2020 MBB coaching carousel

Looks like Jeff Neubauer is out at Fordham. Possibly the AD too. So much talent in the NYC area, they should be better, although admissions and an ancient, albeit somewhat charming, home gym probably handcuffs them somewhat.

 

Who’s on his staff, Larry Eustachy?

 

Weber's fine... made the tournament 5 of 8 years there.

With Kansas State, when it's good, it's real good. But when it goes bad, it's Asbury or Woodridge.

I think a barometer for K-State is Iowa State and Oklahoma State. If K-State is better than those two, consistently, then it's all good.

 

My bad. He's still there. The big announcement was the retirement of the AD, not Neubauer's firing, which was widely expected.

 

Congrats to the AD who retired in the middle of this mess. I read he has been in college athletics for 45 years. His timing is perfect. I wouldn't want to figure out how to make a budget work.

 

Great timing. Take your pension and run like hell.

 

Happy Final Four Weekend Everybody! I wonder if there will be a Zoom where various assistants will don their team's warm-up jacket and hang out trying for better gigs. PS - with the end of winter quarter, I'm guessing the transfer portal is open for business.

 

Since 2000, Fordham has had three winning seasons, and no 20-win seasons or NCAA berths. Last made the NCAA in 1992; last 20-win season was in 1991.

 

Shit, they haven't even finished above .500 in the A-10 since 2006-07. They are the absolute minnow in the conference.

 

A huge move in the women's game. Vic Schaefer is leaving Mississippi State to go to Texas.

Texas to hire Mississippi State women's basketball coach Vic Schaefer

 

I have wondered why Texas has been so mediocre in women’s basketball for so long. Should be nationally elite, right?

 

They made the Sweet 16 in 2015, 16 (Elite 8), 17, 18 before losing in first round last year. Baylor turning into a superpower the last decade and A&M being essentially on par with UT hasn't helped
