UCLA, Indiana, and Kentucky have all had disastrous searches in the last decade. Not that Indiana has been a blue blood for two decades, but nevertheless coaches don’t seem to give a shit about the history of a program. I thought Kentucky would be immune from all that but here we are.

Free movement changes the game entirely from a HS recruiting standpoint.

It's just an entirely different sport now... the paradigm shift isn't terribly dissimilar from the old Harvards, Yales, and Chicagos once being great at football, and now not even being in the game (figuratively and/or literally).

Hubert seems to be trending up but he went 8 seed, missed tourney, 1 seed.

What would the perception be of him if he didn't have that miracle championship game run in his first year?

Scheyer has gone 5 seed and 4 seed but this year he was able to get to the Elite 8 mostly because Shead got hurt and he lost to NC State.

Because while parity has increased (portal, NIL), expectations have not equally decreased

So by going to those schools, you get none of the previously built in advantages, but all of the previously built in pressure.

Blue blood status isn’t *entirely* meaningless, but it doesn’t make as much sense for coaches anymore.

Nick Saban controlled a mess of boosters and turned Alabama into a well-oiled machine. Eventually, what Nick wanted, Nick got.

Kirby Smart is running the Saban playbook and see the results.

Meanwhile, see the chaos at Auburn and LSU (football) - places with money, but without a coach to get the boosters to fall in line.

I don't think basketball brings out the crazy boosters in a way that football does. At a smaller scale, UK I suppose. Someday maybe Duke will once Coach K's shadow is further removed.

They lost their coach to a conference foe in part because of resources and internal conflict. They struck out on all of their priority candidates I’m sure for a variation of all of those reasons.

The game is changing, they need to change with it.

I would have assumed the bluebloods had the resources and would use them.

In fact, in my belief... what made a blueblood was that they could buy their way out of anything. Once you've lost your base so badly that you can't you're no longer a blueblood. It's why I still continue to worry about IU basketball and Nebraska football. They appear to still have the resources.

Absolutely, for various reasons. NIL, early defection for the NBA, transfer rules...

The days of the bluebloods getting the absolute best freshmen recruits and those recruits staying for 3-4 years to create powerhouse teams...that's generally over.

Obviously those schools have a lot to sell in terms of history, resources, etc. But the playing field has for sure leveled out.

Someone with experience in the mountain states and the west coast. Maybe a top assistant somewhere, as opposed to an existing head coach.

Pope is a member of the LDS church. If they insist on that as a qualification, that's a tough one.

Seems like there had been ongoing friction with Cal for a while, and his results had dropped to the point that he was feeling the pressure. Unbelievable that the AD was apparently caught completely flat-footed by him actually leaving, with just a list of dream hires and no second tier of more realistic candidates.

Kentucky’s NIL is supposed to be at the very top of the game and right in that same range.

I don’t think it’s that Cal wasn’t getting that level of support at Kentucky, it’s more that if he can get the same level of support at a place without insane expectations then why not do that.

Feels like in this current era your standing as a basketball program is much less about history/status and is really just about who has the most NIL to spend. In most cases the blue blood programs are also the ones with big NIL, but especially in the SEC these second tier programs like Arkansas/Alabama are no longer at any real competitive disadvantage to Kentucky.

I don't think it was about level of support, but it seemed like Cal had to do a ton of

personal glad handing for that support. He referenced in his intro presser that it would be nice to have the NIL in place already and that he “wouldn’t have to go out and do it”. He also referenced being able to focus on the roster more at Arkansas than he could at Kentucky.

But I don’t know what the situation he walked into was, or if he’s faced other challenges.

He did an amazing job at OSU and given his recruiting certainly seemed to be comfortable working with boosters and bags.

Scott Drew staying at Baylor

Social Misfit who wants to coach Illinois women's basketball.

"He's jealous of detlef."

I'm surprised that Drew got as much run as he did and he was the focus for UK

He's obviously a very good coach but he never seemed like a fit for me.

