Not surprised to see Grant listed here because of style of play, but I'm not sure he'd leave Bama for UT with him just going into his 3rd year at Bama.

Marshall seems to make the most sense here.

You would think you would have learned by now to not type in definitive statements. Let me help you:

That's the truth and it's far better information than anything you're being fed on any Arkansas message board.

And no one has approached Coach Anderson in the Arkansas money camp. That's just an outright lie.

The exciting thing though is that your basketball team will always be young...at least that's what Mike Anderson seems to say every year, lol. I wish Arkansas better luck with Anderson than Missouri had with the guy.

The downside with Cuonzo is that you're likely in this same situation a few years from now if he has any success at Missouri. Any chance Kim Anderson gets a look?

Reports are that Dayton's Brian Gregory has been offered the Georgia Tech head coaching job.

http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/georgi...oops-job-29587

This is less than 4 days after the 2 highest-rated recruits UD has gotten in YEARS left the program, citing in large part irreconcilable differences with the coaching they had received while here as a reason for leaving.

Gregory is signed through 2017-18 season, so most UD fans were pretty much resigned to the fact that we are stuck with him due to the fact that we don't have large boosters with pockets lined with cash to bail us out of a giant contract like that.

Many UD fans (including me) would be pretty pleased to see him go, but he does have some good points too.

Hmm...both Georgia Tech insiders sites are saying that the Brooks report is the first time they have heard this and have not been able to confirm. (By sites, I mean the reporters employed by those sites, not the board posters.)

Butter · 03-25-2011, 05:18 PM

Yeah, I was surprised to see it myself, so wouldn't be at all surprised to learn it is false.

Butter · 03-25-2011, 05:19 PM

Gregory took his name out of the running for Iowa and Boston College last offseason, so even if he was offered, he may not leave.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-25-2011, 06:29 PM

I believe there would be considerable disappointment with that hire in Atlanta IMO. And that's probably an understatement, considering that the only known interviews to date have been Price, Neal, and the Tulsa coach.

If this is the best they can come up with, it's time for a new AD.

Definitely agree with the understatement. Not sure I would go so far as the last sentence.

The more I read, the more I think this is a bogus report.

I am reading there may be an announcement on a new coach by Monday barring a huge upset tonight and another victory by said underdog on Sunday.

With the assumption that the list of candidates interviewed to date that's floating around today is accurate, I'd argue that making this hire represents either dereliction of duty or simply outright stupidity.

Painter is the #1 option. It will be interesting to see how that all plays out. Painter to Mizzou would likely mean Cuonzo Martin to Purdue. Painter staying at Purdue would probably mean Cuonzo would be one of the top choices at Mizzou.

cartman · 03-25-2011, 11:11 PM

So that means Painter definitely isn't going to Mizzou. Unless he develops a Blu-Ray that can control a Microsoft Kinect that creates time travel to bring Mike Anderson back to Mizzou and sell 15 million PS3s and cause all Xbox 360s to spontaneously RROD.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 03-27-2011, 10:17 AM

Absolutely thrilled with how our AD is handling both the Anderson situation and the new hire. Still points to a Painter hire sooner rather than later. Surprised how easily Purdue is willing to let him go, but it sounds like Painter was pretty pissed when Crean got a better offer than he did. Even Purdue fans are posting on both Purdue and Mizzou message boards that Painter is likely gone.

Throw enough shit at a fan and something has to stick, right?

Actually, from what I have read from different articles Missouri does have some qualities he would like however these articles were very Missouri based. Realistically, I think to myself why would he make this move? In which Im having a hard time finding a good reason.

Im not going to use terms like "likely" and "100 percent" which come back to bite a person in this ass but personally I dont see Painter leaving Purdue for Missouri.

RainMaker · 03-27-2011, 11:33 AM

I don't see why Painter would do it. Seems like a lateral move at best and he's coaching at his alma mater already. I would think this is just being used to get a better deal from Purdue.

