At Purdue, there is talk about canning a coach for not winning enough after making the tournament: https://www.hammerandrails.com/2023/3/21/23650093/purdue-basketball-time-for-change
The Father, The Son, and the Unholy Coach. The priest looks like he wants to get the presser over with ASAP.
Isn’t it longer? Hasn’t Merrimack done it twice and not gotten in?Good for him... deserving.
But makes me wonder if he would be a candidate if not for the ridiculous rule that a conference champ is ineligible for postseason in their first year of D1.
It’s hard to imagine many scenarios where first year D1 schools win a conference, but it’s almost harder to imagine that there should be a rule penalizing them for it. Surprised it still exists.
The transition postseason moratorium apparently lasts four seasons?Isn’t it longer? Hasn’t Merrimack done it twice and not gotten in?
So could Stanford and they kept their coach who's actually landed better talent than Pastner on paper, but has performed at a similar level, I believe.California has Stanford and Cal Berkeley in the north and USC and UCLA in the south. Stanford and Berkeley are the more regarded schools, and both have deep pocketed alumni networks. A public and a private anchor school at each end of the state. But, USC and UCLA have the athletics.
Cal could be big, especially in basketball. They just aren’t.
Fair:
