"Below is the entire statement from UMass Athletic Director Ryan Bamford:

'In December 2016, UMass officials took prompt action when they learned, for the first time, of allegations concerning the December 2013 conduct of members of the men’s basketball coaching staff and student-athletes. At this time, UMass took appropriate measures including hiring an outside investigator to independently review the matter. This review found no evidence to support any of the allegations regarding the conduct of student-athletes or coaching staff. The NCAA has not notified UMass that these allegations constitute a violation of NCAA rules, and the NCAA has not indicated that any investigation is being considered. UMass is not aware of any evidence that any violation of NCAA regulations occurred.

Last week, UMass made a change in the leadership of its men’s basketball program. There is absolutely no connection between the decision to relieve men’s basketball head coach Derek Kellogg of his duties and the lawsuit or the allegations it contains.'”

Anthony Grant is a Dayton alum, would be interesting to see if he gets a look if/when Miller moves up.

Quinnipiac?? Is Schmidt a Q alum? I would think that is s step down, isn't it?

 

[p8triotfan4life]

Quinnipiac?? Is Schmidt a Q alum? I would think that is s step down, isn't it?

Yes but apparently Quinnipiac wants to pay $800k/year. Sometimes money talks.

It'll be interesting what happens at UVA. apparently Illinois wants to offer Tony Bennett $4.8 mil/year If that happens, Tony takes the money and runs.

I'm hearing there could be an announcement on Duquesne's new head coach tomorrow. Working to confirm it.

Developments on the Will Wade front. Per source, Clemson has entered the mix. His agent is also looking for a high $2M/yr contract #vcu

 

[Walter]

Will Wade - the $2 million man.

Will Wade - the $2 million man.

If I were vcu, I'd let him walk at that price...take the next man up.

 

[MasonSAE4]

PSA: the vcu boards are better than Brazzers this morning

 

[Petey Buckets]

And another one - Will Wade to LSU, per just about everyone on twitter. Story coming. Shocked by this one.

Wow what fun to see!

If Im Wade.....34....and a P5 rolls in offering longer term guaranteed money....yep put me on the charter flight.

NCAA Hoops is now an ugly business. Take the money and set yourself up. If he doesn't last 6 years, he's still under age 40, got a bank roll and will get a gig at UNCW, FGC, FIU or FAU.

Why the F not?

So it appears Mike Rhoades and Jamion Chrisitian are the initial names.....

This is why you make moves:

Martin resigned as coach of the Golden Bears on March 15 after posting a 62-39 record in three seasons. He signed a $21 million, seven-year contract with Missouri, which makes him the highest-paid basketball coach in the school's history. He'll make $2.7 million in his first season, with that total increasing by $100,000 annually over seven years.

Martin has incentives of up to $605,000, including $50,000 for a Southeastern Conference championship and $25,000 for SEC coach of the year. Additionally, the contract details a number of provisions, including two courtesy cars, a country club membership and an additional $1.1 million budget for basketball-specific staff.

vcu's new slogan: play here and we promise your coach will leave you and we will always exit the NCAA tournament early!

According to the vcu fans, Wade didn't even tell his players...
