2022 Coaching Carousel

Please hold while Tom finishes yelling at the clouds.

Unfortunately, no. I was watching the PGA Championship will skimming the boards and — as GS pointed out — I completely got Lange and McCall mixed up. I do agree with Earl that SJU is a a glutton for punishment for brining Lange back. And not that it matters, but I was inspired by how the UMASS players rallied around McCall and Anthony Grant's response after their game.

Back to multitasking...

I think the word here is bankrupt?

This is a very good hire for East Carolina. Schwartz is a defensive genius.

 

[GMUgemini]

We haven’t talked about exit clauses for English yet: no reciprocal scheduling I could see, but there is a $1 million buyout clause (which is peanuts for Mizzou, but would help us immensely in our next coaching search).

Hope he sticks around!

$1 million means a lot more to some SEC schools than others. Missouri would be one of those schools.

The timing could kill us. Missouri takes four weeks trying to convince hot coaches to accept the job. None do. They turn to KE. Other schools have already made hires. We are left with the scraps.

Are you saying it’s a lot for them? It certainly is a lot to pay for an as yet unproven coach. Hopefully it gets them to look elsewhere.

The flip side of that is that Kim gets pissed that he's their fourth choice and decides to stay at Mason to finish what he started.

Or, he could just respectfully decline to be considered for the position now.

 

[GMUSSTN]

I'm not in CKE's head but there's a lot of reasons the Mizzou job would/could be worse. It's starting over, AGAIN, merely one season after he started from scratch here. He's got a pretty long leash among the fans and administration at Mason and Mizzou would be higher pressure to perform sooner. There's no guarantees his recruits follow him. If I'm him I'd keep working on my resume by doing better than 9th in the A10 and let some other guy come in and do the redeveloping, then get hired on the next pass. That is considering Mizzou is his "goal"...not everyone has a dream to coach at their alma mater.

Still, if he's gonna go we can't stop him. At least the University showed us last year that they are willing to fork over the cash and hire someone who can potentially turn the program around and aren't satisfied with a ho-hum team where we never finish better than 6th in the conference and everyone transfers after their junior year to a school that actually makes the tournament.

Furthermore, he could build something really special here. Something his, something legendary, something even OCM couldn't build. Some call it Gonzaga of the East....but I think Mason World in Plain English sounds cool too (ok, its corny)...... To name a few, Dean Smith, John Wooden, Bob McKillop, Mark Few, Scott Nagy, Rick Byrd are Kings, imo, in college bball. They stayed put. Stayed committed to their students and program. They were true teachers of the game. Dedicated to learning. Not dedicated to chasing money. If this is about money, I get the fast money is enticing, but then you get fired, forgotten, and back as an assistant, or worse. There is tremendous value to Kim's position at Mason. Living in the most diverse, the most powerful area in the world, has to stand for something. Especially for a man of color and a father of two girls. The question is, does he realize he is sitting at the footings of his own Kingdom?

The PGA Championship is in May, so I'm assuming gmutom means The Players Championship
Big difference, IMO.
And I like having the PGA in May instead of August. One major a month from April through July works. Before, the PGA was an afterthought played in some scorching conditions. Much more manageable now.
Back to coaching........

Well gather 'round children let me tell you a story
'Bout a man who stuck 'round at Mason instead of chasin' glory

3/14/22: 60 Second Update… - HoopDirt

Here’s today’s 60 Second Update with HoopDirt.com’s Adam Nelson…

[Earl the Squirrel]

Or, he could just respectfully decline to be considered for the position now.

Or, he could decide that the A10 coaching ranks are deeper then he thought, and it's best for him to take a bite out of the apple now -- which likely will set him up financially for life (3-4 yrs at Mizzou @2million per year).

I tend to think that KE takes a broader, longer-term view, and didn't get into coaching to maximize his returns in the short-term.

I hope we don't lose him. Would be a gut punch and we would find ourselves behind Saint Joes, going into next year.

 

[JPgmuswim]

I really don’t foresee us losing KE after 1 year, he’s an exciting young coach but at the end of the day he finished with a losing record both overall and in conference play.

He can recruit at a really high level, but there were some signs that his in game coaching is still a work in progress.

I’m looking forward to seeing what he can build with some extra openings to fill. He gave everyone on the roster a season to show what they can do, he obviously wasn’t too sold on them when we were scoring 2 points a game from the bench and our walk-on started getting minutes.

 

[GSII]

Paramount Pictures is now in the mix. They want Kim to star in Misson Impossible 8.
