Basketball Coaching Carousel

[Jeff Burk]

He's a lock for "Most wins without a ring."

You're right but he was as close as you can get to being a lock for a ring before Martin went down. I was sick to my stomach when that happened, I can't imagine how it affected Huggs in so many ways.

Saw this on social media.
"Bob Huggins needs 3-4 good seasons to become the 3rd coach in NCAA basketball history to record 1000 wins. Louisville is a historically top 10 program but are coming off a 4-28 season in Kenny Payne's first year. Could we see Huggy Bear bounce back somewhere for a few years and reach coaching immortality?!?!? #ncaabasketball #wvubasketball #mountaineers #louisville #BobHuggins #huggybear"
Compared to Coach K at 1202 wins in 47 years, Boeheim at 1015 wins in 47 years. Huggins has 936 wins in 41 seasons.

Speaking of Martelli, Phil Sr. is basically the acting head coach at Michigan right now. Is Juwan Howard still recovering from his heart procedure?

Phil Martelli, Jr. = new head coach at Bryant

This is a promotion from within, as makes perfect sense this late into the season. He's been on the Bryant staff since 2018 and was promoted previously to associate head coach in 2020.

Bryant is open. Jared Grasso has resigned on the heels of being placed on leave all season after a police video of him surfaced being weird to police after a alleged hit and run. Hit and run charges were dropped 4 days ago. Very odd.

Mike Roberts has resurfaced at NC State.

And somehow someone on the BCJ board found this release, announcing Mike Roberts has taken a Strategic Account Executive position in Indianapolis for a logistics company https://www.elangham.com/2023/10/16/...unt-executive/

Tells you what I know. Weird exit though

[GoBearcats31]

Mike Roberts has resurfaced at NC State.

I’m guessing here but I’m going with family issues and he had to go home to Carolina?

Unless his wife is from there (as he coached at UNCG for a while) he is from Indiana

Jeff Goodman: West Virginia AD Wren Baker sat down with assistants Ron Everhart and Josh Eilert yesterday and will do a zoom today with UAB’s Andy Kennedy, source told @Stadium. That’s not complete list of candidates to replace Bob Huggins, but Baker hopeful to have a new coach in place by Monday, per source.

I think Penny is working to get his own day memorialized. Every June gets him an automatic suspension for violations committed. See NCAA infractions ( not UC) #16
