It looks like Howland is the lead candidate at Oregon State. Parrish reports that they'll probably hire a coach on the 14th.
Should they hire Howland, I wouldn't be surprised to see Oregon State become a contender in the Pac-12 in a few years.
Or not.
(Still not giving up my "Howland will suck" position).
Until now, I thought Duhon was still in the NBA.
I hope Battle gets hired by Marshall.
I had no idea Cline was such a seasoned assistant.
Clemson gives Brad Brownell a new 6 year deal.

Does that seem oddly long to anyone?
Yes. The news started me thinking about whether Oliver Purnell was a viable candidate for Wake. I discount his troubles at DePaul and think he did as well as could be expected at Clempson. Certain posters here would have suffered a meltdown, but they would have for anyone other than Shaka. maybe he is just a younger version of Al Skinner- a good coach who just lost the drive (sort of the way some see Jim Grobe).
Except that Skinner and Purnell are the same age and Purnell has been a head coach longer.
Maybe Rusty can reinvent himself. He has the experience now to build something at the HS level and potentially college level. And should he find the next Danny Manning and develop him and send him Wake's way... more the better. I hope he gets the job if it's what he wants.
