I saw Weiss is reporting that Devries is expected to accept the Iowa job

From late last night. I don’t think it’s Devries.

WVU to Iowa... why

Could be B1G media rights $ and being in one of the big two stable conferences.  Iowa I guess has financial limitations with bball, but their athletic dept revenue is like 40-50% higher than WVU.

And he is from Iowa.

Got a text from my brother-in-law from someone who works at the Clark County Airport.

That employee talked to Ned Pfau. "Put it this way, you'll know soon. Within 24 hours soon."

That has to be someone not in the tournament right?

On the one hand, this sounds like another catfish moment.  But on a more realistic note, nobody drops "clark county airport" and "Ned Pfau" in a catfish moment!  Oddly enough, this feels like a real light at the end of the tunnel post.

So today's name is going to be Jay Wright?

Got it. 

At least we do spread the names around. LOL

How bada$$ of a news drop would it be if Jay, himself started the Thursday noon tourney show with” this will be my last year doing this show for the foreseeable future, I’m talking the Indiana job!” Right before the first tip of the day!

Stevens or McCollum… or another left field guy…

Is it over....

Game of Thrones fan both Books and Show, though this part is past where the books are. I think this as him saying the coaching search is over, not a the hopes of any one particular candidate. 

Goes with he vibe of the board right now and thus means he has no reason to continue to post GIFs and Memes

Dude is from Iowa.  Went to UNI.  Coached at Drake.  My first child went to UNI undergrad and went to Iowa for grad school.  It is beautiful in Iowa - far more than people give credit.  And if you are from Iowa, it is culturally ingrained in you probably more than even us Hoosiers understand (esp those of us from the hills of Indiana).  Yes, it is a half-step up from WVU, but I would argue this is something akin to a destination/dream job for him.
