Basketball Coaching Carousel

Miami’s Jim Larrañaga tells Jeff Goodman he’ll be back

[Lobot]

Half of William and Mary's players are in the portal this afternoon. I'm assuming there's a coach firing here? If not yikes.

John Brannen looking for another opportunity.

This is a good piece on a man that is trying to get better as a leader. Brannen even goes to visit some business leaders and current coaches (Matt Painter, Billy Donovan, Kelvin Sampson, etc.) to talk with them concerning leadership. Miller needs to do something like that to EXPAND his defensive approaches to basketball and the way he thinks about defensive strategy. Giving up 70 points a game (conference) will not result in many NCAA Tourney births.

Missouri State has opened . Ben McCollum appears to be the main target

Now that Huggs isn't at WVU, we need to find a way to get DerMarr Johnson back in Clifton.

I think that you can trace cheating at xavier back over the past 5 coaches. Every one of them got busted for cheating at their newer big state university. As for now, as stated by Lobot, NIL has leveled the playing field where past cheating just goes unchecked today.

tO$U is playing much better under their interim coach. I'm not convinced UC would win. X has UC's number. I don't like that matchup either. UC would likely lose both games.

How much sweeter would be a victory. Never back down.

I want both X and tOSU

You may get your wish if we both get into the NIT

....

I would like to see the beloved Bearcats play X again and see who is better on the court.

All talk of religious schools is in poor taste as it can be offensive to individuals. I don't think the post was a hit on the RCC, but some schools due to being private think of themselves as better. Holier than thou has become a cliche for thinking of oneself as better without a religious notation. Now I know that some at Duke consider themselves a tad better due to money and certainty not to any vestige that they have of the Methodists. The Kids I meet at Princeton when I go for a pizza at Nomads are very nice. BTW I really like their pizza, but Conte's is the old-time bar pizzeria, and they have great steak sandwiches. St. Peter's here in Jersey and St. Joseph in Philly are both Jesuit and religion is about the last thing that is spoken of. I think it was just an expression stating an attitude in general and not a religious slur. I have met some at another Jesuit school that many have an attitude, but it is because they are ND and not Society of Jesus affiliated. Then again, I have not met all who attend. I will say that a school which started to be the academic opposite of religious schools such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton without being religious has a large attitude of many who think they are better. At least it has been my experience at the University of Chicago Law School. (wow what a better than thou attitude was my post)

I would like to see the beloved Bearcats play X again and see who is better on the court.

I get what you're saying but I think you made a leap there. "Holier than thou" could refer to a whole bunch of schools like say, Baylor or Liberty or technically even Duke. There's quite a few Jesuit schools out there that most people don't have an issue with, like SLU. Then there's Xavier. But yeah It would be nice if we could beat them on the court.

Re: Mack, I think the things that Miller and Mack were doing at X no longer apply. NIL has killed that advantage for them. Now everyone can play that game.

It just hit me the wrong way.

Mike Hopkins is gone at Washington

Can we just leave it as Catholic without the sarcasm? That is offensive to all Catholics. Aside from basketball, Jesuit universities are very highly rated academic institutions. Beat them on the court, not insults.

Heard Chris Mack could be in play at Saint Louis.

I think that would be perfect.

His name came up briefly in OSU talks in the immediate aftermath of Holtmann firing and that seemed crazy to me. He's not ready to jump back in at that level. Also, I have long believed that he would resurface at a private school - he couldn't get away with some of the same s---- at Louisville (public) as he was probably doing at Xavier (holier than thou private institution).
