Wade-NC State is a no brainer fit. I really like those names for Nova. Allen has been a NBA assistant for 10+ years now.Some Trilly updates for those interested
Villanova is a matter of when not if in regards to announcing Neptune's firing.
Chris Collins, Porter Moser, Malik Allen, Richard Pitino, Ryan Odom in the mix there. Richard would angle hard for it if Odom ends up at UVA.
Not done yet but NC State and Will Wade have advanced to the negotiation stage of talks.
Takayo Siddle from UNCW is the favorite for the USF job. The current UNCW AD was most recently at UConn so that could end up being the landing spot for Kimani Young or Bill Murray's kid.
I don't know how excited that fan base will be with Collins or Moser but they'll definitely be major upgrades over Neptune. If Collins does end up getting Villanova then Moser likely takes NW.Wade-NC State is a no brainer fit. I really like those names for Nova. Allen has been a NBA assistant for 10+ years now.
I honestly think they should be excited about either one. Their coaching competence would improve a lot, and both guys would have a lot more NIL resources than they have right now.I don't know how excited that fan base will be with Collins or Moser but they'll definitely be major upgrades over Neptune.

Can't picture Moser there at all. I thought Jay had a good sense of humor but could be serious when he needed to be. I picture Moser as 100 percent goofball all the time and I'm not even sure why.I honestly think they should be excited about either one.

I know what you mean. He is running the Gauchos program which is not the program it was (neither is Riverside) in the 70’s - 2000 nor. D1 college program.It seems like all the head coaches have landed fully on their feet, but Book still doesn't have a D1 job.![]()
Chris CollinsObviously Kyle is out at Nova.
Look I persinally like him.
But this is a results oriented business. He knew the deal, with a great job comes expectations. I hope he lands on his feet somewhere.
Thamel says Odom, Kevin Willard-really? and Richard Pitino.
Would Rick and his son want to coach vs each other in same conference?
I like Chris but I think Villanova is shooting higher.Chris Collins
At this point in his career/life gotta think they may enjoy getting to spend two games a year together as much as I’m sure it’s hard to handle in the moment!Obviously Kyle is out at Nova.

I always thought Willard was an underrated successor option to Pitino, especially with how they’re performing this year + his obvious Pitino ties + being a New Yorker. Nova job would make that mootThe biggest reason I can think of for Kevin to leave a really good situation at Maryland would be the travel.
Maybe he hates the bi-coastal travel he has to do once a year. This year to the northwest to play Oregon and UW.
Next year it will be to LA to play UCLA and USC.
