Let the Carousel begin!

Soooooo close!
I predicted Butler would be the first to go, and she was 2nd.

As usual, underperformance from Ms Butler

And just a reminder of Ms Butlers history. Never liked her after this:

Commentary: Amanda Butler has dropped the ball on Sydney Moss’ transfer request

Florida Gators coach Amanda Butler has told Sydney Moss that she will not be allowed to play for another BCS program, an extreme measure in response to a player’s desire to transfer.

I had to look up Sydney Moss after reading that article about Butler blocking Moss’ transfer. She’s head coach at Willmington College now. From her bio:

“One of the most decorated players in NCAA Division III women's basketball history, Moss transferred to Thomas More after one season at the University of Florida where she was named Southeastern Conference (SEC) Freshman of the Year. In three years as a Saint, she lost a total of one game en route to consecutive NCAA Division III national championships (2015 was later vacated). Moss was named National Player of the Year three consecutive seasons by three organizations (WBCA, D3hoops.com, DIII News) and averaged over 22 points, seven rebounds and three assists per game in each of her three seasons. Moss has two degrees from Thomas More - a bachelor of arts in communication and master of arts in ethical leadership.”
 
Here's a thought for your consideration.
I ran across this blurb of Raoul's from earlier this month and it had to do with the very successful tenure of Jackson State's Tomekia Reed, who has dominated the SWAC, working out of her hometown. If memory holds, she and Jackson State played tough in the NCAA's. Her contract is up next month. Is she ready for prime time? Remember, Coach Yo came from a mid-major?


 
On the men’s side there have already been a couple p5 announcements today, for teams that lost yesterday or the day before.

This is what I thought would happen with the women’s coaches.

I like Susie Gardner. I always felt she wasn't really given a fair chance at Arkansas and was happy when she found some success at Mercer.

She was godawful at Arkansas. She is a nice person, and a very solid mid-major coach, but completely out of her depth in P5. To compound the problem, she could not recruit at all.
 
Wonder who some of the top options for Kentucky will be. Continue to hear Walz thrown around but I just don't see that happening at all.
 
3 years ? At CalSt?
Yes the record this year was really bad (3-27) and not sure I wouldn’t have done the same but …. It’s 3 years.

Nice person. Excellent Associate HC at Rutgers. Awful as a head coach in 2 tours, both in California. UCSB and CSUN.

We saw her team play when she was at UCSB and my take was that she was asking too much skill of the players at the level she had. We at Arizona certainly saw our former Coach Butts struggle with the same thing. I don't know what happened at her latest stop, but I doubt anyone is going to give her a 3rd chance.

CS Bakersfield

Good luck to whoever gets this job. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Bakersfield has absolutely no appeal to draw in any decently talented recruits. Forget the non-existence of athletics (they don’t advertise them at all), it’s not even a nice place to live.

Unless they somehow get a really talented local star, they’re going to languish at the bottom of their conference forever.

Still a better job than Chicago St.

But at least it's uncomfortably hot most of the time.

You don’t know em, but you don’t like em. Maybe the next coach just wants a chance to be themselves.

Have to imagine Mike Neighbors seat is heating up at Arkansas. They underachieved when they had Dungee and Co, they missed the tournament back to back years and have 2 of their top players now transferring. He'll probably get another year or 2 but they're trending in the wrong direction after a promising start.

I do know them. I lived in Bakersfield for almost 4 years and I try to watch all the Roadrunner's WBB games when I can. They are fighting an uphill battle on many fronts. I wasn't hating on any incoming coach, just hoping they can do something with nothing.
 


Saw this last night and was thinking... First Western Carolina, now App State.... What about the other NC mountain school
 
Boom.. All three NC schools with mountains as neighbors are looking for a new coach

I would’ve thought you would view a 4th Carolina school as being on a mountain. Of cheating.
 
I had heard Carly Thibault-DuDonis was a serious contender for the Kentucky job, but she just signed an extension with Fairfield.

That makes me think Kentucky's AD has his decision made and we should hear something pretty soon.
