Of the 7 ex-NBA coaches on the college ranks this year, 5 made the tournament. 4 made the Sweet Sixteen.

It is rumored we are strongly suggesting he keep Pettway and bring back Phillip Pearson to ease the recruiting transition.

Whether you like it or think it's dumb, this is happening. Personally, I'm torn. I can see huge upside with this hire. Or I can see us treading water. This is a boom or bust type hire.

It's obvious we contacted Miller and he turned us down. You don't jump from Marshall to Prohm/White otherwise. With those two you know what you are getting: just as much risk, probably not as much reward. It's a gamble but it's a gamble with a big payoff.

Who are the 4? I can name Cal and Petino, but both of them had found success in college before going to the NBA