The Drew family is very religious and has primarily coached at small private religious institutions. Bryce went to Vanderbilt but that's not some big public school.

I realize it's Kentucky but I just never saw Drew fitting in at a large public school like UK.

Would've been an odd fit IMO. Nate Oats seemed like the better fit and I'm surprised he turned it down.

It's the SEC but I'm not sure if this stuff flies at the state flagship school

Agree with all of that. Never seemed like a fit.

Still feeling Billy Donovan, but I understand all the reasons why he wouldn't... no need to rehash.

I think it's him or Sean Miller right now.

...majority of his 50s in turning Illinois into a national player again, has put down roots, has an AD that will do seemingly whatever it takes to help him win, and is one of the 10 highest paid hoops coaches in the country. He's built up so much sweat equity that he's got unlimited job security for at least 2 years. He's got a portal program that is humming.

Obviously, we're all biased here, but I can't see leaving at the age of 60 when all of that is in place. Nobody else, and I mean nobody, can guarantee all of that.

He’s a 60 year old coach that has been to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament one time. Kentucky’s AD is going to have to make a bigger splash than that for a fanbase that thought John Calipari wasn’t good enough.

I'd rather sweat a little bit whenever a big job opens up than not have to worry because our coach isn't on anyone's radar.

If we end up losing him to a peer school after all the musical chairs are filled out, that's a slightly different story. The end result would be the same, though: the important thing is hiring the right replacement, and we're better positioned to do that than we were in 2003, on a number of levels.

my life is nothing I thought it should be and everything I was worried it would become

I'd say it's the best position we have ever been in to replace a basketball coach.

Some will say 2003, and I get it, but Illinois was a different operation then. It was missing the forest for the trees.

Not anymore.

There’s never been a time where simply being a blue blood program is less of an advantage. Recruits don’t give a shit about it and other programs like Arkansas with super rich donors are every bit as capable of success as you are. Almost all these “recruitments” are just straight financial negotiations now.

The Athletic article about Calipari complaining about UK not using resources for basketball

Seems like Calipari got more assurances from Arkansas than he did from UK.

Relationship was fractured and now UK is trying to prove to other coaches that they will commit more resources but that might be tough after seeing what happened with Cal.

It’s a convenient excuse for Calipari, and might even be true

But his results fell off before the new recruiting landscape took over. While I haven’t paid really close attention, seemed like they were still landing plenty of 5 stars. And given that his approach was based on 1 and done players, it’s not like the portal should have been a factor. He was losing most of his best recruits after a year already. If anything, continuing to execute that strategy should have helped him relative to the competition, since everyone else was suddenly having to scramble and manage large roster turnover while UK’s situation was unchanged.

Maybe he knocks it out of the park at Arkansas, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Seems to me like he’s lost his fastball, and just isn’t the coach he used to be, for whatever reason.

I disagree with this a bit

Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=CanHartlebHireSnider' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on April 11, 2024, 11:12:56, in reply to "It’s a convenient excuse for Calipari, and might even be true "

Firstly Calipari's complaints about the school's commitment weren't new. It goes back a few years.

Secondly I completely disagree that Calipari system was an advantage because he was already used to roster turnover.

I think he was actually disadvantaged a lot by the new era of college basketball.

10 years ago Calipari was able to recruit the top talent on the floor and other schools had to develop their teams over multiple seasons. If they took a player that didn't develop or pan out they were stuck with them for multiple years. It was much harder for schools to remake the rosters. Calipari had the easier ability to always put elite talent on the floor.

Nowadays schools can put together top rosters on a whim with veteran presence. A bunch of top notch 3-4 year experienced players playing together to me is an advantage of Calipari's system of routinely relying on freshman.

I think the new era of college basketball uniquely affected Calipari and I think when he goes to Arkansas he will transition much more to the new era and be more successful. Maybe not as successful as his early years at Kentucky but I'd expect them to be a top SEC team.

