Doubt you step down and hand the reigns to your kid if you haven’t done the work to avoid an exodus

Commenting on the Pearl announcement, Trilly Donovan said "two more coaches in the crosshairs."

Poor choice of words this month by Trilly.

Anyway

Izzo and Self do seem like the next up to retire.

I wonder how much more Cal has in the tank.  His ego is so big I think he'll try to coach as long as possible.

NCAA rules former G League player Thierry Darlan eligible for Santa Clara

Seems like a sort of wild precedent...

Not that it wasn’t already dead, but the NCAA has officially killed off even the slightest notion of college sports as an amateur endeavor, A player who played 2 years of professionall basketball in this country. So no weird amateurism elements to rationalize for an international kid. A straight up American Pro will now play for a college.

Coach Hoodie is asking his girlfriend to give his waiver for Tom Brady to have an additional year of eligibility a once over as we speak

I'm pretty sure Coach Hoodie wants to keep his girlfriend as far away from Tom Brady as possible.

A funny little thought experiment...

Jeff Teague is 37 and has 2 years of college eligibility left. 

Would he or a guy in a similar situation consider such a deal for the right price? Lol

Just an extreme example of the tomfoolery that will probably come about in the near future.

The example that immediately came to my mind, no idea why, was Kendall Brown. Played 1 year of college. Came out too early. Was a 2-way guy for the Pacers and Nets and and got kind of stuck in the G-League and signed a 2-way with the Celtics. But he’s probably 21 and after that much time playing pro basketball and with his athletic tools he’d have an impact in college. If it doesn’t happen next year in Boston what would stop him from exploring going back to Baylor?

Not sure Tom is old enough for her

I hate to defend the NCAA but I see what they’re doing here. I don’t see what separates him from any of these kids, including our own, that played professionally in Europe. He’s not a US high school player. He didn’t play in the NBA. He went from the African academy to a low level pro league very similar to what the European kids who get ncaa eligibility do. The only thing that separates the G league from a run of the mill euro league is location, but I’m not sure why that would matter in this case.

Interesting. So, all of the power conferences turned over an average 8-9 roster spots per school.

This is pretty interesting. I wonder how many  other schools in the SEC/B1G/Big 12 have more ticket revenue from basketball than football? Wouldn’t think there are any because Rupp is so much bigger than most arenas. Also explains why they don’t play Maui or Atlantis-type events if they’re more dependent on home game ticket revenue than everyone else. Got  to be pretty embarrassing for UKFB if they’re the only top conference school in that boat.

Pre-Cig we were.  FY23 MBB was $12.2M and FB was $10.2M.

I don’t have last year’s ticket sales numbers, but I’m pretty sure FB overtook MBB.  This year the gap should been even larger, obviously, with more tix sold at higher prices.

This is a big deal. Penney was Gard’s OC. The changes they made there were that guy.

UGH - Brad Davison taking his place.  He and Krabbenhoft on the same bench will be insufferable!
