2022 college basketball coaching carousel of progress

And don't forget, that league is only going to get tougher next year when Sister Jean comes aboard.

 

Speaking of GW, this would be a home run (though their last Vermont hire ended badly for them):



Caputo and Pegues are the two other names I've seen connected to the GW gig.

 

I would think Becker could do better, though the Atlantic 10 is a giant step up competitively from the America East, for sure.

 

Becker has an ugly scandal brewing at Vermont - several basketball players have been accused of sexual assault, although it's unclear how much Becker knows / knew, and when. A decent portion of the student body wants him fired. I think it's why he didn't really get much traction this hiring cycle, even though his track record at Vermont is pretty ridiculous. The guy can coach, but unless you've had a chance to thoroughly vet the crap up in Vermont - and I don't know how you would - there's a big chance the hiring could bite you on the ass a couple months from now.

 

Was not aware of that, thanks.

 

For background: https://www.wcax.com/2022/02/18/students-protesters-claim-uvm-silenced-survivors-sexual-assault/ - There is a better article out there behind a payroll, but yeah. I do think that him going to GW would be a great hire for them - the guy can coach - but it's unclear what's going on at Vermont.

 

Steve Prohm going to run it back at Murray State.

 

Should probably have never left in the first place.

 

Watching SportsCenter and just saw how Larranaga has Miami in its first Elite Eight. Seven years, eight years ago, whatever it was, you figured Larranaga would be there for three or four years and it’d set up his retirement. How’d that go?

Edit: Just looked it up, he’s been at Miami for 11 years. He was at Mason for 14.

 

It's gonna be such a bummer for St. Peter's when Holloway announces he's leaving this week. What a buzz kill.

 

Saw this on a twitter feed known as "Major Madness." I have no idea how locked in this guy is. Martelli makes a lot of sense for La Salle, I'd expect he still has a house in the Philly area and La Salle desperately needs someone to give the program a modicum of juice. Not sure why Mike Davis would leave Detroit for Alabama A&M.

Had no idea Rob Lanier of Georgia State was headed for SMU.

Seton Hall- Shaheen Holloway

He’s an Alabama guy who did time in T-town and Birmingham.