MrBug708 · 03-27-2011, 11:38 AM

He kept above the fray during the Anderson mess and is doing a great job targeting and quickly acting on a high-profile coach that is extremely interested in our program. If you would have told Mizzou fans last week that Anderson was leaving and that they could have Painter run the program, most would have been overjoyed at that prospect.

I'm guessing you aren't aware of this, but Indiana, not Purdue is Painter's 'destination' job. He was a huge fan of IU in his youth. Also, there's not likely to be a better deal. The Purdue AD is known for tight control of the budget, which includes underpaid coaches. Mizzou is reportedly offering somewhere between $2.3-2.5M guaranteed to Painter. If so, there would be little to no chance that Purdue would come even close to that offer.

Report that official permission has been granted to MU to speak with Painter.......

If Indiana is his dream job, why not just wait a year for when Crean is fired? He's got his type of players at Purdue, Hummel will be back next year, and he should be able to put together a tourney team again.

I'm sure that's part of his thought process. I know there's been a discussion about a rift between Painter and the AD regarding salary and direction of the program that's been ongoing. Keady is privately throwing around his opinion as well, only creating more issues.

Alden reportedly met with Painter yesterday in Florida, so we should start hearing some fallout one way or another over the next few days. Mizzou needs to move quickly to get their new hire with a top-notch recruit still considering Mizzou.

True, but it's a bit different situation when the primary suitor is facing NCAA violations. If OU didn't have the dirty laundry, it would probably be a different story.

SPRINGFIELD - Missouri State head basketball coach Cuonzo Martin announced his resignation from that post on Sunday (March 27) after three seasons with the Bears. He will be introduced as the next head coach at the University of Tennessee during a Monday press conference in Knoxville.

During his three seasons at MSU, Martin led the Bears to a 61-41 record, including 50 combined wins over the past two seasons - the third-most victories in a two-year span in school history. His 2010-11 squad finished 26-9 overall on the way to the program's first-ever Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title and 15-3 league record. The Bears fell to Indiana State in the finals of the MVC Tournament in St. Louis on March 6 and capped an unforgettable season by advancing to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament.

Martin was named 2011 MVC Coach of the Year, making him the first Missouri State sideline boss to earn the honor. He was also recently named as one of 16 finalists for two national coaching awards -- the Hugh Durham Mid-Major National Coach of the Year Award and the Ben Jobe Minority Coach of the Year Award, presented by CollegeInsider.com.

WOW!!!! That certainly provides an interesting twist. Purdue was counting on Cuonzo as a good backup option if Painter decides to leave Purdue. That makes the Painter situation all the more urgent for Purdue.

Young Drachma · 03-27-2011, 07:35 PM

Wow, UT eh? I guess he didn't want to be someone else's backup. Hope the sanctions that come down at UT don't impede him too much.

DeToxRox Head Coach Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Michigan	SPRINGFIELD - Missouri State head basketball coach Cuonzo Martin announced his resignation from that post on Sunday (March 27) after three seasons with the Bears. He will be introduced as the next head coach at the University of Tennessee during a Monday press conference in Knoxville. During his three seasons at MSU, Martin led the Bears to a 61-41 record, including 50 combined wins over the past two seasons - the third-most victories in a two-year span in school history. His 2010-11 squad finished 26-9 overall on the way to the program's first-ever Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title and 15-3 league record. The Bears fell to Indiana State in the finals of the MVC Tournament in St. Louis on March 6 and capped an unforgettable season by advancing to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. Martin was named 2011 MVC Coach of the Year, making him the first Missouri State sideline boss to earn the honor. He was also recently named as one of 16 finalists for two national coaching awards -- the Hugh Durham Mid-Major National Coach of the Year Award and the Ben Jobe Minority Coach of the Year Award, presented by CollegeInsider.com.

Hope the sanctions that come down at UT don't impede him too much. __________________ Current dynasty: OOTP25 Blitz: RTS meets Moneyball \| OOTP Mod: GM Excel Competitive Balance Tax/Revenue Sharing Calc \| FBCB Mods on Github Last edited by Young Drachma : 03-27-2011 at 07:36 PM.
