The Will Wade news dropped within the hour - fired with cause at LSU b/c of a Notice Of Allegations that was released earlier in the week. As far as I know, LSU is still going to play in the NCAA Tournament this year.

[Xville]

I can’t believe lsu actually fired him. I figured they were a school that was more of a anything goes type school as long as you’re winning

[GoMuskies]

Smart of them to wait until after the NCAA notice came out. Saving a lot of money.

[joe titan]

Haight @ Tulsa "resigned".

[GIMMFD]

This thread is gonna be so damn fun this year.

[Xville]

Gotta add the mack attack

[STL_XUfan]

Haight @ Tulsa "resigned".
I have no doubt that he will somehow get a new job and a raise. His agent is a magician

[X-band '01]

Add Ben Howland to the list of coaches fired in the SEC. Now 4 coaches fired between the start and the end of the SEC Tournament.

Just read something there could be as many as 6 opened in the conference.

[noteggs]

Think there is some guy from Duke who is not coming back next year. Not sure but believe ESPN reported on this 1 or 2 times over the past year.

[X-band '01]

Except that vacancy has been filled.

[SM#24]

Except that vacancy has been filled.
Would be nice to have it on the list to have it complete; also you usually put the other replacements in. Just my 2 cents. I do appreciate this thread every year.

[GoMuskies]

Mike White out at Florida and in at Georgia.

[Xville]

Mike White out at Florida and in at Georgia.

That’s some weird shit

[Xavgrad08]

UGA writer is saying substantial buzz about Jonas Hayes being hired as an assistant at UGA. Mike white apparently tried to hire Jonas in the past. https://mobile.twitter.com/DawgOutWest/status/1503146805621665799 Nothing finalized, but can’t blame Jonas for leaving.

[GoMuskies]

That's pretty tough, though, as there was so much buzz about him getting the head job there.

[xuphan]

Any news about Travis Steele?

[GoMuskies]

Xavier has not yet fixed the glitch.

[boozehound]

Not sure I can bring myself to give a shit about anyone on this staff moving on, but it would seem strange if Hayes went to UGA as an assistant.

[X-band '01]

I think UGA wised up and realized being the top assistant on a sinking ship might not have been their best option. Even for a former UGA alum.

But still, going to an archrival after you had a subpar season at Florida? Something smells awfully weird about this.

Show of hands - does this look better now?

[GoMuskies]

Show of hands - does this look better now?

No, the Travis Steele part looks like shit.

[xuphan]

Would be better if it say out next to Steele’s name. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

[MHettel]

I don’t have anything to support my view here, but I think if Steele is gone then it would have been announced already. I see the NCAA tourney selection as being a crucial retention moment. If we don’t make it, the cut the coach and hire as immediately as possible. Let an interim guy coach the meaningless games.

If Steele coaches the NiT games, then he will stay at least one more year.

We are inside of 24 hours for this situation to peak

[OTRMUSKIE]

Anthony Grant to Florida getting rumblings. That would be a huge blow to VD. Honestly he should just stay at VD. I get he is from Miami and it's the ACC but VD is a good program with great support. They will be top 25 pre season too.

[xubrew]

Add Ben Howland to the list of coaches fired in the SEC. Now 4 coaches fired between the start and the end of the SEC Tournament.

Wow! Coaches may want to think twice before they accept a bid to the SEC Tournament.

I think Mike White just wanted to reset his clock. He'd done well there, but it was 'Round of 32' well and not Final Four well like they were used to before. He may have had one or two more years at Florida. Moving to Georgia probably gives him at least four more years, and it's not like he took a pay cut or anything.

[X-band '01]

A moment of silence for Angry Frank at South Carolina.

[flatspat]

South Carolina Frank Martin out

[GoMuskies]

I really liked Frank. He was so very nice to us that one game he coached against us in Cincinnati at Riverfront Coliseum. He wasn't as nice in Manhattan or SLC, but the kindness he showed in Cincinnati really just endeared him to me forever.

[American X]

I am happy for Frank Martin to finally return to his home planet.

[CP05XU08CU13]

South Carolina Frank Martin out

Saw that and he had an 18-13 record. They must be "more serious" about basketball at South Carolina than Xavier is. 18-13 and an NIT invite is apparently considered a successful year at Xavier. The longer Xavier waits, the harder it is going to be to get a decent coach. Xavier simply cannot compete with schools that have football money.

I said this in another thread, but we are complete morons if we elevated an unproven assistant to HC and then structured a contract such that it was financially untenable to fire him after 4 years. That would be truly outstanding incompetence on the part part of Greg Christopher. 'Football money' shouldn't be a factor in this one.

I was more thinking along the lines of what those universities can pay a new head coach. I absolutely agree that Steele's buyout should not be too high. Maybe we will get lucky and another program will take him off our hands. Doubtful, but he may want a "fresh start" somewhere as well.