It’s an interesting question

Posted by DT <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=DT' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on April 11, 2024, 11:59:48, in reply to "I disagree with this a bit"

At a global level, there is the same amount of talent in college overall as there was before. So there are three potential impacts on UK and their relative position. First, has their recruiting level changed? Second, the impact of the higher roster turnover. And lastly and most importantly the distribution of talent across programs.

On recruiting, it looks like UK’s class rankings haven’t dropped—they are still landing #1 rated classes on the regular, and if not #1 then close to it. However, I didn’t actually look at specific recruit rankings—maybe other schools aren’t focusing as much on prep recruiting or else NIL has led to more top kids going to random places. So UK is landing top ranked classes without landing the same number of top 5/top 10 kids. This could be an explanation for UK landing similarly ranked classes but not doing as well, which could fit with Cal’s complaint about lack of resources.

On the turnover side of things, I think that was definitely a net positive for Cal at UK relative to other schools, since they now have this additional challenge while UK’s situation was unchanged. Maybe not a huge plus for UK, but still a plus.

Lastly there’s the shakeout of overall talent distribution from the portal and the much larger volume of transfers. My guess, based on theoretical considerations, is that this will probably made the average high major school a bit stronger, as so many of the better midmajor players were able to jump up a level. But it probably has lowered tge level of the top 10-15 schools in any given year. First, the traditional top schools are no longer able to stockpile rosters full of higjky ranked recruits and plug them in to replace graduating players. And you’re also less likely to see a team like the 2005 Illini where you have a roster full of upperclassmen that have all played together and learned the system for three years, the teams that are a culmination of longer term roster building and player development.

Given that UK is looking to compete at that top 10 level, if not m right about that impact(although I’m open to any actual data or analysis that might confirm or deny my educated guess above), the new landscape should also have worked to UK’s advantage, by lowering the level of other programs at the top of the country.

Not an awful way to finish off his coaching career and sail into the sunset... and if he happens to win there...

I guess he could get near that money in a lot of college jobs, but could he get another NBA job if the Bulls thing doesn't work?

I guess... Monty Williams is proof of that.

But he's the guy I think ultimately ends up there as of right now. I think UK's nutbag alum base will scrounge up Nick Saban-like money for him.

With the portal and their $ for NIL, I'm wondering if it's almost a little more NBA like now for a school like UK. He wouldn't have to worry about kissing HS kids' asses. Maybe he actually spends more time at home this way. The NBA grind is 6 months of constant travel.

Agree wholeheartedly that they are simply different gigs.

I'm just not sure UK "settles" for somebody like Nate Oats, and I'm not sure Bama lets him get away now that they've nearly reached the mountaintop.

Would Scott Drew or Bruce Pearl really be the guy that their fanbase reacts positively to?

Donovan already turned down UK once. I’d be very surprised if he went back to college

I can’t imagine anyone who’s entrenched in the NBA wanting to deal with the college game. Especially someone who’s been out as long as Donovan has and the game has changed so much.

Donovan has long seemed to want to be in the NBA dating back to when he accepted the Magic job.

I didn't think Nick Saban would leave the Dolphins, and Bama wouldn't let him say no.

I'm just wondering out loud if the same thing happens here, 17-ish years later.

Nate Oats would be a hell of a get, but I don't think Bama just lets him go without a big fight. Doesn't he have a monster buyout?

Nick Saban was a mess with the Dolphins.

He left while the Dolphins were collapsing and he realized he didn’t want to be in the NFL.

Saban was also only out of college sports for two years and the landscape had hardly changed as much as it has with Donovan.

Donovan has seemed to really enjoy the NBA. He’s been out for a long time. The landscape has completely changed. He’s fine for a while with the Bulls but I also imagine that he could get another job in the NBA.

I don’t think the two situations are comparable.

That’s a pretty shit job compared to Arkansas.

