2024-25 College Hoops Coaching Carousel šŸ€

Entire ā€œField of 68 After Darkā€ podcast with Rob Dauster and Jeff Goodman plus guest Jeff Borzello about the coaching carousel - hot seats, seats getting warm, etc.

Again, Penny Hardaway mentioned as someone who needs to make NCAAT at a minimum to keep his job. If there is a change made at Memphis, belief that Tigers go after Will Wade.

Goodman said Temple could have hired one time Owlsā€™ assistant and current Colgate HC Matt Langel but didnā€™t handle things well when replacing Aaron McKie in 2023.

Another AAC mention concerned UAB if AK should depart - Blazers would have to look no further than Birmingham suburb Homewood to find Bucky McMillan of Samford.

Finally, none thought Sanchez will be coach at UVA after this season, with Ryan Odom most likely to be tabbed by the Cavs, especially if VCU lives up to expectations.

Anyway, good stuff.

I try not to think about where we would be if we had hired Odom. Wasted so many seasons.

Something of a surprise looking at entire tenure. Awful start to year, though Cajuns did beat App State last night in Lafayette. #340 in the NET (worst of the 12 Bayou State D-I schools) and just 2-9 vs D-I.

As Miller says, has to be more to this. Marlin closing in on 500 career wins with 494 as of today. Took Louisiana to 2023 NCAAT as Sun Belt tourney champs. Also see that Cajuns lost a key player to injury just before this season began.

Final W for Marlin. JT with 8 + 4 for App.

Nikaā€™s previous coach calling it a career.
