2025-26 College basketball coaching carousel

[YMCA B-Baller]

On one hand, he made five NCAAs at Seton Hall, which will soon seem as impressive as driving to the moon, and the 2020 team had a Final Four ceiling. On the other, he's wrung an awful lot out of that what-could-have-been scenario. I wouldn't back the truck up until he won two games next weekend, mostly b/c I think he'd be a terrible fit at Stepford Nova.

Apropos of absolutely nothing you just wrote, but Kevin Willard strikes me as the most joyless person on Earth.

Even if he had money, what would he spend it on? He strikes me as the real life version of the parody Nick Saban does in that Vrbo ad.

Like, if Kevin Willard bought a car, the only option he'd want is a louder horn so he could amplify his irritation with the world. Or he shows up at a tailor and says, "I need the most severe suit you have in this dump."

I think he may actually be Cameron's dad from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

I was watching a youtube of recent March Madness highlights, and saw some Saint Peters. I remember the coach was a hot commodity for a hot second.

I had to google him to see where he went. Shaheen Holloway is currently shipting the bed at Seton Hall.

Get the bag when you're hot.

With 67-55 loss to Villanova in first-round of the Big East Tournament, men's basketball ends worst season in school history

Just a year after recording 25 total wins and clinching the NIT title, Seton Hall ends their 2024-2025 campaign with their 25th loss as they fall to Villanova in the opening round of the Big East Tournament.

The Peacocks were THE most memorable story of the 2022 NCAA tournament. The kind of stories that are disappearing as the P4 schools continue their quest to control the tournament to eliminate the mid- and low-majors.

Looks as if West Virginia's Darian DeVries will take the Indiana job, per the usual suspects. His son, the two-time MVC player of the year under his dad at Drake who was hurt for nearly all of this season at West Virginia, reportedly is going with him.

It's official. As an IU alum and fan I'll reserve judgment, but I don't imagine the lunatic fan base will.

The package deal is interesting. Not unlike Cignetti bringing half of his JMU team to Bloomington.

He's in an impossible spot (a Big East school with CAA funding and facilities) in the gig he's wanted forever. But yeah, I do wonder if in his quiet moments he wishes he'd gone somewhere else. He probably could have had any open job after that run.

Looks as if Will Wade to NC State is just about a done deal, even if he still has at least one game left at McNeese.

A perfect match. I'd predict that Wade would become the fifth coach in NC State history to put the team under sanctions for what the NCAA deems "major infractions," but nothing's improper anymore. I still maintain you don't want somebody who's that blatantly dishonest as a major public face of your institution.

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

They'll still punish NC State before punishing Duke or UNC, but yeah, you really gotta work hard to get caught these days. But I have faith in Will Wade!!!

 

[tapintoamerica]

If they're going to applaud the hiring of Will Wade, NC State fans abdicate the right to chastise UNC about Belichick.

I trust Wren Baker to make the best choice

Can Huggins sober up in time for the presser?
