FAU still in their hiring process as far as mid-majors go.

Brings up a point---which job is better, JMU or Vandy? I know the conference argument but Vandy? Yikes.

Danny Sprinkle the new head coach of Washington is now the head coach of his 3rd team since he left Montana State at the end of 2023 season. Didn't realize that. Weird, would have though Hett would be shouting from the rooftops about how awful that is for college basketball.

Maybe Mack will end up at FAU. He's already in Florida, so why not.

Damn, this rent free living is sweet!

Pretty cool reaction from Pat Kelsey seeing his new office for the first time.

I'll just say that Bryce Drew is enjoying Grand Canyon a lot more than Vandy. Take from that what you will.

The fishing is good around Charleston and it’s one of my favorite cities for history and food. I think he will love it there. Best of luck to him!

Spent my brief honeymoon there, and I'm still married, whatever that's worth.

Mark Montgomery to Detroit; former Northern Il head coach and most recent Izzo assistant at Michigan St. He will be starting from ground zero.
