One coach comes in (Pearl at Auburn) and two go out the door
Sreve Donohue has been fired at BC and Ken Bone got the pink slip at Washington State, as per ESPN

I'd gladly take the Olivier Hanlon off their hands.

Big changes possible at UNLV, involving both coaches and seniors who can transfer and play immediately. Two of the seniors, Roscoe Smith and Khem Birch, started out in the Big East, and are very talented post players.

Either would be great additions but lets remember you don't only have to be a senior, you have to graduate. Not a comment on these two just a general comment.
 
Steve Donahue coached Cornell to that run in the tournament a couple of years ago. Excellent coach. Too bad he lost his job.

He publicly admitted that he put together an overly demanding non-conference schedule that his team wasn't ready for
It hasn't been easy for anyone to win at BC since they left the Big East
 
Donahue Out at BC.

Ben Howland, Wojo, Coen, Amaker, and Bonnie's Schmidt among the names being mentioned.
 
Should have fired him earlier and made a play for Pearl. I guess you have to go Howland here. Spend some of that football money.
 
BC should consider Robert Morris' Coach Andy Toole.

Three of 4 seasons Coach Toole has won 20 plus games, finished 1st in its conference the past 2 years, and defeated UKentucky and StJohns during last 2 seasons. FYI... Toole grew up in Staten Island.

Toole would be an excellent choice.

Skinner got the Eagles to 7 NCAA'S Iin the 12-13 seasons he was there. Including one year where he was ACC COACH OF THE YEAR.

Apparently, Al didn't impress BC'S AD or some alumni or Boston Globe media types.. They called him "lazy," which is kind of funny...I think Skinner suffered the same fate as Louis Orr did at SETON HALL..both got their teams to the tournaments regularly but, didn't seem to kiss enough a-- to keep their jobs..

CBS SPORTS mentioned G. Washington's, Mike Lonergan as a up and coming Coach too. Lonergan would be a hit in BOSTON, JUST ON NAME ALONE.

As @GoodmanESPN reports, Jim Calhoun is interested in the Boston College job. The interest isn't mutual, sources tell Yahoo Sports.
 
If this is true how ironic. Calhoun has done everything he could to belittle BC since they left the Big East.
 
Don't know about Howland, both PITT and UCLA got better immediately after he left.

Better? I would disagree with that. Here's Howland's record:

Pittsburgh Panthers (Big East Conference) (1999–2003)
1999–2000 Pittsburgh 13–15 5–11 11th
2000–2001 Pittsburgh 19–14 7–9 5th (West) NIT 2nd Round
2001–2002 Pittsburgh 29–6 13–3 1st (West) NCAA Sweet Sixteen
2002–2003 Pittsburgh 28–5 13–3 T–1st (West) NCAA Sweet Sixteen
Pittsburgh: 89–40 38–26
UCLA Bruins (Pacific-10/12 Conference) (2003–2013)
2003–2004 UCLA 11–17 7–11 T–7th
2004–2005 UCLA 18–11 11–7 T–3rd NCAA 1st Round
2005–2006 UCLA 32–7 14–4 1st NCAA Runner-up
2006–2007 UCLA 30–6 15–3 1st NCAA Final Four
2007–2008 UCLA 35–4 16–2 1st NCAA Final Four
2008–2009 UCLA 26–9 13–5 2nd NCAA 2nd Round
2009–2010 UCLA 14–18 8–10 T–5th
2010–2011 UCLA 23–11 13–5 2nd NCAA 2nd Round
2011–2012 UCLA 19–14 11–7 T–5th
2012–2013 UCLA 25–9 13–5 1st NCAA 1st Round
UCLA: 230–105 118–58

Pitt in the four years after Howland:

2003–04 Pittsburgh 31–5 13–3 1st NCAA Sweet Sixteen
2004–05 Pittsburgh 20–9 10–6 5th NCAA First Round
2005–06 Pittsburgh 25–8 10–6 T–4th NCAA Second Round
2006–07 Pittsburgh 29–8 12–4 T–2nd NCAA Sweet Sixteen

I don't think you can call anything on UCLA in one year, but it seems to me that after Howland rescued Pitt from obscurity he built into a program that continued on the path he created for the next four years, more or less. Can't really say they "got better," IMHO.

As for UCLA, he also rescued them from the dumpster and took them to the NCAA Finals. I predict that they will live to regret hiring Alford as compared to Howland.

I would take him here in a second, and IMHO St John's would be remiss if they aren't doing their due diligence on a coach who has succeeded at the highest levels of the Big East, the Pac-12, and the NCAA tournament.

That would be the third team for Birch :unsure:

Does Coach Calhoun know that there is a salary cap in the ACC?
