They're weird that way. I'm surprised Damon Bailey's name is not on that list...

Boom. Called it.

Chris Mack at IU would be scary. Mack is a phenomenal coach, especially come March. Give him the resources and fertile recruiting ground of IU and watch out. Little history on Mack: 8 Seasons, 7 Tournaments, 7-20 Win seasons, 4 Sweet-16s.
Obviously, he has yet to get over that S16 hump, but my gosh would I be nervous if Mack went to IU. But granted, Xavier is his alma mater.

"Consider that, going into the final weeks of the season, all but two of the 14 Big Ten teams were still in the mix for the NCAA tournament. That included an Illinois team considered so woeful it had already fired its coach!"
So wrap up this NIT thing, guys, win it and never go back. NCAA Tourney from now on out.

I just had a crazy thought. How nuts would it be if Indiana hired Frank Martin?
I'm actually rooting for this to happen now, though I don't think it's possible whatsoever.
I think if he wants it, it is his.

The fact that we aren't hearing anything about Gregg or Archie leads me to believe it's either Alford, another coach in the tourney, or an NBA guy.

I thought IU was done with coaches that abuse players?

Seems like an overreaction. Martin is nuts but that's hardly abuse.
Alford is not a good coach. If they brought in someone like Gregg Marshall though, they'll be competing for titles every year.
It wouldn't surprise me if he made the jump to a basketball centric place. UT, Austin, and Texas as a whole is not that place. That said, he can get havoc athletes in Texas. I don't know if he can get those guys at Indiana if he doesn't bat .1000 with in-state recruiting.
Cal fans, we've been there. Hugs.

Wow, I guess Cal athletic department must be a super unappealing place to go right now. I wonder what he's waiting around for?
Nevada should be awesome next year with the talent they have coming in. Would make him the pick of the litter for next year's jobs most likely.
Plus, not sure the academic requirements at Cal are his cup of tea.

If this happens and Marshall is as content at Wichita as has been reported, he'll probably never leave.

It is, they have serious financial problems.
