If Btowninsider is a troll he's is the least trolling troll ever

 it would be easy that's why I don't think it's true

Only if he wants to tell OKC and make the full decision now. Then if they will have him stay and coach we should be able to wait. So since that is so easy think about what could be the snag. What if he doesn't want to give his notice to OKC until after playoffs and thus cannot sign your deal until then. Combine that with his history of changing his mind and now you have a snag. May be something else but could easily be this

Which leads me to believe that he is actually receiving information. The validity of that info is entirely up for debate, but I believe someone he trust is giving him this information.

Mitch Henderson from Princeton is pretty impressive.

I'm done talking about who the new coach will be. We still have a coach. Not even a legit rumor that he's out.

I just hope whoever is coaching the team next year gets the guys to play as an actual TEAM.

I got so tired last night seeing them play like five individuals each thinking they should go one-on-one while watching our opponents play cohesive team ball.

Avoiding consecutive shot clock violations would be a bonus as well.

We got schooled by a team with high bbal iq. Happ owns our big men.

That KenPom 30/30 rule is the first hurdle. There have been a few other people who have added to it. Things like an NBA first rounder at PG is something I've seen tagged on that fits. Aka, put Marshall at a school with recruiting benefits and let him do what he's always done.

Have Bennett, Archie, and Sean met the 30/30 rule? I don't even want to consider a coach who has 10+ years of experience as hasn't done that.

Is it really a 30/30 rule or is it more a 30/20 rule? UNC is the only team outside the top 20 defensively to win it, and they were 21. I havent looked at all the national champs off efficiencies. To me top 30 defense isnt good enough, the stats show that.

Could be some big names out on market. Jeremiah Tillmon and Trent Frazier are both studs. UCLA's whole class is good. I heard Mizzou had a 4 star kid waiting on the new coach to decide. State had a good guard as well. Umass has 2 4 stars last year they may have a kid or two. I expect more to happen in the next day or so. Most schools have came out and made their choice, but coaching leaving old schools for new jobs could bring more kids into the mix.

Wisconsin is a great example to show you don't have to have a team full of 5 star players or McD's all stars to be a darn good team.
