Coaching openings

Im in shock. Not sure why they couldn't have waited a few days and do this back in Winston-Salem. Thats gonna be a lonnnnnng drive home.

 
An she was an alum.. And arguably the second besr player in school history

 
Very strange timing. Now any players who wish to transfer out/in are going to have to file waiver requests to be eligible this coming season since the May 1 deadline has passed.

Well, if you're going to let her go, right after the regular season would've been the time to do so, in order to attract best possible candidates. So, that isn't gonna happen.Plus, there's always a churn in personnel and Wake is once again late to the party of folks that have left other schools. However, that doesn't mean players won't leave the Deacons given Hoover's departure. The person I'm thinking of is Jewell Spear, the sharp shooting who come fit right in with a team that needs a (very) good outside stroke.

Oh, btw, note Hoover saying "without cause." Think that might be revisited in another court?

Stay tuned.

You'd think they'd get it given that the coach has been relieved....

Transfers out, yes; but, still have to go through the hassle of filing waiver requests.

Transfers in? Not as likely to have waivers approved. It's as if Wake just hurt their program overall by not doing this in early April.

I found that very odd that the official WF site published that comment. They certainly weren't obligated to do so.

To me, the comment implies there was no wrongdoing on her part (other than not winning enough), and she will be paid the entire amount her contract stipulates for being terminated without cause. Not sure there's any need for a court/judgement.
 
Is this the same Currie who lasted less than a year as AD at Tennessee, the same tone deaf gent who hired Greg Schiano (of Sandusky Penn State fame)?

Hmmmm… Wikipedia thinks it's the dude who was run out of Knoxville on a rail by those oh-so-virtuous Tenn. fans.

“Currie took over as athletic director on February 28, 2017.Currie was dismissed on December 1, 2017 after 8 months on the job due to a failed coaching search that included the decision to agree to terms with Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano. The Schiano recruitment led to a large protest by fans in part due to Schiano's alleged failure to report the sexual assault of children by former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.“

I feel like in a case like this players should be able to get a waiver if they the school got rid of a coach this late in the year. Seems like terrible management by the school to do it now, it puts everyone in a bind.

No if a coach is fired after May 1st, they have until June 1st.

Thanks for clearing that up, fair for the players now to make a decision if they do want to venture elsewhere

Good to know. I've never seen that stipulated anywhere before. That only applies to the "head" coach, and not assistant coaches? What if the coach "quits" on their own instead of being "fired" ?

Because there’s been a coaching change the players can still enter the transfer portal and have until July 1 to do so, according to Currie.

@Sifaka is correct.

This is also the same John Currie who , as Kansas State AD, came under fire for the handling of Leticia Romero’s transfer back in 2014. Initially, Kansas State completely denied her release.
Later, the administration said it would release her, but to none of the 100 schools she had included when K-State requested a list of programs in which she might be interested.
There was a LOT of negative backlash (including from Jay Bilas), and Currie/Kansas State finally consented to let Romero transfer (which she did, to Florida State; the NCAA later granted FSU’s petition to allow her to immediately play for the Seminoles).

Ashley Williams Returns to NC State as Assistant Coach - NC State University Athletics

Interesting addition for NC State. Bringing back an alum is always good. Spent her last four years at Indiana where their guard play was strong. Curious to see who will be the post coach with Batth now at Michigan though.
 


Ball Out is teasing something about Rutgers making a decision soon. Their "hot takes" have been a tad more accurate than others. The article link is behind a paywall FYI.

Well, I'm not putting a lot of faith in their "tease", but a Rutgers insider had been expecting an announcement possibly as early as Friday (2 days ago).

He was hearing that Megan Duffy had an inside track, Jolette Law was possibly being considered, a couple other names that would not be "big time". Several candidates, including Chris Dailey, Kim Barnes-Arico, Carla Berube, Chelsea Newton, etc. said no, reportedly. Supposedly Law was being pushed by Staley and CVS. But who really knows.
