I thought Mack's violations at Louisville were minor level II violations.  I'm not sure that he's a major rehab project.  

Oh yeah, Mack was always gonna get another shot. Just really surprised it was Charleston.

What's been rumored/expected for more than a week is now official: Andy Enfield has left USC for SMU.  USC figures to look into Eric Musselman, Buzz Williams, Jamie Dixon, Jerome Tang, Niko Medved and Mark Pope, among others.

If everything you read is true that Muss has worn everybody out at yet another stop, I imagine he can be had.

USC likes flash and pizazz.  I don't see much of either in those names.  My guess is that Musselman is looking for a change of scenery.

I don’t hate that move for Enfield or SMU. I wonder if he gets a nice NIL pot or if it all goes to football.  
 

That’s an interesting list of candidates for our new conference foe.

But then why would you want him?

BREAKING, reporting w/@kyletheboone: Oklahoma State is hiring Western Kentucky's Steve Lutz, sources tell @CBSSports. Lutz has taken Texas A&M-Corpus Christi + WKU to the past three NCAA Tournaments. Highly regarded former Creighton/Purdue assistant.

This will be interesting to watch for a couple of reasons: 1) McCollum has been wildly successful in D-2 and he could the next Josh Schertz.  2) Never met the man but there are a not insignificant number of people around the basketball world I inhabit who maintain that he is stone nuts. We’ll see what happens with more exposure and scrutiny.

Why do you think they think he is nuts?  It looks like a great hire on the surface.

It’s my understanding, and, again, never met him, that he is intense in a way that would make Danny Hurley look at him a little sideways. But he’s won something like 5 D-2 Naty’s, so clearly whatever he’s doing works. And he’s only, maybe, 40, so if he can level up he’s got the chance to just keep going.

Guy with that level of success in anything are usually nuts.  They don't think/act like "normal" people.

Someone on here was/is a huge Ben McCollum guy!  magnanimous maybe, I can't remember exactly who always brings up his name every time we have a coaching search.

NGW said that there would be changes in the coaching staff.  We'll see. 

NGW also said not to believe an article quoting Dalton Knecht saying his IU visit had to be rescheduled because Woody decided to have knee surgery. Just sayin . . .

Yeah, he's been at Grand Canyon since 2020.

If Muss does end up at Southern Cal, I wonder if there's any chance the Hogs would give the keys to his top assistant? He's someone with whom we're very familiar ...

Or would they insist on an outside hire?

They should obviously hire Corless Williamson or Scotty Thurman.
