Shaka would be the absolute wrong hire for IU, so I'm happy for him if he ends up at Texas.   Indiana does not need a system guy who recruits 12 of the same player like Smart does.   That's a little extreme, but the skills of his players don't vary all that much.

Wasn't Tenn speakng with him? He's from the south.

Yes they were until Barry Collier decided to do a Fred Glass move and offered him an extension after one good season.

They did, but looks like Tenn is Barnes job if he wants

I did read his name in connection to the UT job before this. It may have just been that they were interested in him. I have no idea if the interest was reciprocal. Didn't he used to be at Gardner Webb?

Yes, he left to become an assistant at Butler which turned out to be an excellent move. Did the real story ever come out about the coach who resigned at Butler?

That was the rumor.  At the very least it provided Holtmann with some very strong negotiating leverage.  But since Butler is my second favorite school, I'm glad he's staying.   Because it's a private school Butler doesn't have to release salary figures but I think from what I've heard that its head coaching salary has been towards the bottom of the Big East pay scale.

To the best of my knowledge it has been well-guarded.  Rumors that probably have a certain degree of accuracy but nothing concrete enough for me to consider posting.

My younger sister is dating one of the players and I have heard theories but nothing is coming out.
