Alabama (Anthony Grant), DePaul (Oliver Purnell), George Mason (Paul Hewitt) & Charlotte (Alan Major) will be hiring new coaches.
The Georgia Tech & UNC Greensboro AD’s are taking the “it takes time” approach. Apparently, Tech is still paying Hewitt and would owe Gregory a lot if he was fired. I have no idea why Wes Miller is being retained with a four year of 45 – 73 (11-11, 9-22, 14-18 & 11-22). I guess his pedigree is just too great to ignore with the amazing jobs that have been turned in by Jason Capel, Buzz Peterson & Jeff Lebo at other UNC systems universities.
Remember how high Grant’s stock was at VCU? Not anymore.
The Charlotte job is interesting. Would Bobby Hurley be interested? Not a huge step up from Buffalo. What about LeVelle Moton?
Yes, GT is in a tough spot. Read an article recently insinuating they just don’t have the cash to get rid of Gregory this year.
Hewitt’s agent really did a number on Georgia Tech. I would let him negotiate all contracts for me
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! He should definitely boast about that on LinkedIn.

Gotta keep the UNC system ‘in the family’! Look at all the benefits their mafioso system has reaped upon UNC system schools!
Not that they had much choice, but Gregory to return.
Wonder if Wofford’s Mike Young is on anyone’s radar? Would make sense for schools like George Mason, Charlotte or Alabama to look his way – maybe even Clemson if they make the move on Brownell.
GT is screwed and their AD didn’t make it any better with that announcement. Way to kill any recruiting momentum you might have had.
Didn’t Clemson just extend Brownell? Why would they make a move unless they want to bring back Purnell (who I presume would also be high on GT’s radar next season if they can afford him)?
Yes, Brownell got a 6 year extension last year. He’s going to be there a while.
Mike Young is a heck of a coach. Started as an assistant at Wofford in 1989. Been head guy since 2002.
CBS updated their version last night
The Citadel
Out: Chuck Driesell. The son of legendary coach Lefty Driesell, Chuck struggled to establish himself at The Citadel. He had a record of 42-113 in five seasons, and only won one-quarter of his conference games in the SoCon. He never finished higher than 5th in his division in the split-league, and ended his run with an 11-19 season that saw the Bulldogs finish 7th overall in the league with the ignominious honor of having the worst defense in the entire country, according to KenPom’s adjusted defensive efficiency metric. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the administration go in that direction, given that the school has been in the bottom-six teams nationally in that metric for each of the past three seasons.
Chuckie was a player for his dad when I was at State.
Greg Marshall’s name will likely come up again this off-season. He basically says that he won’t leave Wich St for a middle-of-the-pack Power Conference job:

Older article on his salary:
SEC apparently has a new coach
More ‘exciting’ basketball!
Wow. Mississippi St. hiring Howland would be the equivalent of us hiring Jim Tressel. Unbelievable upgrade to SEC basketball.
Bama could probably do better by showing replays of the past season’s football games on the jumbotron instead, and save the salary of a new coach.
Roll Damn Tide.
Bama to possibly make big pitch for Marshall
