UCLA, no surprise.
Minnesota? Seems like a classic case of a university and AD that has no sense of self-awareness whatsoever. Tubby Smith was a steal for them and he had success. This is a program that's somewhere between "average" and "dumpster fire" and they're about to pay Tubby Smith $2.5 million to fire him so that they can overpay a retread or this year's NCAA tourney lotto winner (FGCU coach?) $3 million a year to pick up the scraps from Michigan, MSU, OSU, etc. Who wants that job? Crazy.

Crazy. Tubby was 46-62 in Conference play. He never finished above .500 in the B1G. He had a talented and experienced team this year and managed to lose to Northwestern, Nebraska and Purdue and the team got worse as the season progressed and consistently looked like they had no game plan and had never seen a zone before. He was a bad coach who had a mediocre season and was going to have a much less talented team next year. He was a slightly better version of Esherick after the Sweet 16. He just got fired a year before the program bottomed out. Also, Minnesota hired the AD from VCU in the fall. He had a lot of success hiring coaches there. I think he'll make a good hire for the Gophers |

Sad to see Tubby Smith let go. Tubby was a better man than coach. Look for Minn offer the job to a hot young impressive coach...... Howland no surprise either. How many other BE coaches led their team to more final fours than Howland. I look for him to get another very good college job or an NBA assistant job.

Always thought Tubby was a great get for Minnesota and it just didn't play out that way.
As for UCLA, there is no reason that school shouldn't be competing for a final four every year and their fans should expect it. Most coaches would kill for the assets that UCLA has. Recruiting for that school is easy but meeting expectations is near impossible.

How Pastner can go from dog house to contract extension with one NCAA win is beyond me. I also don't understand how his name was being mentioned for some of the open coaching positions.

They probably see a lot of potential in him once he hits puberty.

I'm guessing the wife had something to say about that offer. Look for her on a reality show soon.

Mrs. Enfield will be a good fit in SoCal, while her flaver of the month husband takes over at USC, thanks to our Hoyas. |
