2010 College Basketball Coaching Changes Thread

[KG215]

ACC losing Skinner, Purnell, and Gaudio all in one offseason. Not quite the same as losing Roy, K, and Gary, but those three aren't bad.

Yahoo reports that Eddie Jordan is most likely in line for the Rutgers job, his alma mater, but Jordan denies the reports saying he hasn't had any contact and there's nothing there. We'll see.

Clemson hires former Wright State coach Brad Brownell. Be interesting to see him in the ACC, his teams are pretty slow paced. He's had pretty good success though, if he can handle the step up it should be a good hire.

[KG215]

Brownell did a very good job while at UNC-Wilmington as well. Solid coach who has ties to ACC country. He's another DePauw graduate.

I've heard plenty of rumors about Oregon wanting Jamie Dixon. Hopefully it doesn't go any further than rumors because Dixon is a great fit here at Pitt.

Oregon, finally, got a coach. Long time Creighton HC Dana Altman.

Iowa State hires the man, the myth, The Mayor, Fred Hoiberg. Hoiberg's never coached a day in his life, but he is of course a legend in Ames.

[KG215]

Hoiberg is one of my all-time favorite "token white guy" players. Loved him with Minny.

Altman burned Arkansas about 4 years ago. He got to Fayetteville, went through the intro presser, did the Hog Call, and was on his way back to Creighton all in about a 28 hour span.

Apparently Kentucky and Calipari are working on an long term extension as well.

I don't know if this is really worth posting, but Bill Murray's son just got an assistant coaching gig at (D1) Wagner.

My friend Josh Thompson plays at Wagner. He sometimes has to remind me it's D1.

Purdue lost ass't Rick Ray to Clemson. Terrible news for recruiting, hope it doesn't knock us out of the Branden Dawson sweepstakes.

[AxionJaxion]

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

He hired Moe Hicks to be a part of his staff.

Lavin and Hicks will reel in some quality talent.

Skinner did an excellent job in finding and developing Troy Bell, Craig Smith, Jared Dudley, and Tyrese Rice.

Purnell is not a good coach. Gaudio was atrocious.
