I feel like I need to send a fruit basket to Arkansas for getting him the hell off the air.

Good for him though. He was a decent assistant under Joe B.

The frick are we doing up there?

Joe Foley is sitting in Little Rock taking UALR to 7 straight 20+ win seasons on top of his epic run at Arkansas Tech and the U. of A doesn't even look at him.

Yeah definitely seems like a weird hire. Has he coached women before?

This is a weird story.

Dykes still lives here, though. Still weird.

Didn't Blair get fired for being perceived as "anti-lesbian"? I thought that was what it was between him and Bev Lewis.

Still, hiring a guy named "dykes" is overkill in the reparations department.

Womens BB is like 80% of how good you recruit, Foley wouldn't be able to recruit, he has the personality of Petrino.



This could end up awesome or an epic failure.

It's the splash hire among splash hires possible for women's basketball.

Everyone at ESPN is tweeting Dykes and Arkansas. Andy Katz, Lobo, Lawson, etc.

@RebeccaLobo: Won't be long before we're covering Arkansas women's hoops in the NCAA tournament. Congrats to new head coach @JimmyDykesLive. #GreatHire

If not that is the butchest straight woman in WBB. She wears the pants in the relationship, that much is obvious.

More coaching experience than I thought.

quote:

Before making the transition to working for ESPN, Dykes served as an assistant basketball coach at University of Arkansas, Appalachian State University, University of Kentucky, Arkansas State University, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and Oklahoma State University. He has also served as a scout for the NBA's Seattle SuperSonics.
