The coaching carrousel is in motion. South Carolina hires Kansas State's Frank Martin. .... Miss State and Illinois searching. I wonder if someone will approach Seaton Hall's Williard and Rutgers Ray Rice.....

Illinois already rejected by Shaka Smart and Brad Stevens. How the mighty have fallen. Didn't they play for the NCAA championship just a few years ago?

Smart and Stevens seem content where they are. I don't see the upside in Illinois being worth the risk. Everything I've heard is that Chicago has great talent but really tough to recruit out of unless you are willing to get dirty.

Ohio Univ's Groce is apparently Illinois's new head coach, quite a climbdown from their initial aspirations.

Ohio Univ's Groce is apparently Illinois's new head coach, quite a climbdown from their initial aspirations. Perhaps, but they couldn't have gotten a better hire, I don't think. Groce was Thad Matta's key recruiter at Xavier and at Ohio State before going to Ohio -- I believe he was considered the person most responsible for the Oden, Conley, Buford, etc., class. This Ohio team seemed reasonably well coached as well. He's not the name, but that's a really nice hire. |

I agree with SF. Seems like the guy can coach and recruit. Not to mention NCAA wins over Michigan and some other team I can't recall and a near upset of UNC on his belt. He may not have been to the Final Four like Smart and Stevens, but it still seems like a very solid hire.

Tenn State coach takes job at Miami (Ohio). Terrible lost for TSU, great hire for Miami of Ohio. TSU lost a tough game to Murray that prevented a trip to NCAA tourney.

LSU's Trent Johnson to TCU. LSU will be a good opportunity for a young up-and-coming coach.

To me too! I could see a coach moving from TCU to LSU. I thought that LSU extended Johnson's contract.

One of the most storid jobs in college athletics is now officially open. Pat Summett announced her resignation from UTenn after 38 years. It will be difficult for any basketball coach to match her great record.... 1,098 total wins, and 8 championships. Summett was much more than a coach. Her graduation rate was among the best ~100%. She was a pioneer in the intergration movement. Her early teams were made up with Black athletes when intergration was not yet a reality in the south. Summett was not one of the coaches that was always looking for the next/better job. She belong in the conversation with Eddie Robinson, Bowden, Paterno, and Wooten for her dedication for building and maintaining a great program...... Best wishes Pat.

Agree with these sentiments, but think you forgot some guy named Wooden (unless that's who you meant by Wooten - thought you were referencing the DeMatha coach). Also, there's no e in Summitt. |
