Bye Bye Chris Collins. Verbally agreed to coach Northwestern. I'm happy for him but DAMN that's a blow to the recruiting |I

i hate when coaches do this during the playoffs or tourney, always seems like bad timing...but it was only a matter of time before he walked. good for chris.

 

[wildkycat]

So who's gonna do halftime interviews now?

 

[bigmike23]

so if hurley or collins do good at there jobs they will be the next duke coach

 

[shannonscrooks]

Another Duke assistant fading into bolivian..........

 

[scuse7]

Oregon should easily become a power out West. Really good coach, best facilities, having some success.

And I doubt this will happen but I've heard Mark Gottfried in connection with UCLA. That would be the funniest thing ever if he gets hired.

Hopefully Collins doesn't hurt Midwest recruiting, would be a damn shame if it affected Duke's status with Tyus/Jahlil

Your sarcasm is terrible, son.

@hatfieldsports2h

Hearing from some good sources that current #Duke asst. Jeff Capel could land the #ODU job. Been told that he wants the job. Stay tuned...

Yea i don't need this **** happening

Looks like Chris is taking Paulus with him to Northwestern

UCLA boosters want Gottfried He has a 3.5 million buyout though

Just got back from watching the practices at the verizon center in DC. Every team minus minus Indiana had a kind of a loose practice. Indiana brought out pads and did rebounding drills. It was pretty funny to see the managers even sweating. Tom Crean is one intense person. Also really weird to see Boeheim and John Thompson talking for a bit. If Victor Oladipo measures past 6'3 I'll die of shock, also Jordan Hulls is a better 3pt shooter left handed than you will ever be right handed. John Harbuagh also stopped by which was pretty cool.

Even with the show clause I'd rather have Bruce Pearl than Mark Gottfried

He can recruit but Lord knows he can't coach. Would only be a matter of time before he got caught for something dirty

 

[アミーゴ]

Gottfried really wants the job.

Old AAU coach is super close with his top assistant...wants it bad. He would own the west coast in terms of recruiting with Miller.

BREAKING: Shaka Smart turns down UCLA. Agrees to VCU extension through 2023. More @sinow details here. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-basketball/news/20130327/vcu-shaka-smart/

Pretty much confirmed already, but there it is. **** our AD.

 

[bigmike23]

like one booster wants Gottfried and nobody else. 

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

If Dan Guerrero picks Gottfried he'd better turn in his resignation letter at that same conference.

 

[shannonscrooks]

If he's scared to compete, then no loss.

What does that even mean? His teams compete year in and year out. He's team went to a Final 4 in 2011.

They lost to Butler in the Final 4. What does that tell you about the landscape of college basketball?

I was kidding, making fun of the idea that UCLA is too demanding.

 

[champcruthik]

Unless the money was completely wrong/off, how could Shaka possibly turn down UCLA?

Can't be just his wife and infant's happiness in the VCU area.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Maybe there's truth to him wanting to wait out the UNC/Duke job.

 

[champcruthik]

Imagine Shaka at UNC & Stevens at Duke in 5 years. Wars on Tobacco Road.

 

[fear the ibis]

Here's a thought.....maybe he's just happy at VCU.

 

[champcruthik]

I mean, most coach to be the best at their trade/profession. UCLA is a top-3 program historically.

 

[アミーゴ]

I really hope Gottfried gets the job.
