Yup, just like that it's Pitino.
Feels right that he's in the Big East

Young Pitino…not Pops
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
At least we're gonna really see if he's got the juice. You can obviously win at Xavier
Oops. Pitino to Xavier.
We have to assume if Nova doesn't announce someone publicly like tomorrow then it is probably Willard, right?bobinator said:
The situation at Maryland is pretty wild
Fran McCaffery to Penn?
Ross Hodge to WVU. This is a guy to keep an eye on for the future.
Almost a sweep on the "ready to jump" category. Just need McMillan to jump somewhere

If Kevin doesn't get guaranteed nil money and more money in his operating budget at Maryland, it looks like he's gone to Villanova.

Sure seems to be the case. I'm curious who would/will be on Maryland's list. Most of the guys expected to move this offseason have already done so.
But they don't have an athletic director! What a mess

It is bizzare for sure. Kevin Willard played for me many years ago in college.

Colorado State elevates assistant Ali Farokhmanesh. 15 years ago he was in the headlines at this exact time of year on the heels of making the shot to knock off top seeded KU to advance Northern Iowa to the Sweet 16
Buzz rumors back into gear with an opening likely at Maryland.
If that happens we need to see if we can get Hodge to pull a Beard on West Virginia or something.

Is Hodge ready for Texas A&M?
I dunno, but at this point would we have a better option?
I missed that South Florida took my guy Bryan Hodgson Monday. Too bad.
Hey according to some posters, all we gotta do is DM Chris Beard and he'll come running.bobinator said:

Theres always Hoiberg...bobinator said:

I actually kind of think Hoiberg is a pretty good coach. I wouldn't riot if he's our next coach.
The Nebraska job absolutely sucks.

Would you rather have Ross Hodge or Scott Cross?
Hodge but not by a lot.
Hodge was hired by West Virginia right? If Buzz leaves now there are not any good options out there.
What's the hook? Just that he might be McCasland 2.0?
It's close, I don't think it's a definite, but there's just a few small things I like better. I like that he's coached at more schools, I like that North Texas can shoot the ball (Troy is even worse at threes than we are). He's a little younger.
But again, he'd have to pull a Beard on West Virginia which is really rare so I doubt he's even in play.

Breaking: Maryland administrators have told at least one prominent men's basketball booster that Kevin Willard plans to leave for Villanova, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told The Baltimore Sun. https://t.co/yF9l0f2PRK

I get the sense that he doesn't even really want to go but feels like he has to with the uncertainty at Maryland
I'm curious what a guy like him thinks about having to go out to LA, Oregon and Washington during league play…that can't be enjoyable.

Not ideal that a good number of the candidates we'd likely be eyeing have all already taken new jobs.
But also with the MD instability I'm not certain that is something Buzz would be eager to jump into.
Looks like Buzz is out for the Drake job
BREAKING: Drake is expected to hire South Dakota State head coach Eric Henderson, sources told The Field of 68.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) March 28, 2025
Absolutely love this hire by Drake.
Henderson, 46, has led the Jackrabbits to a pair of NCAA tournaments in his six seasons at the helm. His career record is 129-60…
Buzz to South Dakota State!
What if Tennessee wins the whole thing and Barnes rides off into the sunset?
In his final press conference, his last words better be "… and with that, Rick Barnes is removing his name from consideration."bobinator said:
