🏀 Next Basketball Head Coach Speculation Thread

On Minnesota radio the other day, a caller said he ran into TB in Hawaii and TB said he doesn’t miss coaching at all. Caller said he looked like he was joyful and at peace with his decision. So from the sounds of it, you’re correct!

IU makes it official. Only posting here because it could have a domino effect on our coaching search depending on how things play out.

“The school wanted to part ways the right way” - what way is that exactly? They paying his buyout?

Let him keep coaching, I guess.

Also inherited a few key cogs from Kelsey including CAA preseason player of the year. Saw Bill & Mary take them out the other night on national TV. He can bugger. Also he’s supposedly a dickhead. No thanks.

IU getting Dusty could start a domino effect. Villanova

UNC Ohio St Texas are possible

Weirdly Iowa opening up could have a major impact on us if any of Calhoun, McCollum, or DeVries end up on our shortlist.

Interesting last time they passed over him and his issues but I saw some indiana people mention new leadership or idk enough about indiana athletics political heirarchy

Did they? I thought he chose Texas to be close to his kids? And the whole alum thing…

He chose Texas bc he went to school there. His kids were in Abilene

For the record, I’m not bought in on Carlisle (not that he or anyone else should give a damn).

It sounds GREAT on paper, but I feel like the road is long and paved with NBA guys who were alums who didn’t work (ahem Mike Woodson). No doubt Carlisle has a much much better track record as a coach
than Ewing, Howard, Isiah Thomas, Mullin, - different sport, but Al Groh. I also don’t think Belichick will work out at UNC - but looking forward to watching his GF in the crowd :smile:

It’s not that Carlisle doesn’t know how to coach - or build a roster for that matter. But it’s like when when you have an old dog and then bring home a puppy. The old dog just looks at you like “what is this sh**?!”

Give me hungry over last stop - Rick is still welcome at JPJ any time.

Dont worry. There is zero chance that Rick Carlisle wants to coach basketball at UVa.

Also the kids may be getting paid, but I think college recruiting is closer to AAU than the NBA where you have multi-year contracts, collective bargaining, and generally much professionalized (Jimmy Butler not withstanding).

Today’s roster building is more like AAU where players are hopping rosters every season, making all kinds of side deals with all kinds of people, and generally anything goes. If I’m an NBA coach that sounds horrible.
