College basketball coaching carousel

Jeter out at UW-Milwaukee. 3 players transferring. Not sure who will coach at UW-M. Maybe a D-III Wisconsin coach, like when Bo Ryan left Platteville for UW-M. Arians, Springs, Johnson transferring. Johnson was second in nation in assists.

 

The three transfers were their three top scorers, right?
AD also decided not to send the team to either of the postseason tournaments they were invited to (the shitty ones).

 

Snyder could coach until hell froze over if he wanted to. Vanier and Snyder are very very close. Currie doesn't take a shit without asking Vanier first. I know they put on this persona of my son, the future head coach......deep inside, they have to he hoping and praying that Sean doesn't want it. He's just not it.
As far as hoops goes, If you ask people in Manhattan, the Tom Asbury era never existed. Everyone loved Francisco and Huggins. I'm curious if Steve Henson has received a phone call yet.

 

I don't think they should fall in love with Steve Henson just because he's a K-State guy. If he was a Big 12 caliber head coach wouldn't he have at least gotten a sniff somewhere? Sixteen years as an assistant to Kruger and I'm not sure if I remember him ever even being a candidate for a mid-major job.

 

UAB's Jerrod Haase to Stanford, per ESPN. Good for him. Get out of that mess.

 

And it's only 15 minutes from his hometown of Tahoe.

 

Considering that Haase was also a decorated student between Cal and Kansas, that's a great fit.

I agree on the Steve Henson assessment -- I'm always leary of the long-time assistant who didn't leave in his 30s for a head coaching job somewhere.

Still curious to see if anyone else will get the Stan Heath/Andy Enfield move to a major conference because of one or two good games.

 

It's not even so much that Henson hasn't left yet or should have in his 30s, that's actually kind of young. But you'd think if he was Big 12 head coaching material that sometime in the past decade or so people would have been talking about him taking over a UNLV or Wichita State type job and I don't remember any talk of that. It makes you wonder why.

 

This is a great move for Haase. I'd figured that he would stay at UAB until he got an offer from a P5 school, but that he would not take a cellar dweller just for the contract. Stanford has a basketball tradition, facilities, solid academics, rich alums, and a fertile recruiting ground. Haase is still learning game time coaching but he's got four years as a HC. He did a very good job at recruiting, and the team won 26 games this season.

I'm hearing that Roy Williams made a call to help grease the skids. I think that Haase is being groomed to replace Roy when the time comes, so Roy wants him to get some big school seasoning. Add in that it's a chance for a UNC guy to replace a Dukie, and any chance to stick a finger in a rival's eye is valued. He was being looked at by Pitt, and I doubt that Roy wanted to see him at another ACC school.

He's a character guy. UAB's RPI is high and he has graduated all players he's coached. Best of luck to him. He left things much better than he found them.

 

Henson was in the running for UNLV, IIRC.

 

That might be right, I just didn't remember. But I still think K-State could do better. Hiring a guy just because he's an alum turns out to be Sid Lowe more often than it's Roy Williams.

 

And Georgia Tech is now open.
