Wouldn't hate it! He also made Goobman look like a dope the other day when he asked about his championship at LA Lu and he responded, that happened the year after I left! Lol

Lloyd is one name out there that seems like a possible surprise candidate.  AZ isn’t in the best financial shape and Tommy supposedly doesn’t like his AD.  There are no good jobs in the PNW, so Tommy will have to stay far from home if he wants a big program.  This situation could have led Tommy to connect with Scott a while back and get this mostly wrapped up by the time Woody was fired.

I’m just guessing at some other angles that explain how quiet search has been.

He would be a homerun hire that no one has really talked about.  I would love that.

I've been trying to rally his name from the begging.

Must have missed you. We were behind the basket on the Maryland/msu side 10 rows up.

Homerun hire is strewn about very loosely! I think Tommy is a solid triple with no outs.

The ncaa is a joke for sure — but for us kinda older guys, RMK’s players graduated, and generally had B averages, he ran the program strictly.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not some kind of academic hawk, but then you have a school like UNC with a history of a fake academic program- that’s complete crap.
A program should be working the line of ncaa rules, working with the bball program to advise it in the grey but not against the program as some kind of gotcha group, buy also not deliberately faking academics and ignoring the rules. 

Coca Cola Roy brought his academic advisor with him to Chapel Hill from Kansas and implemented the African Studies program that were paper grades with one exam final handed to the players by tutors. NCAA uncovered it all and put them on probation and took away a couple visits. uNC fought it the whole way.

Armon and Jamarcus Ellis were both booted for the end of the season for a combination of drugs, bad grades, and being late.  They both tried to return when Crean was hired, but he said they were kicked off for a reason.   Essentially all of Sampson's guys were gone the next year.  

End of season. Still Creans players got in More trouble granted he coached here much longer than Sampson.

Does a Boise State loss keep them out of the field? They’re last in and we are first out on ESPN.

No. You’d have to get their transcripts. I was on campus during this time. The team had good gpa that first semester.

Under Crean? His first season, the basketball team APR jumped from 886 under Sampson to 975... the following two years they hit 1000 each.

Lunardi predicting Woody has coached his last game….IU first four out….

which means if it’s Stevens….there is no reason not to announce on Monday…zero…

Unfortunately, Lunardi isn't consistently very good as bracket-predicting goes. Seems like a toss-up whether they'll make the tournament.

Big 12 appears to be playing on a large hotel conference center carpet. Interesting choice

Kinda hurts your eyes... the conference calls it "aesthetically unique".
