I'm just gonna say it - the way he has his program running at Purdue, it's a better job than Arizona. Maybe he gets a raise/extension out of the rumor mill.

Did you read the part about NO recruiting experience?

You think Lewis couldn't recruit to IU? Have you EVER heard him talk? Dude is on fire about IU and what it ought to be. 

I am not a "sky is falling" kind of guy, but the freaking sky is falling in Bloomington.

Curious, do you still feel this way?

He can stay at Purdue. I wasn't impressed with the State Championship game and the Leo kid looked taller and is listed at 6'7 by his schools roster. 

Wow, sassy- I like it!

He was doubled and tripled the whole game.

Of course there is a reason, Painter wants a raise. He probably has his people starting those rumors.

Since the Brad Steven thread is locked, I'm going to leave this here.  I think we may now have a better understanding of what may have led to Steven's apparent "decision change" during the negotiations when he supposedly when back to the Celtics to "tell them he was leaving".

EDIT:  Sorry, I didn't think to look in the College basketball thread for this.

I will thoroughly enjoy watching that program fall off when he leaves.  His protection from the media for the stuff that has gone on over there is second to only Wooden.

Yep. Wouldn’t be surprised if he went to them to say he was unhappy and going to IU. They probably entered into negotiations and settled on this role. 
 

Amazing.

Want to add it would explain why IU thought he was coming... because Stevens did too. He probably never thought they’d offer him Ainges job

Did Arizona ever hire anyone?

Tommy Lloyd. Mark Few’s top guy.

I brought up Danny Hurley several days ago. I don't remember getting any reaction so I assumed everyone was at most just "meh". I probably am as well but he's intriguing to me. Solid run at Rhode Island. With Bouknight, they look like they could be dangerous in March in year 3 at UConn, year 1 in the Big East. 

I’m that guy who digs this up but doesn’t remember that he wasn’t entirely sold himself but is still here to try a weird flex of some sort.

Penn State has offered Mike Rhoades at or north of 3.5 million annually and will be the next head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions, according to very plugged in VCU sources.

Don't understand that.  Was very mediocre at Fresno St and abysmal at UTEP.  They can do a lot better.

Something to be said for making chicken salad out of the chicken poop that Beard dumped on his plate this year though.

They have the money to pay him to go away whenever they want if he doesn’t work out too.

I think the main takeaway will be that no matter how much of a scumbag Beard is he can build FF quality teams in the basketball wastelands of Texas.  I’d expect him to land on his feet at a major program soon.
