Here's a question:

How many people are there below the age of 50 who served as head coach of an NCAA men's basketball team that appeared in a Final Four?

Never mind, the answer is three.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  Can you name them?

Bonus question:

And this is just a question.  Not directed at anyone, but an honest question.

How much of a role do you suppose financial or material inducements (NIL, cars, houses, a tractor) played in building those final four rosters?

That's a pretty cool stat. Two of the three are from Indiana. One of them is an IU grad, and the other is the son of a former IU football player.

Who is the third?

I’ve been busy winning games today. Has anyone shared anything good that I’ve missed?

Todd Golden and company look good right now on the road at Auburn.

What is your criteria? 

Active college BB coaches? 

You didn't specify. 

If you want people under 50 who've led teams to a Final Four -- there are probably quite a few. 

There are three people under 50 who have coached men's Final Four teams.

There are quite a few people who have coached Final Four teams (when they were) under the age of 50.

Translation:  It is difficult to coach a team to a Final Four and often takes years to accomplish (and at higher profile schools than Butler, VCU, or FAU).

Mostly just debate today

UF was down 10 in like 5 minutes and has just boat raced AU since. Clayton Jr has Steph range.

It's 5 million according to espn 

There are 2 buyouts:

1) The school fires him. That is 70% of the remaining contract which puts this buyout at about $11M currently. This money goes to the coach.

2) May decides to leave, i.e. he gets another job somewhere else like, say, IU. This is at $5M and will soon drop to $4M. This money goes to the school.

So you're original post that I replied to which stated they kept it at $5M to make it cheap to fire him is incorrect.

When Dusty was asked about the IU job in the postgame conference he did not demonstrably deny interest and therefore he tacitly indicated he would take the job.

@JerryYeagley23 told us to sit tight when asked about the "We got our guy" comment a couple days ago.

The opinion of the average fan is highly overrated. The average fan barely knows Scott Drew’s name and that guy has a Natty and did one of the greatest reclamation jobs in history. They’ll be down with the hire when he wins. 

If he wins you mean. Which was my point he is not an exciting hire for the fan base in general.

Yeah. I didn't get that you were asking for people currently under 50. 

That's why I found it a little confusing. 

Then again, I"m easily confused.

May is one of the riskiest moves Dolson could make right now. Hiring a guy away from a conference rival adds a whole different level risk to navigate.

I think this is my favorite part of coach search season. Every coach that has a good game shoots to the top of someone’s list and every good coach that stumbles becomes a bum. Does Musselman still have any fans? Because he had more than a few 4 years ago.  
 

gonna be a long 6 weeks!

 

 

 

(I know johnsoniu’s comment is in jest)

Yeah, people are going to have to stay patient with that situation.

I’m not sure how much of a non-answer that even is. Buddy went for almost a minute on Indianastalgia. I don’t think we get past 2 on the list. 

(and if we do we should contact Todd Goldennnnnnnn (if we can confirm he doesn’t throw unsolicited dong at co-eds on IG))

“Todd Golden, because Anthony Weiner don’t coach hoops.”
