A coach turning down an interview with North Carolina because he wants to stay at Iowa? Wow, what a world we're living in now.

People consistently overestimate in general how much P5 to P5 movement there is. The top schools will always take swings but still quite often end up with some lower level coach or high major assistant (or in this case, a guy who has never been a college HC at all).

Especially today. Buyouts being larger Is much bigger ask in today's landscape with revenue sharing.
 
Interesting events occurring at the UofA now that Tommy Lloyd has signed his contract extension rejecting overtures from UNC.

As reported Sunday in the Arizona Daily Star, the new contract gives Lloyd more control over the financial support for his roster budget. UofA's president, Suresh Garimella will now have a more direct role in working with Lloyd on his program's finances.

This all sounded very similar to the comments made following TJ's revised contract.

Lloyd also said he wants his program to be a locomotive with everyone at the school pushing in the same direction.

In Monday's paper, it was revealed that Tommy Lloyd will report directly to UofA's president, rather than Athletic Director Desiree Reed-Francois. Obviously Lloyd and the AD did not see eye to eye. This also sounds similar to reported conflicts between TJ and Campbell vs. Pollard.

Arizona's AD has been on the job for two years, she inherited a $75M debt from the previous AD and by all accounts has eliminated it. She has been good at developing new sources of income for the athletic department, but now she may be on thin ice.

Didn’t she just just basically write off the debt?

With all the Donovan talk, the Bulls fired exec VP and the GM today.
 
Is this pretty much the end of P4 job openings unless something surprising happens? Didn't seem like many this year.

Agreed on this he has almost no experience recruiting and his best time in the NBA was with the best player on the planet. That same player that wasn’t sad to see him depart.

No real ties to the university and when no other NBA team wants a championship winning coach that’s a really bad sign. Hell the NBA loves hiring doc rivers over and over just to fail based on one championship
And Rivers’ championship was because of asst coach Thibodeau’s defense.

Ok fine but most years feels like more. Georgia Tech, Boston college seem open every other year so didn't even think about those 2.

Last year off top of my head had:
Texas
Indiana
Villanova
Maryland
Iowa
Texas A&M
NC State
Minnesota
Miami
Florida State

Numbers are pretty similar but I think quality last year was better.
 
Only 2 months ago I figured Moser was toast at OU. If hes retained, his sear next year is very warm.
