If that logic held then UNC should lose its one seed as should UVA and especially Gonzaga. All lost. Not sure who moves up?

Brand new Wake AD better have some really clear direction and ironclad guarantees to take on an $18M buyout as his first official action

I can't imagine they didn't have those very pointed internal discussions and discussions with counsel given that they went to the extent of a very formal external review of the situation and Pastner's actions. Sometimes the answer is simply there isn't a reasonable chance of a positive outcome...

Do you really need to ask that question?? o_O I mean come on DTM - I thought more of you than that :p

I think we still have a shot to get 3 on the top line but probably not. Just think there will be a reason not to. Though TN seems to be doing everything they can to not get to the top line so I guess it depends on whether MSU comes through with style points. One good thing about AU taking...

We would be having the same discussion that the NCAA hasn't been able to hang anything on our head coach ... yet :rolleyes: :eek:

If you are going to play big boy basketball then $4 M is a cost of doing business. If you are not committed to big boy basketball then $4 M keeps you at the bottom of the league

I've kind of soured but whether you want to hang on to him or not - the net effect is the same. Finances control this situation - plus a legit argument he gets another year to show what he can do. But if we don't "improve" next year - however you want to define that - it is indeed a very bad...

Roy reminds everyone that he hates to call time outs. Easy to say he should have called one with 12 seconds to go and the ball in the hands of a freshman guard - a really good freshman guard but still a freshman. And we saw the shot they got. May be a great lesson for later in the tourney but...

Can I sign up for that now? Please

I think it is well known that Bobinski took a very active role in hiring the initial staff for CJP which is why it took so long for it to come together. That part is pretty much fact. I fully admit is my speculation that CJP could have benefited from someone treating him like a young coach and...

If naivete was a fireable offense CJP would be gone by now. There is little doubt he was allowing people to get close to the program that he shouldn't have. Bobinski took the position he had to help CJP with things like hiring assistants as he needed help transitioning to being a head coach -...

FSU should have lost yesterday. Looked a ton better today. Took Guy and Jerome out of the game.

It definitely is not flattering. Takes the view that the relationship between Pastner and Bell was such that Pastner "should have known" he was recruiting a transfer out of Memphis. If the NCAA has already ruled on that point that Pastner is clean (but naive) then we are OK and this is a hit...

I don't argue with that at all. Especially the to a lesser extent part. :p My reaction was to the idea that this year's record somehow was definitive Capel is a bad coach and we made a bad choice. FWIW I didn't know much about Drew but was a fan of both Capel and Keats when we went with CJP...

So do you think Capel's record this year means he is a bad coach and wouldn't have succeeded at GT on that basis?

Capel's results this year are not relevant to whether he is or would have been a good coach for us. He started literally at ground zero after the Stallings fiasco - below where CJP found himself a couple of years ago. In his first year he brought in 2 four star recruits each of his 2 classes...

UNC will tell you their basketball and football recruiting were definitely impacted by the "troubles". Ingram specifically mentioned it when he selected Duke over Carolina despite going to what had been a UNC feeder HS. Basketball in particular has picked up since they were resolved. Mack is...

We'll see how this eventually pans out but regardless of the outcome it adds to the milieu of bad juju around the program that will without a doubt make it harder to recruit freshmen to the program. Grad transfers won't care as much as they are here for a 1 year gig but the combination of...

It may end up being a lifetime ban but it sure is a 4-5 year "ban" while the heat is on. May even be a show cause time imposed by the NCAA - who knows. But if Jack really does want to be a coach then he can do things at the AAU level or HS level that would keep him in the game and position him...
