OT - Tad Matta out of tOSU

[intlzncster]

OSU really is a great job. I bet they wish this would have happened months ago, they would have had Archie Miller no doubt in my mind.

This is why it was absolutely stupid to wait until 'recruiting ended'. Someone in here said that it was a good idea which is laugh out loud. They just handcuffed the sh|t out if themselves.

Iirc same person also said uconn should consider doing this. Bananaland stuff

Cooley already politely declined to be considered. BE comes out of this looking stronger. This is a top job.

Bold move by Cooley. He has a deep class coming in too. Smart move.

Considerate of him, but he's not getting that job.

True, neither are you nor I. Although I apparently jumped the gun (not surprising) His agent was contacted today, either way your version or mine he's staying. Good for one of us.

 

[Fishy]

He's won all of one NCAA game in a decade and a half.

If his agent is getting calls - and this reeks of the 'turn down the job you're not getting' gambit - you and I are not far behind.

Ohio State never really had a shot at Sean Miller nor did they think they did. They may have had a shot if timing were better, but this season of all seasons they weren't prying Miller away. They knew that. Never thought otherwise.

They made a firm offer to Chris Mack and loose offers to Billy Donovan and Chris Holtmann. Donovan never really said no but the money kinda turned Ohio State off to the idea. Holtmann never turned down Ohio State, he just wanted more time than OSU wanted to give back on Tuesday. However, after going through McDermott and some other guys yesterday, OSU revived talks today with Holtmann. Things are getting pretty serious.

Basically it's looking like Holtmann could wind up being the guy for OSU.

With the money that a school like Ohio State has (very few generate what they do), they always have a shot at anyone they want
The weather may have been a factor as well as the present OSU roster
It is a job that places you under a huge microscope so it is no wonder that someone like Cooley said no, the heat is nowhere as hot in Providence
I am surprised at Hoiberg - seems to me to be a really great fit

Yep, but truthfully if you look objectively you know what he has done at a school that literally was on deaths door. We don't have to agree on his value to other schools, to my school he is invaluable.

Chris Holtmann. Butler's loss.

Crean to Butler would be awesome.

Personally I would take the job, not sure about you. I might be too old although I'm 55 and I look like Thad Matta's kid.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Chlamydia maybe, but not this.

Jon Rothstein said on the FAN the other day that Motta was fired due to players transferring out, swinging and missing on his top targets, and failing to fill spot needs this year with post-grads. Hmmm.
