Thad Matta Out at OSU

[MrTippet]

I hear there is a former AAU coach at Cal with good connections.

Is anyone else shocked Matta is only 49?

He's had like 5 back surgeries too. That'll sap the life right out of you.

Apparently Shaka is a candidate. Not sure if it would be a good thing leaving Texas at this point.

Shaka better pay them to go there.

Who cares if Matta got canned. The real question is.... are there any of their recruits would could pick off?

Filling the OSU job with a current head coach at another school could lead to a pretty big chain reaction, will be interesting to see what kind of players come available super late in the recruiting game.

 

[Knownothing]

I nominate Brad Underwood

I hope Shaka stays at Texas. If he leaves, then they'll go get someone like Buzz Williams, and he's a much better fit at Texas than Shaka.

I hope Matta lands somewhere else. I enjoy him and his sense of humor. One of my favorite non-ISU or UNI coaches in college basketball.

There's another pretty good coach in the Miller family, Archie's brother Sean. If I am tOSU, he's my first call.

Sure AZ is a great job, but west coast sports doesn't have the visibility of Big10 or ACC. And not at level of Big12.

Arizona is a way better job than Ohio State.

I'd never leave Arizona if I was Miller. He can pretty much pick which West Coast kids he wants

 

[c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s]

Yeah, they really haven't, but I would expect any new coach to be bringing in Top 50 talent pretty easily. Maybe I have too high a view of Ohio State's position in the grand scheme of CBB, though.

I'd say your opinion is spot on....

Not true with Alford at UCLA.

 

[rholtgraves]

Donovan would be a home run hire.

Miller pretty much has Arizona's recruiting on cruise control.

 

[YeahBuddy]

Miller pretty much has Arizona's recruiting on cruise control.

No doubt he does well but there are 4-5 kids just in the 2016 and 2017 classes that UCLA landed who also had AZ offers. To say Miller has his pick of the litter out west is false.

 

[JP4CY]

Miller pretty much has Arizona's recruiting on cruise control.

Think if some of his players didn't jump to the NBA either. If Markkanen stayed, they might be preseason number 1.

That's true, Alford is a really good coach and recruiter
