as long as Bruce Pearl doesn't leave, then I am a-okay.

Glad to see Lebo go, he was wasting talent.

Speaking of Jacobson, he just got a new 10 year deal that doubles his salary

Anyone see Iowa offering Ben Jacobson from Northern Iowa? He's young (39) and has just 4 years of HC experience. I just really don't know what type of guy Iowa thinks they can get.

They hired Siena's Fran McCaffrey

Steve Lavin to interview for the St John's job on Monday. He's been with ESPN the last 6 years.



That's his wife? Good job, bud. Nice tattoo.

Tim Floyd to UTEP

Oregon offered Tubby Smith the job

I really hope Lavin goes to St. John's. I think he's an even more annoying commentator than VItale. He doesn't even speak like a normal person. It's just one stupid thing after another.

Lavin takes the gig

If he can recruit NYC like he did LA when he was at UCLA then St. John's just made a great hire.

Lavin Rules! Especially when he's been clearly drinking before calling the game.

Lavin's apparently contacted Gene Keady about working on his staff in some capacity. Not as a coach on the bench but a "directer of operations" type thing, basically a consultant. The quotes I've seen indicate Keady's all ears and pretty interested. Lavin's big knock was always basically that we was more of a smooth talker than an actual coach, so Keady'd be a big help in that regard.

I just went from not giving a shit about Lavin and St. John's to hoping he gets the program turned around and back in the tourney on a yearly basis, even though I don't think he will.

Not a coaching change, but Matt Painter got a new 8 year deal. Goes from one of the lowest paid coaches in the Big Ten (I think around 250k base) to $1.3mm per, potential bonuses as well.

Good for him he definitely deserves it.

I guess it's not finalized yet.

Wake Forest fired Dino Gaudio. Wonder what that does to their top 10 recruiting class?