The women's side of basketball is serious about competing for national titles at South Carolina. Baseball - well, they used to be serious about national titles there.

Honestly, I'm surprised Martin lasted as long as he did at USC - he was there for 10 years and only had 1 NCAA appearance (albeit a Final 4).

[Xavgrad08]

Former Xavier assistant James Whitford was fired as the HC at ball state. He was an assistant at X 4 years under Sean then an assistant at Arizona. I thought he would do better than he did.

[noteggs]

GW’s Jamion Christian out

[Xville]

Rumor that McMahon has been offered by Mizzou 2.5 and will be announced as soon as Murray state’s run ends. We shall see.

Rumor also that they offered golden (the San Fran) coach so whoever takes the job first, gets it lol

Please realize one of the primary purposes of "buy-out" clauses is to protect XU from another school and compensating XU if such transpires; it's not really something to be used to fire a coach.

[GoMuskies]

They also protect the coach and give him comfort that if he gets fired he's still going to get paid (some to all of the full amount of the contract).

I saw a lot of Mizzou fans wanted Miller. And that he is considered a potential target for South Carolina.

I’d be surprised at either, but his name will be thrown out for every vacancy. I no longer think X will go after him. Greg is too dumb to see what’s right in front of him

Willard to Maryland?

[SM#24]

I think this page sets the board record for most space with no words.

[X Factor]

Willard to Maryland?

Did you see Willard's comment after Seton Hall got stomped last night? Talk about having one foot out the door...

[GIMMFD]

Mizzou making a play at Gates from Cleveland State, interesting.

[xuphan]

This needs updated :)

[X-band '01]

You really wanted to see the Dennis Gates/Frank Martin updates, didn't ya?

[SM#24]

A10 getting some coaching upgrades. UMass should be better than they have been. Maybe Martin will make that happen.

[Xuperman]

Where is this Martin to UMass confirmation? I don't see it anywhere.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Willard to Maryland.

Not sure that's a huge loss honestly. Solid coach but couldnt win in the tournament.

[JTG]

Willard to Maryland.

Not sure that's a huge loss honestly. Solid coach but couldn't win in the tournament.

Makes you wonder, What does Maryland see in Willard ? Most schools are judged by the Tournament, and he's been a flop at that.

[STL_XUfan]

Mizzou has called an emergency Board of Curators meeting to approve the Gates contract. Seems to be a done deal

[GoMuskies]

Gates may do a great job at Mizzou, and he may have just had his guys at Cleveland State playing that style because of the talents of the kids on his roster, but I really was not a fan of the way they played. They played super hard and clearly were bought in and wanted to win against us, but I think the style was a bit of a gimmick. But again, he may have Mizzou play a completely different style given that he should have access to a very different talent level.

He also needs to work on his Covid mask game.

Mike Anderson made that type of style work at Mizzou, and sold a lot of tickets in doing so. Hopefully this hire is more Mike Anderson than Kim Anderson.

Seriously, Holloway is probably an upgrade if Seton Hall can reel him in

[D-West & PO-Z]

Seriously, Holloway is probably an upgrade if Seton Hall can reel him in

My thoughts exactly. He has to already be nearing matching Willard's total tourney wins.

[muskiefan82]

Wow. McMahon to LSU.

[Masterofreality]

Did you see Willard's comment after Seton Hall got stomped last night? Talk about having one foot out the door...

So many parallels to Mack to Louisville

[joe titan]

So many parallels to Mack to Louisville

And so we know why Bo would not let Freider coach in NCAA.

[xeus]

stability I guess. Lot of value in that for programs that are unlikely to truly ever be at the head of the pack. Willard is a good coach, good east coast recruiter, youngish w good upside, and frankly not a deep talent pool of coaches on the market. We just got the pick of the litter at X.

[GoMuskies]

Every year that goes by makes me realize just how fantastic a coach Gary Williams was.

[XUGRAD80]

Wow. McMahon to LSU.

If he can recruit well there he could make them a real power. The man can coach. But can he recruit players there that have the talent AND are team players. Seems that many of the past players at LSU were “me first” type players and they didn’t often jell as a team.

[X-band '01]

Seems that many of the past players at LSU were “me first” type players and they didn’t often jell as a team.

But they all got strong-ass offers.

[Xavgrad08]

According to Jeff Goodman Butler waited because the buyout drops. Seems like a JV move. Will be curious who the candidates are. Not sure it is a good job. Do they reach out to a former X coach whose names rhymes with back?

[GoMuskies]

Or one whose name rhymes with Thad Matta?

[XUGRAD80]

Hinkle Fieldhouse may be where the NIT moves to……just think, they could host and play in the NIT at the same time. If they get good enough to make the NIT that is.

[joe titan]

Did Steele jump too soon --or was he told "not interested " by Butler ?

[SM#24]

Butler is going to copy us and bring Brad Stevens back.

