Why is there no talk about buying the top coaches in hoops like there is in football?

Yea we tried that. We offered 4 million a year to Greg Marshall. And there is no comparison of Texas in football to Alabama in basketball buddy.

BTW, the top programs do poach big name elite coaches. Roy Williams from Kansas to UNC. Calipari from Memphis to Kentucky.

Because it’s not as hard to be a basketball power as it is in football. Villanova is a small catholic school, but they can win a title just as easily as the next school. Also, the schools that are heavily invested in hoops can still afford to pony up money when their football program is FCS.

College basketball coaches Are a dime a dozen.

I could name 20-30 elite basketball coaches.

Either all ADs are fools and just never thought, “Hey, maybe it would be a good idea to spend more money to steal that really good and proven coach!” OR

They’ve tried and either A. Not enough money because the over pay necessary wouldn’t be worth it or B. The coach knows every year they will get paid more and instead of jumping to Bama they can wait one more year and jump to a blue blood that will pay even more.

I don't watch a lof of basketball so my opinion might be shite but it seems like there are more basketball schools than football schools. As in more schools that are seen as destination jobs than football. So there is less desire to move around because coaches are already at somewhere they can win at.

Because the teams with the money aren't good basketball schools. Unlike football, it takes more devotion than just throwing money at 5*s in basketball.

Looks like these are the elite hoopyshoot coaches, bama needs to renovate coleman and give saban money to any of these.
Coach k
Izzo
Boeheim
Calipari
Pitino
Self
Williams
Wright

Sure cal and pitino are cheaters but maybe they could promise to turn over a new leaf. I’m sure cal will tire of uk soon and pitino is available. Just go down the list with 7 million per year and keep increasing until one of these frickers take the bait.
Bama double nattie every year imminent
