2024 college basketball coaching carousel

[Cosmo]

Seems they regularly cross that line. The basketball program, as others have pointed out, has been rotten to the core for 40 years.

In re: Hardaway, I suspect there has to be at least one former NBA star-turned-college-head coach who managed to succeed in coaching, but offhand, I can't think of a recent example. Who am I missing?

Can't really find one either.

Interesting nugget, though: There are only four Division I coaches left that coached their respective team at some point in the 20th century -- Mark Few at Gonzaga, Tom Izzo at Michigan State, James Jones at Yale, and Greg Kampe at Oakland.

Mike Davis is going to be the head coach of Memphis by the beginning of the season, isn't he? LMAO.

FTFY

I think I'll trot over to the Memphis board and begin a poll.

"Will Mike Davis be the Memphis Head Coach at the start of the season or by the end of the season?"

That ought to start a fire.

When Penny was hired there Gary Parrish was all in on the hire, and Geoff Calkins was vocally against. They had a public meltdown on the radio about it.

Looks like Penny has lost Parrish.

Fred Hoiberg was definitely not a star, a journeyman who has done well in college.

They are unironically talking about bringing back Josh Pastner as the interim if needed. You would not believe the things they were saying about him by the time he was run off.

They weren't wrong either. Goin great Tiger High!

I am sure that they have developed a template for the letter, given how many times the school has sent it to the NCAA. Call it up in Word, sign it and send in.

I like Parrish's podcast but his written work is way to long and redundant.

I'll have to check out his pod. Never listened to it. Thanks for the tip.

That column was embarrashing. The guy is a good reporter who knows the game. But that reads like thousands of words of catharsis and mourning. Especially mourning. Borderline unprofessional. Nobody cares about your school. Nobody. He references three Final Fours but fails to mention that two of them were vacated by the NCAA.
