I keep reading Jason Kidd's name, which suggests to me that he has, in fact, graduated from some degree-granting institution or the NCAA has rescinded the rule requiring coaches to be grads. The exceptionally long bio on his personal website has no reference to graduating, however.

 

Anderson's Fastest Forty was a lot of fun while he was at UAB. Rule changes regarding hand checking and other touch fouls, rules benefiting the offense, just killed him. His entire offense was predicated on pressure defense leading to easy runouts.

 

That is a really good hire for the Cougs. Only one losing season as a coach at Columbia and USF, a CIT title which means he may not get recruits - but he gets the most out of what he gets.
One of the benefits of not having a definitive "hot coach" still in the tourney - fresh off an upset or two - is ADs have to dig a little bit and find someone that has been coaching well for a while, not just getting hot at the right time.

I don't know what it is about Wazzu - but they've had some great coaches through there in Kelvin Sampson, Dick and Tony Bennett, George Ravelling. Never realized Marv Harshman went from Wazzu to UDub.

 

Look for Mark Pope of UVU to be announced soon.

 

Fun fact: St. Paul's had a guy who was a fourth round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2009. Can you name him?

 

Greg Toler!

They had a rubber basketball court back when I would see VSU down there.
