But I think he's kind of like Bob Stoops. He's just burnt out on being a major college coach.

Curious as to why you think that. Cincy returned 3.5 starters from last year's team, Miller brought 3 players from UNCG, and he brought in a 3 year starting center from Miss. State (not mention a starter from WF, Ody). Going into the season, Cincy was a consensus top 3-4 team in the AAC and was expected to compete for an NCAA bid. Wes had Kentucky-level talent compared to what Forbes had to work with in year #1 at WF.

love a guy going out in his prime
It ultimately worked out that way, but the John Brannen exit was a mess and Wes had to re-recruit a number of guys and repair a fractured roster.
But sure, it is apples and oranges when comparing to Forbes.
Also, both Wes and Forbes can be good.
Ryan Horn hired as new S & C coach at Wichita State.
Get his lighting guy on the phone.

Has Haas been poached, too?
Bob McKillop retiring after 33 years at Davidson. One of the best (FWIW, think Manning was 2-0 against him).
Random fact: McKillop, Rick Barnes and [name redacted] were all assistants at Davidson during the 1978-1979 season.
Big weekend for Davidson hoops. They also announced they’re retiring Steph’s jersey in August.
A little late in the off-season, but LIU just fired Derek Kellogg (he has coached at LIU for 5 seasons; took them to the NCAAs in 2018; they went 12-6 in the Northeast Conference this past season) and hired Rod Strickland. Yes, the same Rod Strickland that played in the NBA for 15 years. Apparently, he was working in the G-League. Fun fact: Rod Strickland is Kyrie Irving's godfather.
For whatever reason there’s a team poster in the soda shop in town from that year. I cringe every time I go in there and see [name redacted]’s face. I’ve offered the manager money to take it down!
Run the orbit.
