    Dixon to TCU.
    rumors of Cronin to UNLV?
    Greg Gard in at Wiscy (not really a change there with Bo Ryans retirement)

    Glad someone started this.

    Carryover from previous posts…..Archie to Pitt? (certainly hope not)

    Archie to Pitt? (certainly hope not)

    I hope not as well, but I can’t say a small part of me would not be entertained by the reactions ’round here.

    Oklahoma State got the best coach available, no question. Brad Underwood is hands down my favorite basketball coach. His teams show no emotion and they give you every darn thing they got. My good friend is a Kansas State alum (’08) and was freaking pissed that they didn’t hire him.

    I can tell you, by talking to somebody very close to Sean last night, that Sean feels that Pitt is a great place to visit, but barring something unforeseen…Sean Miller doesn’t have interest in leaving Arizona to come back to his alma mater,” Rothstein said. “So now, if you’re a resident of western Pennsylvania, it’s best that you turn the page from that chapter.”

    Rothstein also doesn’t expect Archie Miller to take over the Pitt’s head coaching duties.

    “Archie Miller, right now, is in a situation where he has become the new Shaka Smart of the Atlantic 10,” Rothstein said. “Dayton is a perennial top 25 or top 30 program. He’s obviously been given certain resources at Dayton, which he’s very comfortable with. So, I think Archie Miller, too, isn’t a slam dunk to leave Dayton, anyway…He has a program in place to already be at the level which Pitt is trying to get to.”

    Not worth more than any other article; but combines common sense with something to temporarily soothe State fans. After all, did anyone really expect Sean to leave Arizona for Pitt?

    Using Arch’s favourite band, the reactions would range from:

    Speaking of coaches’ favorite music, K’s is Beyoncé. Seriously? The man never stops recruiting. If he was coaching the Peoria Kindergarten Rattlers, his favorite musician would be Raffi.

    When he was recruiting G. Allen I’m sure K was in to Nickelback.

    sounds like Pitt is making a real run at Archie. heard its unlikely, but he is listening.

    What does Dayton have coming back next year. i would think if he has a good team coming back he will stay one more year and get a better offer. If he doesnt have a good squad lined up for next year, he is probably more inclined to bolt this year.

    CBS is still pumping the Herbster

    Herb Sendek (former Arizona State/NC State head coach)

    Sendek has taken three different schools to the NCAA Tournament — including North Carolina State, an ACC member, five straight times from 2002 to 2006. He grew up in Pittsburgh and graduated from Carnegie Mellon. So he’s a local guy with a résumé filled with accomplishments. He’s won more than 400 games at the Division I level.

    Do any of these guys who are becoming ex-head coaches move into consideration for our assistant coach position?

    Archie has 4 starters coming back, I believe. I think he waits to next season and makes a move. I don’t blame Jamie Dixon for leaving. Pitt is in the same boat as us. Mid-tier team with a couple of good runs here and there to blue ball us all. Texas is a hot bed for players and TCU isn’t going to have the high expectations (yet) that Pitt has year after year.

    Parrish has an interesting take on the carousel….never stay any where long enough for the fans to get tired of you.

    With a title like that, I’m surprised that he didn’t work around to Herb.

    We said that on SFN like 12 years ago. Once you get to the 7-8 year mark, you should either be on your way to being a “ring of honor” type, or probably thinking of moving on.

    Also, Dawkins out at Stanford (and in at UCF). Interesting to see who they hire.

    “Been told by multiple sources Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin and UNLV are headed in the direction of a marriage. Talks still ongoing, though.”

    Archie and Dayton EXTEND their Pre-Nup…until 2023.

    Archie Miller, Dayton Agree on New Contract: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction

    Did not realize that Archie was 37. Now THAT makes me feel OLD….as I watched him at the PNC.

    The beat goes on….

    Ben Jacobson of Northern Iowa (from fame to shame…..in the TX A&M fiasco) is making around $550 – $600K. He signed a 10 year extension last year. His shining star got a bit dimmer after he had no alternative for his star, who was the inbound passer.

    Don’t think that Stanford or other schools are fueling up the plane for a trip to Iowa….but YOU NEVER KNOW…..he COULDA been the next Shaka…

    Re: Tech financials:

    Georgia Tech will owe Gregory more than $1.3 million for the final two years of his contract. Hewitt, who took a $7.2 million buyout after he was fired in 2011, is still owed $2.7 million from the school over the next three years.
