Basketball Coaching Carousel

[Carin's Dad]

Speaking of coaches, I wasn't aware that Larry Brown mentors Coach Miller and was instrumental in bringing Nolley to UC. Coach Brown is a legend and is legendary for leaving successful programs.

Seems like the North Texas and Oral Roberts coaches could get a look here. Also, can't rule out former Texas Tech coach Chris Beard at this point, right?

Tech folks seem to think Beard burned all his bridges on the way out of Lubbock. However, he is a candidate at Ole Miss.

And Adams is out at Texas Tech — stepped down per official release

Spot on comparison. Kirby Hocutt, the Tech AD seems to make bad decisions quite often with hires. It'll be interesting to see if one or both of them go.

Patrick Ewing appears to be out after they lose in the Big East tourney.

Also one to keep an eye on — Texas Tech suspended Mark Adams for racially insensitive remarks. Seems potentially comparable to what happened at Penn State with Pat Chambers.

Kermit Davis -- who replaced Andy Kennedy (now thriving at UAB) -- is out at Ole Miss

Chris Beard is a name to watch

Bowling Green parting ways with its coach. Good friend Samari Curtis played at BGSU this year after prior stints at Nebraska and Evansville.

To no one's surprise, NMSU just fired Gred Heiar. They'll find someone willing to take over that dumpster fire. ESPN didn't specify if the decision was cause-based, but that seems obvious. I have no idea if Heiar would have any legal leg to stand on, given the circumstances.

This is not what we want for any spouse/partner of any coach, nor would we want the coaches to be in that situation. The clause is in the contract in the hopefully unlikely event something this awful were to ever happen. I'm not sure what you mean by "we know what to do". However, firing a coach for cause is easy when they do something like this, but it wasn't so easy when there were a lot of gray areas adding up to no good when Brannen was suspended then let go.

Was meant to be tongue in cheek, sorry.
But it does open up a can of worms imo.

I think it's safe to say every position on New Mexico St will be open soon. Staff is on admin leave and the program has been suspended for the season for hazing. Portal people are already happening and this is all not connected to a player on player shooting earlier in the year between NMSU and UNM.

The NMSU Board of Regents are scheduled to meet tomorrow to discuss "limited personnel matters", per the Albuquerque Journal. I'm sure they're looking for a way to fire the HC for cause. That seldom works well for the school.

In this case, I'm surprised they didn't sanction the coach after the shooting incident. He gathered up his team and staff and left Albuquerque without allowing three involved team members to speak with the police. The NM highway patrol had to stop their bus that was headed back to Las Cruces.

And we thought the John Brannen era ended messily.
