He’s not considered because he’s a dookie. And one of the most prolific whiners in the history of the universe.

more reasonable than an average hoopinhoos post.

This is true. I also think Collins is missing the New Mexico piece of his resume. If he left NW or got fired and went to Davidson and had them top 40 in KenPom sitting atop the A10, I think we’d feel differently about him.

I do think age is a factor too. Pitino was 30 when hired at Minnesota some some of his results make sense in that context. I don’t think the comparison is a terrible one, though. Collins’s resume is better than I realized, it’s just a little harder to see the upside than with Pitino.

New Mexico and Utah State tied with exactly the same SRS today - 40th in nation.

Only 2 non majors ahead of them are Gonzaga and St Mary’s - both of whose schedules were boosted by 4 games with Oregon State and Washington state

Lost in all the action yesterday, Bob Richey and Furman swept Bucky and Samford

Samford definitely has less talent this year than last.

He’s also Chris Collins, so he can essentially die in a fire.

:eyes: :eyes: Retiring, huh… the perfect cover story

Tough night. Bad hoops, bad hoops, or exhibition hockey.

What’s the score of the snow soccer match?

2-2 last I checked

Jon Cooper

Two time stanley cup winner. Has been in a sorta slump post season last two years.

No idea on his ability to work the portal.

Extra 0 there, it was a $10k prize. UMass paid the kid out after the dirt bag insurance agency that ā€œsponsoredā€ the halftime contest flaked

Breaking news from the Augusta Free Press! So we can chalk up Shaka as not even interested based on this article?

Chris Graham uses this blurb all the time… who is telling him?

from what I’m being told

TL/DR excerpt:

The top outside target, I’m told, is Marquette coach Shaka Smart , who led VCU to the 2011 Final Four , has a win in JPJ – his 2013-2014 VCU team beat a UVA team that went on to win the ACC regular-season title , the ACC Tournament and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen .

" Sanchez, from what I’m being told, has worked himself into contention in the job search with his team’s recent play, with a stretch of five wins in the last eight games, and noticeable development of the young roster, with a rotation that would only lose one guy, Taine Murray , to graduation/end of eligibility."

Against the worst stretch of our schedule in an awful acc lol I doubt our search committee is that dumb.

I also think it would be weird for anyone involved with the university in any official capacity to say anything about Ron other than ā€œhe has a shot at the job and we’re rooting for him.ā€ The Ron part of this feels no different than generic public posturing.

If I’m not mistaken, it’s well known most inside the athletic department dislike Graham. Didn’t his credentials get revoked?

So, therefore, the TLDR is: he doesn’t know sh*t

His inside source is @BDragon . I’m 100% convinced. Everything lines up!

Sounds like Michigan won’t be entering the fray.

I would think this moves Beard pretty high up the Indiana board (after Self, of course!)
