Moving up the coaching ranks is like moving up the fighting ranks. You’ll never know if you’re a champ, a contender or just a gatekeeper until you get the shot. The thing about the B1G is that nearly every coach is better than the best coach in Drakes conf. For every Bo Ryan there’s a Steve Alford. And for every Alford there’s a Todd Lickliter. How about a Nate Oats or a Dan Hurley

In eight season there he had three 20 win seasons, two NCAAs and an NIT championship, and won B1G coach of the year. Did I mention he did that at friggin Minnesota, and did all of it before his 40’th bday? That pretty damn good ‘big boys playing’ for a young coach at the worst job in a 14 team conference.

For a while now, he's been pretty much happy at Gonzaga... and he's in his early 60s... curious... I think the issue there is probably NIL. But it’s really tough to picture a dude in his 60’s leaving the only gig he’s ever had, even if Randy Bennett is whippin’ his a$$ these days. Class of '66 Old Fart and Pagoda 2

This I agree with! Very well said and I think Richard Pitino took his lumps but at least should be interviewed. I would take him over McCollum and any other mid-major that people are bringing up

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. Gates, Shrewsberry, and now Pitino Jr. Are there any mediocre coaches you don't like and would be opposed to? ;) cybergates, Josh, Deserthoozier and 6 others 2 2 5

IUHoosierJoe Posted February 3, 2025 Posted February 3, 2025 59 minutes ago, AH1971 said: Archie took Dayton to 4 straight tournaments as an at-large. Dayton undoubtedly is a solid program with history but nobody else there has come close to doing that. Anthony Grant is in year 8 after replacing Archie and has made the tournament one time (would have been 2 had COVID not cancelled) and are probably on the outside looking in this year. Anthony Grant sucked at Alabama, so that’s not really relevant. 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.
