I don’t think money will be a hangup, just depends on what he wants to do. I would imagine that Brad also respects his family’s opinion too. I mean, his son is a freshman playing bb Notre Dame and family all still in Indiana. It really couldn’t be a better situation to slide right into…. SlammySammy and thebigweave 2

Call me ignorant but who the heck is Darian DeVries. I am being honest, I’ve never heard of him and I’ve never seen him mentioned on this board until you! He was at Drake (2018-2024) and now at West Virginia... And messed up Scott Drew in my original post...

That being said, not only would they have made the tournament the COVID year, they probably would have been a #1 seed. Dayton is a winning, well-established program. Those who want to compare what a coach accomplished at Dayton to what a coach accomplished at Florida Atlantic, as if those two schools are in the same universe, just doesn’t make sense. Good thing I never compared Archie Miller to Dusty May. But to discredit what Archie did at Dayton “because it’s Dayton” doesn’t make an ounce of sense either. Nobody has done what Archie did at Dayton in the 64 team era and nobody has really come close. Home Jersey, 12345Brad and RaceToTheTop 3

I just stating that just because Archie was a failure here doesn't mean every mid major coach will be a failure. As for Hurley in his 10th year at ASI he is 167-140 and made 3 tournaments. Also he is a lunatic on the sidelines Why are you so argumentative and defensive about everything? I was just talking about Bobby Hurley, which you answered but you started out argumentative something about Archie and his failures and a mid major being a failure. Where were you going with that?

AH1971 Posted February 3, 2025 Posted February 3, 2025 DeVries is an interesting candidate and one with potential but really need to see how he fares without his son Tucker. Tucker was a 4* recruit who could have played at a lot of high-major schools yet chose to play for dad and dominated the MVC the last three seasons. lillurk 1

Rick Pitino Jr. has done doing extremely well at New Mexico in a solid conference, he’s been mentored by the best, and he took his lumps and learned at Minnesota in the B1G (and had three 20 win seasons there). I have no reason to believe he’s being considered, but I’d get behind him in a heartbeat, and more so than McCollum. I road up an elevator with him at the Hilton Garden Inn after we smacked their a$$. Seemed like a good dude. :)

Maybe....probably a bubble team right now. On the good side, they have 4 Quad 1 wins and of their 7 losses 5 are quad 1 and 2 are quad 2. 46 in NET. I would say right now that their trajectory is downtrending as they haven't played real well lately. That said, they were picked to finish 13th out of 16 in the Big 12 so I'd say that DeVries has done a good job.
