Basketball Coaching Carousel

Seth Davis is reporting that McNeese is closing in on Will Wade -- the coach fired from LSU for cause a year ago. He could still face a significant penalty from the NCAA, though this does not preclude McNeese State from hiring him if they choose to.

Done Deal. Begs the question whether the stuff he did at LSU is legal with NIL rules

ESPN reporting Chris Beard to Ole Miss is close to a done deal

Anyone worried about CWM going back home to UNC if they struggle again next year??

Yes, UNC is about winning conference and national titles, and if they aren't in those races it is a failure. I can easily see Wes being in the conversation to succeed Davis, and he would likely have great interest. I hope Wes stays at Cincinnati and we lay out the red carpet for him to stay; however, no one could begrudge him going to UNC should the job be offered to him.

I would bet the house that UNC gives Davis all time of His contract to turn things around.

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.

Really? Larry Brown was a GREAT defensive coach. I do not see where Brown has influenced Miller's defensive coaching. Brown was a master at the switching man-to-man defense. Check out some old Detroit Piston game film during Brown's tenure there.

Chris Beard to Ole Miss

Rothstein's sources say Aaron McKie out at Temple -- UC gave him a tough L there at the end

[Lobot]

Yeah. I don’t understand that one. Must be something else there

wasn't there a situation with his best player not being there against the cats

Chris Mack not ready to return to coaching

He's getting lots of money to not coach and they're planning to move to Florida. Seems like a pretty decent set up!

Clemson will stick with Brad Brownell

Khalif Battle but I don't have any details on why he wasn't on the team down the stretch.

I do not understand that one either especially since most of Temple's best players are sophomores. Temple should be a very good team next year, assuming everyone comes back. McKie is good recruiter.

some in Philly are saying the Owls folding down the stretch was it, but had to be more with him being an alum and hero