[JTG]

Supposedly they are going after Jeff Boals, some guy at Ohio U. And maybe hiring Matta as the AD. They wanted Steele, but Miami outbid them.

[X-band '01]

Boals has already had a couple of stops at Stony Brook and OU - he'd certainly be experienced enough to move on to Butler if that's where Barry Collier decides to go.

Ronald Nored (who played on their 2 national runner-up teams) is an assistant with the Indiana Pacers who the Butler fans would love to see coach the team as well. If the Tin Man, Chris Mullin and Patrick Ewing have taught us anything, the Big East is not for entry-level head coaches anymore.

[Lloyd Braun]

Butler is going to copy us and bring Brad Stevens back.

Close!

[Masterofreality]

Thad and Sean are pretty much the same age.

[muskiefan82]

These games are so much more fun now...

[Masterofreality]

Matta is 54 but looks 75.
Sean is 53 but looks 45.

BEAKNOSE IS BACK!!!

[muskiefan82]

Good thing Ed Cooley did well or we'd get Pete Gillen back at Providence too...

[X-band '01]

I think it's good for Butler in the short-term, but now their big hire will be their de facto coach-in-waiting who can take charge of recruiting and take over once Matta does hang it up for good.

[Masterofreality]

I give Beaknose 2 years before he totally breaks down again. And..

From Jeff Goodman to an Ohio State fan dissing Holtman & pimping Matta;
“Love Thad Matta, but he didn’t make the NCAA tourney his last two years at Ohio State. Program was on the decline at the end and that’s why he was let go (much due to his health issues).

Chris Holtmann has made tourney every season in Columbus.

Be careful what you wish for.”

[noteggs]

Hopefully Matta is able to stay healthy with the grind that is being a NCAA basketball coach. Big East continues to strengthen.

So true!

Amazing how how talented and young our staff was nearly 20 years ago.

[smileyy]

Definite questions about Matta's health. Maybe it's gotten better but those sorts of injuries generally don't.

[kane79]

Good point, I was thinking who in the BE is going to hire Mack next.

UC seems to be the leading candidate, with dayton a close second

[xudash]

In order for a program to be fully successful, we all know that all program elements must be in place, including financial resources. I don’t believe they have a practice facility over there. Matta clearly gives them a major “splash” in the media. It will be interesting to see how this works out though.

I will take our situation with Sean Miller any day of the week.

[waggy]

Good for Butler. I guess this means every team in the BE is going to make the tourney now.

I think the Matta hire is for him to be a bridge coach for a couple years, until he takes over as AD from Collier. Speculation is he hired someone like Nored to learn the ropes from him, then take over in a couple years. And Gregg Doyel, is at it again in his Butler hires Matta story, stating Xavier is so desperate to win they hired Sean Miller with all the NCAA allegations hanging over him. Butler used to be a feel good story about the Little Engine that Could, but their endless sanctimonious crap about them all being choirboys and Xavier being thugs is really annoying. That's why beating them to a pulp anytime anywhere is so satisfying.

I have come to see it as nothing but jealousy on the part of Butler fans. And spare me their back-to-back appearances in the championship game. They lost both games. They didn't win the championship.

More to the point, those appearances amplify my point - which you made in your post: they were seen back then as THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD. That was a 'sweet' description of the program, but that description carries a condescending tone with it, as it should. A little program from a low-major league, with an historic dilapidated relic for a home court, that caught fire under a young gifted coach that then performed well above its punching weight.

We hired their coach away from them. That's all you need to know about relative pecking order here. And their 'thug' nonsense is just that - nonsense. They certainly aren't choir boys.

[Masterofreality]

Agree 100% Dash!
On my and Muskette Grad daughter’s visit to Hinkle this year we were literally verbally accosted by fans who made it clear how much they hated Xavier. We both took it as envy and jealousy.
Why would a school’s fans with 2 Final Fours act like that, otherwise.
Just for comparison, we have NEVER had a bad interaction with Villanova fans, and we’ve had plenty of them.
Butler is still so small time in everything. They are lucky to have caught lightning in a bottle and be in this league.
Lavall Jordan was Brandon Miller, with a longer leash. They are resource poor. Matta is probably working for lunch money

[muskiefan82]

Georgia state? Yikes. Ok. I wish you luck, but I'm thinking you could have had a better selection next year. Thank you for your work in salvaging the season. You'll always be undefeated here coach Hayes!

Rothstein reporting Mike Pegues( former XU and Louisville assistant) joining Thad Matta as an assistant.

You are correct. That would have been a tough situation to be an interim coach in. Thad has a pretty decent coaching tree so this is probably a good opportunity for Pegues to learn under Thad. Supposedly Pegues had the opportunity to join Georgetown as an assistant, but chose Butler.

Buckeyes are getting disgruntled with Chris Holtmann after just inking a 3-year extension last year. Wouldn't be surprised if Kelsey lands on their short list.
