2019 College Basketball Coaching Carousel

"I prayed, coach. And the last prayer I prayed, I asked for clarity, for a sign that I should be at Tennessee, like, I don't know, a pearl white Escalade with Tennessee plates in my driveway when I woke up..."

These religious hucksters are really something.

 

Ethics?

Auburn and LSU have tipped the scales of ethics in SEC basketball

 

They work at SEC Values just as hard as the football coaches.

 

Just hire Tim Cluess and be done with it.

What makes this all the more puzzling is that - usually! - you don't get rid of a coach unless you know you have someone better lined up.

Well ... Bobby Hurley renegotiated with the folks in Tempe pretty quickly and that was that.

Cluess has been there a while. He knows the metro area. He has a proven track record, though he hasn't had the caliber of school that - according to natural selection, NCAA basketball style - can get a higher caliber player.

But otherwise this should be a no-brainer. A potential problem is will administration let Mike Cragg do his job? If the answer is anything other than a hesitation-free, unobstructed "yes," then Cragg might want to place a call to Kevin White in Durham and ask him if coming back is out of the question. Not kidding ...

 

I read that as Tim Clueless.

Carry on.

 

If I could just click my heels three times and make it so . . .

Rick Barnes would be at UCLA, and Bruce Pearl at Tennessee.

 

One can only assume he's gotten his walking papers because of the original Wade suspension and not because of the re-instatement, n'est-ca pas?

Embattled LSU athletic director Joe Alleva steps down, reportedly replaced with Scott Woodward

 

The mess with Wade was the last straw.

Never understood why LSU bent over backward to poach him from Durham.

A couple of Baton Rouge's self-proclaimed power brokers are pretty proud of themselves, though. They wanted him gone for a long time, and the mess with Wade was enough grist for the mill.

Boats throughout Baton Rouge are really nervous now.

 

When Ed O goes 7-5 one of these years and gets fired, they had to have a new AD to hire his replacement

 

The people hacked off by the basketball scandal are mad because Alleva suspended Wade. That tells you all you need to know about SEC Values.

 

So did I. The guy has been working to mute that joke his entire career.

 

He should have taken a page from TV's Joan Blunden, who changed her last name to Lunden for TV, lest it be mistaken for Blunder.
