2023 Coaching Carousel

Talk about recency bias. Nothing against him, but he has one year as a D-1 head coach, at a low-major, and produced a sub-300 ranking. If not for that one game last week I doubt Iona would even answer his agent's calls. I hope he proves me wrong though.

He was the runner up when they hired Pitino in 2020. Dude won tons of games at D2 STAC.

Very little recency bias.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with recency bias. Anderson is a legit coach.

Bucknell Bison New Coach Alert:

His dad was the head coach at Siena in the early 80's before Mike Deane and at St Joe's. Congrats to his son.

FDU names Jack Castleberry head coach. Also was an assistant at Siena as was Tobin Anderson, the man he replaced who is the new coach at Iona.

I thought that was a familiar name (as a Siena alum). Thanks for the information.

I think the bias is on your part, ignoring his prior coaching record.

I understand what you are saying. He also took a 4 win program and turned them into a 20 win team in one year and beat a number 1 seed. I guess what I’m saying is you can look at it both ways. Definitely a gamble, but not many options for a MAAC school. He also has the best job in that conference and is close to his recruiting area. Could be a grand slam hire. Could be a disaster.

Maybe only a rumor but…..

Think I might fade Providence every game until English gets fired

He runs the best out of bounds plays I’ve seen. They execute very well.

Seems like a weird fit doesn’t it? Does McDermott really fit the “holy great” image ND try’s to portray?

Brian Kelly, their ex-football coach?

Notre Dame has real challenges in basketball but it’s a much better bball brand than PSU. Micah should hold out for a better offer in a year or two (I think he’s gonna continue to be good) and just make sure he has a good escape hatch with the Penn State contract (not a crazy buyout).

Penn State has made a pretty serious commitment to basketball over the last 5 years or so. They used to not care one iota and their facilities reflected it. Notre Dame is also presumably appealing because it's where Shrewsberry is from.

Not identical situations, but if Dennis Gates can get $4M/year from Missouri like he just signed for, I think Shrewsberry would command something similar from Penn State and Notre Dame.

He’s going to ND, official

BTW, I've heard from someone who knows people in his family that this was discussed before FDU beat Purdue. I've read he interviewed for the job when Pitino got it.

I don't like that some of our rivals/peers have made some fantastic hires. Even UB looks like they will be as well.

Red better be the guy!

He was really good this year. But his team consisted of 8 seniors, 5 of them super seniors. He did a great job. Penn State is going to be hurting next year.

Wow, ND big boyed Penn State. All that money but it wasn’t enough to keep him in State College.

I wonder if PSU pivots to Langel now?
