Also, how the **** does Romar still have a job at UW? He hasn't made the NCAAs since Fred's first year here, and he won 2 conference games this year with the #1 NBA prospect. Going with Cuonzo and the Porters to Mizzou would be smart.
Coaching Fires and Hires
- Thread starter FinalFourCy
- Start date
We will be down next year, for our standards, yes. but Mizzou is in the sewer. We get 2 games with them the next 2 years as they are "re-building" and we should probably win both of them.All while they have a highly-regarded coach, and potentially a top-level recruit. Not terrible situation, and possibility for a win.
Just going to leave this here.

It is done.Based on what? That would be way out-performing anything in his coaching history.
also, I looked up his Wikipedia page and it lists him as the current coach at Missouri, so that must be a done deal
Read the post again. He would be leaving his God Father to go play for his dad.
I really think our team is going to exceed expectations next year. Young, dumb mistakes will abound but I really think they win some games on just pure talent., especially seeing the development of Donovan Jackson this year.
I completely agree, I think we will be right around the bubble all year. Winning some games we probably shouldn't, as well as dropping some that we probably shouldn't. I am not sold on them being a complete re-build, especially depending on what is being brought in via the JuCo or Grad Transfer route.

Washington has parted ways with Lorenzo Romar, sources told ESPN.

Tony Bennett at Illinois would bring the conference to an even slower pace, gross. Not sure he'd take it even with that amount of money being thrown around.
I wonder if Bennett waits until Wisconsin opens up before leaving Virginia. Wisconsin did not want their current coach - Ryan retired mid year so his guy would be named interim basically forcing Wisconsin to hire him. One year not making the tourney and he is probably gone. Maybe next year with who they lose.
Well I didn't see Washington firing Romar this year. Him getting fired changes everything.
