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

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

[Lobot]

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

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

@JonRothstein -- Source: Georgia Tech is expected to hire Boston Celtics assistant Damon Stoudamire as its next head basketball coach barring something unforeseen.

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.

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

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.

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

Jeff Goodman may have had this first, expects it to be announced in 24-48 hours

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

[longtimefan]

I suspect that many on here would welcome that. I would like to see CWM stay in Cincy and finish what he came here to do. We have a quality class coming in and we are making progress.

No matter who the coach is, many on here would welcome that. It’s been the case since Huggs left.

Expect Mark Turgeon to make an appearance in the Wichita search

Wichita State making a coaching change as well
