Coaches on the Hot Seat

[dtm1997]

Since we originally started this to discuss the hot seat... Liberty University lost in 1st rd of its conference tourney 3-4 hours ago and they've already fired their coach after an 8-24 season.

FWIW, we George Mason fans have taken to calling our hopefully soon to be ex coach "the motherf*cker"

@ilovetheoption How about that $85K longevity bonus you guys coughed up this week?

Meanwhile....

Why did it take me a week and a half to realize Pitino called BG a top 15 coach in the Country because there are 15 ACC schools?

These were the best comments on that topic

All fair statements about BG.

Fair statement about Morrison, too.

Sounds like a Paul Hewitt type deal. I thought Tom Crean was a pretty good coach? Humm... I wouldn't pay that to buyout his contract.

Plus, what they really want is Brad Stevens. Think of what they would have to pay him to make him even think about leaving the Celtics. They better have some Phil Knight like donors to make that happen.

Sharman White has been named a finalist for HS coach of the year. Please please please try to get him on the staff

Found this quote online:

"One of my goals is to be a college coach," White said. "I will do high school as long as I'm called to do high school because this is my foundation, continuing to build young men.

"At some point I do want to go into college. Hopefully sooner than later. I think I have a lot to offer a program."

Depends on how much this guy loves college basketball.

Louisiana Tech on CBS Sports Network at 8PM.

VCU vs Davidson on ESPNU at 9PM.

SFA up 14 in the first half.
LA Tech closing in on a win.
Davidson killing VCU by 18 in the first half. VCU Has really struggled since losing Weber. 4-5 in their last 9 games. Should be a popular pick to lose in the 1st round. If Smart's HAVOC defense is not forcing TO his teams have a horrendously hard time scoring. He relies on those TO so much for points.

I think Shaka's learned that lesson and has addressed it with this recruiting class bringing in a couple of big scorers.

I flipped on LA Tech a bit. Really nice flow to the game with athletic guards. Announcers brought up a concern that LA Tech didn't necessarily have many good wins. Not sure if it means much, but a little surprising.
