2022-23 College Basketball Coaching Carousel

Twitter pushing Chris Holtmann (Ohio State) as Notre Dame's top choice, but doesn't feel like there is much behind that yet.
 
Wish daughters of good coaches enrolled at Wake or at least good coaches who weren’t already at Duke.
 
Notre Dame ain't paying a men's basketball coach Holtmann money. I would not be surprised if Kelsey gets a look from them and also Shrewsberry (although I think he ends up taking the Georgetown job after Cooley stays at Providence).

A few things may be at work:

  • After a losing season, and disappointing finishes to the last few seasons, tOSU may be looking to get out from under its contract with Holtmann
  • Holtmann and his agent know that he will be on the hot seat next year, and if he get's fired, his ability to get another high paying job is limited (better to move to another job before you get fired from your current job)
  • ND may not pay him the same AAV as tOSU, but they will give Holtman a 5 year deal, which provides job security while he rebuilds a program with low expectation rather than deal with tOSU's unrealistic expectations
In short, ND would lose a bidding war to tOSU, but if tOSU is thinking about cutting ties in the next year or two, a deal would make sense.
 
Not going to be too long before coach of the year Justin Gray starts getting looks for a step up.
 
WCU accepted a bid to play in the CBI this year. It's only the 4th post-season bid of any type in WCU's school history, first since 2016. Justin making solid progress.


They open with Charlotte. Here is the bracket:

 
Horrible hire by GT. Old and rich is no way to build a program.

I was going to push back on this, but damn, mighty mouse is pushing 50.

I actually agree with DR a little bit of this one. I think going from a career NBA coach to college is a big transition. You have to juggle so much more than just basketball, and that takes a certain hunger to overwork yourself planning, recruiting, dealing with athletes and a system that is more than just basketball, etc.

Not saying you have to be young, or necessarily not rich, to have that hunger. But it is a different world moving from the NBA to college. Not the coach in college is harder, I don’t think that, but it is a different skill set and outlook.

The NIL college world might be a little different, but we’ll see.
 
Heard he's bring in ernie nester as his college coaching mentor. Bobby Lutz withdrew his name.

Being a college basketball Coach is a 24/7 job. It takes full commitment these days. All in like your entire legacy depends on it. Stoudamire's legacy, like Manning and so many other of these efforts in the past, has long since been solidified. He will not have the hunger for the job. This is no retirement hobby. It will not work.
 
Well then how many times are you going to write it ;)
 
This may be true generally about the type of person who fits that profile, but I don't think you can automatically write him off specifically as not having enough hunger before day 1.

I keep waiting on the exception to this rule.

I thought surely it would be Juwan or Penny. I’m sure it will happen one day.
