Trilly implying it's basically to make sure "his guy" gets the gig

If I'm the AD I tell Tony and "his guy" that I will be doing a full coaching search and will hire "my guy" in the Spring.

It’s never a good thing when Head Coaches put themselves before/think they are bigger than the program and try to play kingmaker. People should focus more on their jobs and less on internal politics. But I suppose you could say that about every organization these days.

Those 2 are legit. Rutgers pulling Bailey is an AllTimer. Kid is phenomenal and will be a top 3 pick if not number 1. Luckily their supporting team is deficient but those 2 gonna put up numbers.

Rutgers is already not a top half B1G team and they are a Bailey or Harper sprained ankle away from being a very bad team. Ballo and Malik are absolutely gonna destroy them. And I very much look forward to Gallo wearing Harper down - Gallo is a perfect matchup for Harper, and Carlyle, Leal, and maybe Newton and Rice aren't bad choices either.

Am I the only one that thinks Dolson should give Woody a big raise and extension to prevent him from getting poached by UVA ?

Gave a quick listen to Tony Bennett's presser today. 

His health is fine. Apparently his decision had nothing to do with his parents' health, either. 

Seems as if he's had enough of the monsters that NIL and the portal have become. Said he thought about stepping down after last season, but decided to wait -- wanted to see how things played out, and wanted to have one of his staff take over. 

"I think it's right for student-athletes to receive revenue. Please don't mistake me. But the game -- college athletics -- is not in a healthy spot. It's not, and there needs to be change. 

"It's not gonna go back, and I think I was equipped to do this job the old way. That's who I am. 

"It's gonna be a culture -- to a professional model. There's gotta be collective bargaining. There has to be a restriction on the salary pool that teams can spend. There has to be transfer regulations. 

"... I worry about the mental health of the student-athletes as all this stuff comes down ..."

All valid points.

And in their 1st performance post-Bennett UVA loses their scrimmage to Virginia Commonwealth by 22. I think they were missing a couple of kids but that right there might telll the story.

In Dusty May’s Michigan debut they beat a really well-coached Oakland team by 44 and hit 15 3’s.

Temple guard Lynn Greer III and assistant coach Chris Clark have been suspended for "separate and unrelated" violations, Temple announced. Greer's violations occurred while he was at St. Joe's.

Philadelphia Inquirer has a story on this but it's behind a paywall.

Quite a shocker.  Only 43 years old.
