The coaching carousel

...and this one's for Norm.  

 

 

That was my 1st thought when I heard about it. Maybe Normy & Lance can get Sheldon to Lincoln (yet)!

That's kind of a bad deal for Sheldon, especially when Stallings dicked him around and wouldn't grant him a release.  Which meant that Sheldon had to sit out a year at a juco on his own dime (and not play) in order to end up at Pitt.  If Stallings had just granted him a release, he still would have had to sit a year, but he would have sat a year, on scholarship, at Pitt, and been able to practice with the team.

 

Sheldon better graduate this spring so he can make another move, because I have a feeling there'll still be some bad blood between the two of them.

For some reason I remember the Sheldon Jeter thing as being 10 years ago...I find it astonishing that he's still kicking around.  He's the Elvis Grbac of basketball.

Ever notice how Greg McDermott's name never comes up in these coaching carousel conversations?

Other than Texas Tech under the Knights, he hasn't been anywhere for very long

He seems pretty intense. He's going to need to win soon at UNLV or that's going to wear thin pretty quick.

Dunleavy to Tulane-this seems strange

No idea where the tie-in is. He's been unemployed for 5 years and this is his first time coaching college so Tulane seems like a nice small school for that.

I guess his wife is from New Orleans so maybe she has family there. Funny that the original report was that his son, the assistant at Villanova, was the one named. Mike Sr. is only 62, so maybe he just wanted to show there is some juice still left in the plum.

Are you feeling that, Jimmy?  

[AuroranHusker]

Would that be plum juice or prune juice?

[jimmykc]

More of a prune at this point.

So, I take it the "Keanu Pinder to St. Louis" thing probably ain't gonna happen.

But maybe Gorjok Gak to St. Louis will???

Here is a big reason why Pitino can't be fired right now http://www.startribune.com/u-regents-frustrated-with-richard-pitino-s-big-money-buyout-push-for-contract-authority/374073421/

Richie Pitino...The Kirk Ferentz of B1G hoops!

Not that I'm complaining or anything.  I mean, if Minnesota would rather keep Pitino than pay him to leave, that's their business, not mine.

I remember Henson playing for K-State back when Lon Kruger was the coach there.  Man, I'm dating myself a bit there, huh?

 

He was one of those guys you loved to hate.  Kind of an early version of that guy from Ohio State whose name I'm not going to say.

 

Damn good freethrow shooter, though.
