Didn’t look that happy after the win. His hearts in Virginia.

Just shutter the athletic department in that case. Would look like Scott within 2 years. Those weeknight out of conference games would be lucky to get 2500 attendance. I’ll spend time with my family on Saturdays I guess.

Rick Carlisle: Haliburton healthy and Pacers rattling off wins and back in playoff picture

Shaka Smart: Got his guy hired as the new AD at Marquette

Byington: Recently hired and has Vanderbilt money and buyout as a hurdle

DeVries: most likely the next coach at Iowa

It really is Calhoun, Smith or bust for me (and accepting Odom even though I don’t think he has the ceiling of the other coaches on this list)

I don’t see Smith coming here. Can imagine his buyout will be steep as well, and one of the reasons he took the Stanford job is because his son is autistic and Stanford has one of the best autism centers in the country.

That’s gonna be a tough sell especially after only one year.

Hahahaha. I wish I wasn’t told that. Trust me.

Wait. Do you mean there is a universe where Ron is retained?

I’m sure there will be a subset of our donor base who want us to keep the Tony Way and think that Ron just needs to be given a better roster.

But if we finish as we’re projected, aka with a below .500 record and as a bottom four team in the ACC, I don’t see how those involved in the decision making process would be able to justify giving him the job.

The Tony Way ended in 2019.

We have players who don’t even look to attack the time and shoot unless wide open. It’s a horrible basketball product. And the better rosters wont come to play for a miserable product.

Heard the exact opposite on basketball roster funds this week second hand from a good source.

Exact opposite as in Ron won’t be retained, or that he would have backing for his roster.

Nothing Ron related. I don’t acknowledge a universe in which he’s back because that’s just not realistic in my judgement.

I was referring to the money for the roster. It’s there.

Hope your source is right. Mine was a well known former player. No clue how dialed in he is though.
