Coaching Carousel

If I am Indiana I would at least make an inquiry with Bill Self.

No I don't think Bill would ultimately leave Kansas. And this is not a John Calipari-Kentuky situation which had grown toxic. Bill is still very much respected and beloved in Lawrence.

But maybe maybe it has gone stale there and he wouldn't mind a new challenge.

Worth a call.

Bill Self released a statement after the loss today to Texas Tech. Kind of weird he just praises the team, said any criticism should be directed at him and says he is focused on getting them ready to finish the season.

I think it stems from one of his players posting DMs he received on Twitter telling him to uh cease existing, racial slurs, etc.

Yeah. Mayo apparently.

Jai Lucas to be confirmed at Miami tomorrow

 

[L J S A]

Had no clue he was coaching. I remember him being one of the all-time great Utah high schoolers, but not sure college career matched that.

So does he just leave immediately? Weird timing.

Can't wait through the tournaments with the timing of the portal pre-game and window. It's like the football portal kids sitting out bowl games, except in this instance he may sit out a Natty. But more far reaching implications makes this sensible.

I assume everyone on Duke side, including Lucas, are furious it leaked

Does Autry survive this year at Cuse? I know it’s only Year 2 but they are so irrelevant and so awful.

I hope not but if Melo is his friend he may get another year.

Goodie announced Syracuse was set to bring him back next year.

Again very unlikely he was not getting a 3rd year. They have a really good class coming in, they will have a much better NIL situation.

So he will get another year.

He will be under enormous pressure to win next year but he is getting a 3rd year.

Not staying for their tourney run

Not staying for their tourney run

That's a tough blow for Duke.

A lot of people owe Peter Ariz an apology.

Who is Peter Ariz?

 

[fordham96]

Who is Peter Ariz?

He runs a Miami Hurricane fan site called Canesinsight.com. He was the one that first reported Jai Lucas was set to become Miami's new head coach like 2 weeks ago.

A lot of people did not want to give him the credit for being the first to report this. He clearly had someone who knew.

 

[dk423]

This is the HS coach of top Duke commits, Cameron and Cayden Boozer.

Also mentions Brusier Flint, who's been with Calipari the last five years
