After this year Tyās going to be too rich to be a college coach. Same reason Joe will never be a college coach even though heād make a good one

Penny Hardaway made $120 million in the NBA. Danny Manning made $60 million.
If Ty and Joe want to get into coaching, they will.

Penny isnāt really comparable to anyone else given his prodigal son status in Memphis. Unique situation there.
You have some examples like Manning and Juwan Howard but itās not common. Much more common for guys who make tens of millions to coach in the NBA or just coach a local high school. A ton of headaches that come with college coaching you donāt have to deal with in the pros. Even more now in the NIL and transfer portal era

I know what you mean in Prodigal son for Anfernee but I dont think that was really the case
The way he got back into coaching was joining childhood friend who got cancer as head coach for junior high team and eventually Penny took over and stayed with the team as they went to HS then got the Memphis job

Didnāt mean to diss him or anything. Just that he has a special place in that city and without that pressure who knows if he wouldāve coached in college.
Either way I feel comfortable predicting Malcolm, Joe, Dre, Trey, Sam, and Ty combine for 0 career college basketball games as a head coach. If I had to back a āformer TB player becomes successful CBB head coachā Iād bet Devon Hall

IMO, Tony likely intimated to Kyle that he could get him his start this year or never. Seems unlikely that CTB would string him out like that without at least broaching the possibility with him. āHey Kyle, do you think youād want to coach someday? If so I can get you going now but it needs to be this year because Iām closeā No inside info obvs but seems like a pretty fast decision from Kyle.
As stuff gets hammered out for college revenueā¦ contract lengths for players etc.
I can see more pro type coaches going college routeā¦.
Players asked for it (pay) so now treat them
and coach them like professionalsā¦
Soon there wonāt be unlimited transfers for those that are receiving monies.
And most decent programs will have GMs for scouting and recruiting.

Iām a big Ritchie fan. Heās struck a good balance between adopting TBās overall philosophy while keeping his own identity. They play similarly, most of the same strengths and weaknesses you associate with Bennett, yet itās always been a more free flowing player friendly style. Just a really good likeable guy too, players love him.
My concern with him is the same as with some other mid major coachesā¦there are things you can get away with at that level. He loves skilled guysā¦the athleticism gap isnāt as big there so Itās easier to get away with. I have doubts UVA will consider him but Iād be happy with the hire.

Never gonna happen but Will Wade would be fun. Would like to see him in ACC (FSU or Miami maybe)

Why does everyone assume Kentucky over WVU? The latter is playing better than the former, and itās his home state.

Poca to Morgantown: 2 hours, 37 minutes
Poca to Lexington: 2 hours, 30 minutes.
Definitely more Mountaineer loyalty in the area but plenty of UK Hoops fandom too. State line is like 45 minutes down I-64.
