Coaching openings

[Dillon77]

So ... another P5 team going pinch penny instead of pursuing excellence!

Oh, a snide one/zinger from South Beach?
That said, was there anyone you had in mind? Or just a general bomb thrown up the state capitol on behalf of Katie Meier?

Oof, good luck to whoever gets saddled with that job. 8-63 since 2019 (including the Morgan Valley years), dropping down to D3 next season. What's not to like?

He's been a mainstay with VT (VPI) for some time. Will be interesting to see who Brooks brings in to replace him.

I really like the hire - it was an obvious one and just surprised it wasn't finalized before the retirement announcement.
The comment was aimed at a poster maybe on AZ State thread who felt teams were making poor hires to save money rather than trying to steal coaches from other P5 programs.

Read speculation that former Texas A&M associate head coach, Kelly Bond-White will be hired as Southern Illinois' new head coach.

WOW...............that is something.

Isn't this the AC who took offense to VanDerveer's comments prior to the Texas - Stanford match up?

I have no idea... not really sure what all of that was about.

She was a guard on the 2002 Oklahoma team that proved to be a tough out for Sue and company.

Yes.

 

[cancontent]

Yes.

Thanks. Thought I recognized the name.

Here's the source.

I for one ABSOLUTELY ECHO Tara's comments and concerns and they aptly apply to Coach Abe now at Georgia. Basketball is designed to be free flowing game of movement and not constant blocking, grabbing and pushing. The goal as if Ms. Shaeffer wasn't aware, is to put the ball in the basket and not be physically assaulted every time you try to do that.

 

[ProSkeptic]

Georgia players bout to hit the portal…

Particularly if they don’t like wearing shoulder pads.

 

[triaddukefan]

Well crap

 

[UConnCat]

Good for Cunningham. Lawson has some work to do.

 

[Dillon77]

Well crap

I couldn't be more pleased to see Beth get a HC gig again. She looked comfortable on the sidelines when she spelled Coach Lawson for a few games. Go Beth! (Wonder if she'll give any of the recent ND transfers a call?)

[Big12wbbFan]

Very good hire for West Virginia. I think she can make West Virginia competitive which will be good for the Big 12.

 

[Dillon77]

Whoa...that's it for the P5 conference openings, right?

 

[LETTERL]

I really like Coach Plitzuweit; watching South Dakota advance in the NCAAT and hearing both she and her players handle themselves at the press conferences was impressive. I hope Coach P has much success at West Virginia...and I'm thrilled she's going to get an opportunity to coach at a big-time program.

 

[dws3665]

... I'm thrilled she's going to get an opportunity to coach at a big-time program.

But I thought she was going to WVU? (rimshot!)

 

[LETTERL]

But I thought she was going to WVU? (rimshot!)

I deserve that...and certainly set myself up for a slap, didn't I?

 

[dws3665]

So, with all the P5 positions now filled, who do we think are the winners/losers?

In the winner category, I would vote for Illinois and WVU.

For losers, Oklahoma State and Arizona State (I'm actually a Delaware alum and a Coach Adair fan, but I don't know how her record at UD translates to a P5 job).

 

[Basket]

Wow Guess Coach Mac stays at BC. I like this hire

 

[DefenseBB]

I am curious now who gets the SD job as they have had remarkable success replacing each of the last 3 coaches. Talk about a dynasty…

 

[WestsideWaltz]

NM St hires Jody Adams-Birch. LOL

 

[Dillon77]

I like this hire, too.
Re: Coach Mac staying at BC -- she may be staying but where are her players going? Both starters and subs are in the portal? From a 20+ win team?
