This is the exact same deal as Hoiberg; there was "buzz" about this for months (you saw it on this forum) and that was it. Then for whatever reason it got enough traction for the the OWH/LJS to investigate and they got enough from whomever they talk to in order to ask the university. (sports talk radio is it's own thing ) The university said there is nothing to it and here we are. If Hoiberg doesn't end up here, does that all the sudden make yesterday's reporting invalid? To me, both of these things are pretty consistent in how they were approached and if you think one is less valid than the other because one makes the university or a person look bad then you're echoing the disconnect of today's society with what journalism should be.

We've been talking about it for months, right? People have been talking about this for months. If you count February and March as "months" I've known about it for months. I suppose that the thing you could complain about would be that no one really dug into it to break it earlier but I don't understand why that at all matters. If anything I wish it still wasn't broken because how does putting this in the OWH or LJS make it more likely to happen?

Nope, I'm good.

Unless you can get someone from either side to collaborate you're just rumor-mongering. That's how long it was for Miles. 5,6,7,8 whatever is pretty irrelevant here though. It's the buyout amount from Fred's side that matters. It was low when he signed with Iowa St. so he could leave at any time to go to the NBA.

Making an announcement that you're going to make an announcement that nothing has changed is basically self-owning yourself for no reason other than being bad at PR. Forgot Jack Riggins...get someone from Swanson Russell or Bailey Lauerman to come in and donate some time.

I had forgotten it was Hoiberg and Jaime Dixon. I did remember the Fran rip-off-the-pants part.

You saw it here first (from 4 years ago)

Do you have a link for where you were reading up on Hoiberg?

Pucker factor

It was a bad beat for my pick'um as well

This probably applies to the invisible elephant that represent Larry Eustacy mores than Hoiberg

Sorry @Norm Peterson i'm commandeering your thread title so that we don't have 10 hoiberg threads.

Southern Miss is going to the CBI so doubtful you do that and then fire him. He would need to pull a Molinari and quit.

I have but it's a bit of the cart before the horse. Should we get that far I suppose that would depend on how much Doc prefers to be a head coach and/or how secure that job and if he'd want to take a bit of a paycut. (He's making 350k)

There is probably a more appropriate word than "pack" I"m using that as a catch-all description for a team that looks like it protects against lane penetration first and foremost.

Pretty much. Things might have changed since his time at Chicago but his numbers at ISU show he was definitely running a 3p heavy offense and defensively the Average possession length, lack of turnovers and lack of fouling with an average amount of 3pa shows a Pack-style defense.

He's already walked that back to a point. Also, if he recruiting is a deal breaker, why would he come back to college if that is what happens?

If we have Hoiberg as a "done deal" why are we making an announcement on Friday and why didn't we fire Miles Saturday night/Sunday? As it's been pointed out what if Miles makes a run in the NIT and while we're waiting Hoiberg changes his mind?

Moe Iba didn't give the Bobfather the chance.

The implication here is that Tennessee was screwed ?

No one at all that I can recall thinks he hasn't talked to Altman or Hoiberg or any other coaches this year or last year. Not to say that we won't hire someone from our 'dream list' but the dots you're presenting here are that of an AD who currently has no one lined up as the next coach so let's hope I can laugh because it's not true.

If Allen was warming up in Chicago he seems close. Harris seems unlikely. Any google doctors in the house?

RE: Moos Because a better coach deserves to be supported by the athletic director? If Miles isn't good enough, he isn't good enough, right? He makes the NCAA tourney this year and we can hire a better coach you do that, right? What exactly is the harm putting forth effort as the AD for the last two years? That you are sitting here telling me that once we get a different coach the AD will do his f$*# job is exactly the reason a big part of the board is up in arms here. TBH I hope we don't see more of him because at least then we know he just doesn't like attending basketball games and he most likely wasn't undermining a program that has been 1-2 wins away from the tournament for the last two years.

NIT Rules >> The 3-point line will be extended by about 20 inches to the distance used in international basketball (22 feet, 1 ¾ inches). >> The foul lane will be widened from 12 to 16 feet, coinciding with NBA width. >> The shot clock will be reset to 20 seconds after an offensive rebound instead of the full 30. >> Team fouls will reset at the 10-minute mark of each half for determining free throws. One-and-one free throws will be eliminated. Teams will shoot two bonus free throws after the fifth team foul of each 10-minute segment.
