Painter has to be my favorite coach in college basketball. Just a really good coach and seems like a good dude.

Unpopular opinion since it's Purdue, but I'd really like to see him have some success in the tournament this year.
Him, yes. I'd like Edey to be introduced to the concepts of a three second count and being called for a foul or two, though

I've been an Illini fan for over 50 years but I am also a B1G fan. With the exception of Howard and scUM I will root for all.teams as long as they are not playing the beloved. Hope Iowa buries Satan and his team of bought players.

Very few ex NBA players are successful head coaches.

This comment made me curious as to who is the winningest Division I coach with NBA playing experience ... Not like curious enough to thoroughly research, but I think the answer might be Norm Stewart, who apparently played for the St. Louis Hawks for one season.

Looks like John Wooden also had a nice pro career in the NBL (a precursor to the NBA).

The lack of 3s calls is on the refs.

Edey seems fine as a kid, just raw. He did not start playing basketball until HS. He has gotten way better each year at watching out for others. The number of stray elbows, blatant over the backs, and careless arm swings are way down.

I agree that it absolutely is on the refs. Those calls being made is better for the game overall and I'd like to see that happen, period. Learning moments for him to teach him to be more aware and it'll be more equitable for those on the court since the game is being called the way it should be.

The NIL era is made for Rick Pitino. He will kill it at SJU or Gtown. He'd have SJU in the Dance next year and Gtown by year 2. Book it.

Don't see him staying long at either place but he'll get it done.
I bet he would.

I imagine it'll be Alexander taking a head coaching opportunity, but I do worry this could mean Tim Anderson will be looking at a different role somewhere else.
don't think so. Tim himself said his whole life its been Illinois. Unless its a head coaching spot. Tim A stays put

Damon is interesting hire. Very few ex NBA players are successful head coaches. In fact with Juwon imploding at Michigan and Kenny Payne bombing at Louisville I don't know who is left.

He spent 5 years at Pacific but was over .500 one season and never made the NCAAs. He was at Memphis and AZ so he may be well trained for NIL bidding wars.

I doubt he gets the job without his NBA pedigree.

Glamor hire. Analytics would say wrong background and lack of success as HC make him a long shot.
There are a few guys, at Indiana, at Memphis I can think of that are left.. might be it though

I had to look up what the NCAA has decided a three second violation is . . . The "exceptions" essentially dilute the common understanding of what three seconds actually is, at least in my mind. pretty much why it never gets called . . .

The basic NFHS, NCAA, FIFA, NBA and WNBA rules are the same. A player of a team with control in the front court shall not touch or be in the restricted area for more than 3 consecutive seconds. The restricted area is the free throw lane including boundary lines.*

*The WNBA restricted area includes an extension of the free throw lane from the endline to four feet off the court.

An allowance is made to continue a count but suspend a violation ruling when, before 3 seconds, an offensive player starts to attempt to score (including dribbling to the basket). If the move is directly completed, no violation can occur. However, if the move is aborted (e.g. by a pass or fake), no exception applies.

NCAA FIBA and NBA rules also make allowance for a player who, before 3 seconds, attempts to leave the restricted (NCAA and FIBA) or passes and immediately moves out of the lane (NBA).

Woodson at IU doing OK only 2 years 21-14, 22-11. IU has every year top 10 expectations. Still in Bobby's shadow.

Hardaway at Memphis is doing better past 2 years - 22-14 NIT, 21-10 nada, 20-8 NIT, 22-11 NCAA, 26-8 NCAA (American Athletic Conf w Houston Cincinnati, Temple etc). I did not think he was going to survive this long. AAF will be gutted when Houston Cincinnati and UCF move to B12 next year).

Had no idea Wichita St was looking for a new coach. Man that program really fell off the radar. Too late to get back to MVC?
Do teams ever voluntarily go back to a conference that pays them less?
Do conferences ever throw teams out? (Nebraska was, and still is, a mistake IMO.)

Don't see it happening. Holtman is not on hot seat after 1 bad season. He made NCAA 4 straight years including a #2 seed and this is his first miss.

Shaka was avg 18-14 barely making NCAA 3 of 5 seasons (excluding Covid year). Texas has ridiculous expectations despite no history of NCAA success.

He is one of the highest paid coaches in college basketball at a school where he has zero problem getting great recruiting classes. No way Notre Dame pays him what OSU is paying him. He would be crazy to leave and they aren't going to fire him anytime soon. Something really crappy would have to be going on behind the scenes for this to happen IMOH.

You did see this is ND making this alleged move didn't you? Seems like the definition of "really crappy."
