NCAA MBB Coaching Carousel

[8bucks 6,429]

I thought the NCAA frowned on schools making the announcing during the championship game day or FF weekend.  I know we made an announcement once but thought it was earlier in the tournament.

He didn’t notify UK that he was talking to Arkansas and under his contract, he is required to notify them for any coaching changes 

I was pretty sure I saw a couple "insiders" say that Cal had let UK know he was talking to Arkansas. I think they were even posted on this site. Norlander might have been one.

For those tracking flights. I just saw on X, a KY account showing a private plane from Chicago go Lexington this morning.  LOL ... that doesn't happen in the middle of an NBA season does it, whether you are in or out of the Playoffs running?

Just going to post this. I laughed when we had people doing it and I'm laughing now.

Trying to get that buyout somehow? 

My understanding is that if he talked to Arkansas without letting UK know, then he is in breach of contract and could be fired without them having to pay the buyout. But I'm not a lawyer so I could be wrong there.

He is leaving. UK isn't going to pay any buyout. The only buyout to be paid would be on his side. So him not telling them doesn't make any difference.

There is no buyout on his side if he decides to leave.

And there is no buyout on UK's side if he decides to leave.

He can’t back out now. UK fans would burn him at the stake

I'm aware of that. My post was if he decided to not go to Arkansas, so I'm not sure of what your point is. Maybe you should read the post you responded to again.

This is the contract provision people are referencing. The language is pretty broad, and you’d need to look at the rest of the contract to see what the consequences would be.

Maybe he is having second thoughts bc he wants to come to IU instead. Lol

My point is that contract term is useless. It is most likely boiler plate. 

Cal either leaves and goes to Arkansas and nobody owes anyone any money. He stays and coaches next year at UK. Or he tries to stay and they end up negotiating a settlement and parting ways and Cal gets another job.

Right. And like I said above, it's boiler plate language for any coaching contract that really has no effect at all. I know this was in Crean's and Archie's and i am betting it is in Woody's too.

[LamarCheeks 18,742]

Per Kentucky radio dude -- Cal asked UK to counter Arkansas' offer. They refused. 

Not sure what he wanted them to offer. He's already making over $8.5M a year on a lifetime contract. 

I guess pad the NIL coffers?

Weird vibe. That had all the charm of a hostage video combined with an awkward break-up.

Dammit!

I was hoping for a hot drama mess.

Maybe they will hire Rick Pitino. Or Ricky Pitino Jr. Or Bruce Pearl. Or Steven Pearl. Or Archie Miller. Or Matt Painter. 

I would like that.
