[QUOTE="Ramble1885, post: 936206, member: 5811"] Here's another man with a lot of experience that could work out, Akron's John Groce. Coached at Ohio U, Illinois, and Akron. Took Ohio to sweet sixteen. While he was fired from Illinois, he still had an NCAAT trip, as well as three NIT appearances. He went to Akron who had been successful under the coach before him. He struggled at first but since then he's had five straight winning seasons, a tournament trip last year, and likely some kind of postseason trip this year. (Akron is 19-9 right now.) They also went 24-7 in 2020, so he nearly had 2 NCAAT berths if it wasn't for COVID. Notable accomplishments- (plus the team he was coaching) Upset 3 seed Georgetown in 2010 NCAA first round (Ohio) Upset Michigan and South Florida to make 2012 Sweet Sixteen, nearly beat UNC but fell in overtime (Ohio) Finished ranked in the 2012 top 25 (Ohio) Upset #10 Gonzaga in 2012 (Illinois) Upset #8 Ohio State in 2013 (Illinois) Beat #1 Indiana in 2013, probably his signature win. (Illinois) Only had one losing season at UI before being fired in 2017. Won 20 games in his last season. MAC regular season champs, COVID happened so no postseason. (2019-20) MAC champions, lost to UCLA in first round. (2022) He's 51 years old so he's got a few years left in him. Would be a solid choice if we're running out of options. [/QUOTE]
