The ACC Coaching Welcome Wagon is Worn Out

With the ACC coaching carousel finally coming to a stop with the hiring of Mark Turgeon at Maryland, 8 of the 12 ACC schools have made a coaching change in the last three years. This sort of coaching turnover is almost unprecedented in a basketball-first league like the ACC and turnover at even half [...]

Turgeon leaves College Station for College Park

 

I got that "coach pointing move" thing down too

“He was always one of the top people on our list” – Maryland AD  Kevin Anderson

mmmhmmm, ok *cough*Gottfried*cough*.

Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon has accepted Maryland’s offer to become their new head basketball coach.  He replaces Gary Williams who retired last [...]

Miller Says No to Maryland

Sean Miller Tells Kevin Anderson Where To Put Maryland's Coaching Gig

So much for all of the Sean Miller to Maryland talk.  Miller has already squashed that rumor, and has now signed an extension with Arizona.  Nice read from Andy Katz about Miller and what he is doing at Arizona.

Funny twist to this [...]

Gary Williams Retires

After “sabotaging” Debbie Yow’s coaching search, Maryland’s Gary Williams has decided to retire from coaching after 33 years.

This, along with Gus Johnson parting ways with CBS. No more “Rise and Fire” during #NCAAT. What is the college basketball world coming to?

Yow Gott Her Man

Gottfried already has a coveted Red Jacket

It has been a few weeks now since Debbie Yow hired one Mark Gottfried to be the new men’s head basketball coach at NC State University.  At first, everyone was surprised, if not shocked by the hire.  No one expected Gottfried to be the guy.  Anyone that [...]

5:00PM Announcement from NC State

Press Conference at 5PM at the Dale Center to announce NC State’s new basketball coach.  Word on the Street…Mark Gottfried.  Gottfried was the Head Coach at Alabama from 1998-2009.  Gottfried’s Wiki page already has him listed as replacing Sidney Lowe at NC State.

He was on Jim Harrick’s staff at UCLA with Steve Lavin and [...]

Debbie Yow Sends Letter to Wolfpack Club

With yesterday’s complete decimation of the NC State wish list for a head basketball coach, we are all left to wonder what, or who, will be next.  Shaka Smart, staying at VCU (for a lot less money).  Greg Marshall, staying at Wichita State.  Mick Cronin, staying at Cincy.  All within several hours of each other.  [...]

Iron Man Shaka Staying at VCU

Shaka Smart doing the “Iron Man” drill at the Final Four.

Looks like Shaka wont be doing this drill at the RBC Center anytime soon.  The hot coach of the moment who led his team to an amazing run to the Final Four, has decided to stay at VCU.  This coming from multiple sources….here….and [...]

Rick Barnes Was in Raleigh This Past Weekend?

According to George Cox of Raycom Sports, Rick Barnes was home in North Carolina this past weekend.  His sources tell him that while Barnes was there, he swung over to Raleigh and met with one Deborah Yow.  This coincides with Yow being MIA at the Final Four in Houston, where everyone thought and expected she [...]

Frank Haith Next Coach at Mizzou?

According to everyone under the Sun, he will be announced in the next 48 hours.  Things sure do get hot while I am sleeping.  Mizzou either knows they are out of the Shaka Smart running, or simply think they have a diamond in the rough with Haith.  Or they panicked.  Judging by the fact that [...]
