins in the tournament. Conference stuff would seem to take care of itself with tournament success. JMO and truly don't care if you agree or not.
He is the 14th highest paid coach, not top 10. Only makes $50k more that Fred Hoiberg for gosh sakes. How much of BU's salary is coming out of your pocket? You do know that conference wins are a requirement to make the tourney right?