Also shocked that the Arkansas donors didn’t just go the Calipari route from the start if they knew this was an option based on Calipari and the big Tyson donor being pals.

To further emphasize the disparity between SLU and ISU. Schertz was making $365k at ISU this year. SLU paid Travis Ford $2.3mm

As far as I can tell there is virtually no smoke out there on it, and the fact that it hasn't even been mentioned here probably tells you all you need to know.

But the Sleepers guys thought enough of it to do a video on it today:

I love Werner and Piper and latulip for straight facts discussion of Illinois, but the other illinois specific shit is bad (buschon, illiniguys, Ryan Evans or whatever his name is, etc.), so they fill that hole with something generally listenable and approachable and with a mostly positive spin.

But they’re generalists, not Illinois experts. They know less about the intricacies of the program than most people here. So you’ve (the royal you, not you you) got to take it as such.

The Board Room is affiliated with Robert, and they do a good job. A group of friends who have a lot of fun with it. Get some decent interviews occasionally like Ken Pomeroy.

Champaign on Ice is a couple of young guys, but their analysis is quite good IMO. They are fans but I would call them more "realists," whereas The Board Room guys are hearts-on-their-sleeves fans in the Robert mold.

But without watching the video, I would hope they at least acknowledged that there was probably nothing to it rather than acting like it’s some serious issue for Illinois. I don’t mind a clickbait headline as long as the actual content is reasonable.

They know that Illinois fans are who puts money in their pockets though.

Oklahoma State is hiring Western Kentucky head coach Steve Lutz to fill its vacancy after firing Mike Boynton, the school announced on Monday.

The 51-year-old has only been a Division-I head coach for three seasons but made the NCAA Tournament in each campaign. He coached Texas A&M Corpus Christi from 2021-23 before his one year with the Hilltoppers.

Before becoming a head coach, Lutz spent time as an assistant for Greg McDermott at Creighton and Matt Painter at Purdue.

Oklahoma State parted ways with Boynton last month after going 119-109 with one March Madness appearance in seven seasons.

Feels like there was an agreement there to let him develop with Fletch this season and then find a home elsewhere. Bummer because I really feel like he could have played a role here, but it feels like we’ve currently got a backlog of ‘play a role’ backcourt players and not enough surefire starters for those spots.

In this new transfer era you’re going to be forced to adapt year to year, but I don’t think you want to be completely reinventing your style of play every year.

And I also hope the style we settle on isn’t one that involves having a bunch of non-shooters in the rotation.

Seemed to be a consensus assumption that he was definitely transferring as of a month ago, but the recent play has no doubt put that in question from our side. But that recent play could also mean that other people are willing to give him a decent sized bag, and how high do we want to guy that wasn’t really playable for much of the season? You’d need to feel confident that the late season version of Dain is what you’d be getting all the time.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

Dain = Eddie McGee... just look at it through that lens.

Except this time yoyo was right. He's not a bum slayer. He's actually good, and a huge asset right now.

My guess is once the noise dies down, whenever our season ends, he will be in the portal. Just a guess.

Question is whether we can get him back, or if bridges get burned.

I agree that this version of Dain is a good and valuable version.

And I thought he should have at least gotten a handful more minutes per game throughout the season.

But I also think Underwood isn’t an idiot, and there’s a reason why he wasn’t getting a lot of minutes for most of the season. He wasn’t rebounding first and foremost, that’s the same thing that gets Guerrier relegated to the bench. The switch clearly flipped late in the season, but all I’m saying is that if you’re going to allocate a good chunk of your NIL to him, you have to hope that you get this dialed-in version of him on a more consistent basis.

At least the rumors are that Illinois is flush in hoops NIL $... and this run can only help.

FSU has been wanting out.
Clemson just filed suit.
North Carolina might be the prize that the SEC & B1G really want.

USC will be in the B1G, which isn't a shabby hoops league either. Maybe USC just isn't going to make the basketball commitment.
