A No. 1 recruit, NBA coach and big-money boosters: BYU is going all-in on basketball
The Cougars are hoping big money -- and bigger recruits -- can launch them into contention with blue bloods.

Per Trilly (paraphrasing from his posts) - Indiana will be moving on from Woodson. Nothing firm on the timeline for an official announcement.

I think the biggest difference is that we don’t have a shooting guard that can shoot. We live and die by getting multiple possessions.
That's Lanier. He's averaging 42% from 3pt this year. Averaged 44% last year.
And if you look at the team's stats, everyone else is identical to our team. Tennessee is rated #1 offense in country.

Met John a few times, he used to work out at St. John’s in the off season. Was a nice guy, gentle off the court but on the court a terror to his credit. I was actually in a pick up game with him once and made the mistake of going for a rebound while he was near the board, I was young and stupid. . Next thing I knew, I was on the floor looking up with big John hovering over me and asking if I was ok.

Woodson stepping away after season from Indiana.
Goodman says they make a run at Pitino. I don’t think Rick is leaving here. For a number of reasons.

Agree, Indiana is in the middle of nowhere. Rick loves the.city lights and his home by his country club. He’s not going anywhere.
He probably has a max of 5-7 years left coaching, so I doubt he wants to do another 2-3 year rebuild in the middle of nowhere. Their NIL situation can’t be THAT much better than what he has here either.
I’d also like to think that he has a sense of loyalty to St. John’s and Father Shanley for taking a chance on him, a love for his hometown of NYC, and is enjoying the big time atmosphere of a rocking MSG.
Hs also just seems to be having a lot of fun. That does matter in these things.

If he could, Goodman would say Incarnate Word would make a serious run at Pitino and have a chance. I muted Goodman long ago and haven’t regretted it for one second
Goodman is really a troll at this point w diminished influence and credibility.
Who could be Indiana's next basketball coach? Likely (and unlikely) candidates
Could Brad Stevens take the reins in Bloomington with Mike Woodson expected to leave the Hoosiers after this season?

My guess would be Chris Beard. Indiana is a potential force in college hoops and Beard has the coaching chops to get them there in a much more visible program he’s at now.Who could be Indiana's next basketball coach? Likely (and unlikely) candidates

Honestly, the first I heard of it was maybe 3 weeks ago on one of our game broadcasts. IDK where this idea emanated from, but not well conceived... And, the day of the student athlete is truly bygone...
