Like, I don't know what the recruiting pitch is that seems to work. "Come to this super weird school with a weird looking campus in an ugly part of town named after a religious charlatan, oh and no tattoos or dancing, and you have to go to chapel every day, and here's our ugly ass 10K seat arena which will have a few hundred people a game, maybe a few thousand if we're good."
March 7Mar 7 Hmmmm, maybe it’s the word “Oral” that’s part of the school name that draws recruits? Same goes for Morehead St and Ball St.

Watching Arch Madness makes me pine for the days of WSU and Creighton in the Valley. I saw the Van Vleet squad lose to UNI in Cedar Falls. Halcyon days for that league. Both WSU and UNI finished Top 15 that year.
March 9Mar 9 Final Four to fired in less than a year. it's an unforgiving business, although I'm sure he'll be well compensated.

March 12Mar 12 Ron Sanchez is out at Virginia Not that he really "earned" the job that Bennett made sure he got
March 13Mar 13 Minnesota open. Ben Johnson out after 4 middling years and multiple (ignored) pleas for the school to up its NIL game in MBB
March 13Mar 13 Have heard another coach has impressed the IU AD. Thats right, it’s the… Spoiler Vandy coach.

March 14Mar 14 Was just posting about him recently how he's been at Iowa for so long and being pretty mediocre.
March 15Mar 15 That was quick for Villanova. I think the small schools are really going to have a hard time in this new era of $$ and transfers. Villanova was terrible the other night down the stretch against UCOnN
March 15Mar 15 Kevin Kruger out at UNLV. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/44266303/head-coach-kevin-kruger-fired-4-season-rebels
March 15Mar 15 I guess if Texas isn't in the Big Dance then our announcement should come Monday. If we are in and we don't make the EE then the announcement should come right after Texas showers in the last game. With the old saying "With the resources that UT has, they should be in the Sweet 16 or EE every year" are the BO Cigars/CDC going to ante up and play with the big boys? Shit the SEC Tournament is like the NCAAs just with fewer teams. RT can't compete in this space. Don’t say that we are a football school first…….look at Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee. Texas is under pressure to make sure the big 3 men’s sports are always in the running for a conference title. Other sports will be fine. Edited March 15Mar 15 by NashLonghorn

March 17Mar 17 Iona fired Tobin Anderson after 2 years. They just made the conference title game. Pretty baffling For those wondering, Anderson was the coach of 16 seed FDU when they upset 1 seed Purdue a few years ago.

He's got a pretty good history of hiring up and coming coaches between getting Grant McCasland to UNT and nabbing DeVries at WVU. Still, gotta be demoralizing after the money they've spent in NIL the last few years.

March 17Mar 17 WVU is probably a better hoops job than Iowa, honestly. Iowa's really stingy about NIL for some reason - especially MBB. Plus, they're so far behind us over the last 25 years in terms of actual results, fan support, and NBA development that it's basically 2nd fiddle in a small population state (despite being the generally more popular athletic department). Maybe DeVries will reignite their passion and they'll do something with that program, but they were awfully content to let McCaffery linger at just barely above average for 15 years. The Big 10 is an easier league too. I do think DeVries will do pretty good there, but I don't see him catching Otz.
March 18Mar 18 I think DeVries is pretty good, but I don't think he's "middle of a bidding war between 3 major conference schools" good. Whoever gets him is probably gonna pay too much.
March 18Mar 18 Good coach. It feels like forever since IU felt like a blueblood program. Could be a tough job unless there's some huge influx of NIL money available. Edited March 18Mar 18 by 'stache
March 18Mar 18 It’ll be interesting to see if WVU can grab McCollum over Iowa. Their AD hired him to NWMO.
