[huskdogs]

For halloway, how many coach’s that are HC at their Alma matter in a power conference have ever voluntarily left for another power conference job? Dont see it happening

Article from ESPN. Butler, PC and Georgetown mentioned. Although they say Cooley is due so much money that Georgetown will probably give him another year to try to figure it out.

I think the unexpected loss of Thomas Sorber really set Georgetown back this year as I don't think Cooley expected him to be a one and done. Obviously, he would have been injured (ACL) and missed this season, but, if healthy, Georgetown would have been a much better team with him this year.

Should Providence hire him?

I didn't realize that Bobby Hurley has never even made it to the first weekend. He's 0-4 in tourney games across 13 seasons as a coach. Eww.

Don't know why I thought he'd won a couple of games.

He won a couple play-in games.

They pretty much had two players who played major minutes for them last year on this roster.

Cooley has had some bad luck, but it’s put up or shut up time next year.

Is "Phil T" a yarder? I chuckled when I read his,comment to the "Kim English Possible Replacements" article on The Athletic

Phil T. 20h 29m ago

"@Seth W. living in Connecticut, I'm close enough to know that Providence fans have the patience of an angry drunk looking to barge his way into the next bar to fire down a couple shots and pick a fight. They're a miserable fan base and I don't know why anybody would want to coach there.....The environment in Providence is so toxic, nobody can win there."

Thad Matta is only 58 years old. I'm pretty sure he'll return.

Wait, what? No way he's only 8yrs older than me, he looks like he could be my grandfather.

He's looked 65 since he was 35.

To be fair, he had some actual health issues along the way.

Thad Matta doesn't qualify but since he has been mentioned in this thread. Thad played at Butler 1987-1990. Head coach at Butler 2000-2001. Then head coach at Xavier, Ohio State, and Butler. Of course Butler was in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 2000 and moved to the Horizon Conference in 2001 while Xavier was in the A-10 so that was a step up.

He was 40 in 2008 at Ohio State? Wow.
