Imagine getting $500,000 for every time you did something good at your job.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I hope this is real.

I remember when Pitt was a 1 seed in the tournament in 2011? I guess moving to the ACC hasn't been a good move thus far.

It was good when Dixon was there. He left. Stallings was bad.

 

[John Price]

Quite possible that UConn could re-hire Calhoun. @GarbageGoal @Halladay

 

[GarbageGoal]

Let them. It’ll be like Joe Mullaney’s last run at Providence.

They’ll steal Hurley from URI.

Another "power conference" job opens...

 

[HisIceness]

Tom Crean and Thad Matta also mentioned.

 

[John Price]

Pitino to Georgia?

 

[sabremike]

For the sake of human decency any school that even thinks of hiring Pitino should be burned to the ground and have salt poured on the ground on which it stood. How he wasn't hit with a show cause penalty I have no idea.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I'm surprised that Gottfried got a job since he's involved in the FBI investigation.

More tweets coming since I think three is the limit...

 

[rangerssharks414]

Davis is a great hire.

 

[rangerssharks414]

WTF with regards to Tubby Smith...

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

David Padgett lost any chance of having the interim tag at Louisville removed IMO when he accepted the NIT invitation rather than turning it down as a proverbial middle finger to the NCAA for how they have treated the basketball program there this season (taking away their 2013 title, then not inviting them to the 2018 NCAAs to give them a chance to get a title back).

Mark Few should become the new Louisville coach. He's done great for Gonzaga (congrats on beating my Buckeyes...again). It's time for him to move on from being a big fish in a small pond. The ACC is filled with all kinds of great coaches. Williams, Boeheim, Krzyzewski, to name a few.

Sources: Hardaway to be Memphis' new coach

I still can't believe that they got rid of Tubby.

Pitino to Georgia?

He should never coach again.

Hardaway, to his credit, worked his way there and is huge for the city of Memphis. Plus they now have a chance to snag Lomax away from Wichita State and to get Wiseman.

Louisville was a clear bubble team. It's not like they were a major snub. And turning down the NIT is an example of the classic idiom "Cutting off your nose to spite your face"

I can tell you Louisville deserved to be in more than Oklahoma (case in point, Louisville made final 8 of NIT while OU lost in the first round of the NCAA). And more schools should turn down the NIT or lesser tournaments. I was not pleased when Ohio State won the 2008 NIT a year after losing the NCAA title game. For major programs, an NIT title is the black sheep of accomplishments in college basketball (UCLA does it right and disowns their 1985 NIT title).

So Louisville deserved to be there more than UVA? Okay. Oklahoma’s resume is fine.

The main point I was getting at is that NIT titles are pretty much unwanted by members of conferences like the ACC and Big Ten. As I said, UCLA is right for not acknowledging they won the NIT in 1985.
