Agreed. Somebody posted that high profile coaches want coach at schools that are invested and committed to program success. This means having top notch facilities ( locker rooms , dorms for athletes with bells and whistles etc) that are in line with other elite programs and of course competitive salaries for the coaches. This is reality.I gotta say, if this is the best OSU can do then I'm scared sheetless about who we get after JB.
Option #12-15 seems like an exaggeration. Stevens and Donovan were pie in the sky scenarios. Never gonna happen, and they knew it. I shoulda have assumed Hoiberg was too. So who else did they supposedly target besides McDermott? I think they wanted a Midwest guy who knew the recruiting terrain, and isn't Holtman part of Matta's coaching tree since Matta coached at Butler?Oh yeah. Nothing against him specifically. It's more that OSU a school with money to burn, good facilities, great history, P5 team ready to roll is at option number 12-18 in a day. All the good coaches like where they are at. It's scary.

It is an exaggeration that 12-15 was closer to the number of vodka shots I'd had in my mixed drinks when I posted that. I don't know who else they approached, I get that its a bad time to hire and I understand that there are other factors. Its just really underwhelming that OSU got turned down by McDermott and is getting Holtman. I know OSU is a fball school but they have to be a top20 bball school as far as coaching job right?
What really great coach is going to leave his school at this time of year? Most recruiting over, putting the pieces together for the Fall,-------. Unless he is just greedy for money, he'd want to at least finish what he has started for the coming year.I gotta say, if this is the best OSU can do then I'm scared sheetless about who we get after JB.
I've read a couple of articles that talk glowingly about Holtmann's rapport and loyalty to his players. I have some suspicions this may not be accurate.
200% increase in salary and a better job has nothing to do with loyalty.
It's called economics and long term I financial stability.
Exactly, I left Syracuse and my family twice for a much better opportunity, my family understood and I'm sure the Butler team and university understand. Haven't seen any hate spewed towards him.
It's easy to call loyalty into question when someone else is getting offered millions over multiple years . We'd all jump at it if it was us.
Loyalty would be Butler matching the offer.It's easy to call loyalty into question when someone else is getting offered millions over multiple years . We'd all jump at it if it was us.

My guess (and you saw I underlined guess) is that most of them will stay in place at both places because it's so late in the year. The smartest thing Butler can do is to move the #1 assistant up to at least interim HC. After the season, there'll be movement all over the place, as usual.Wonder where this leaves Greg Paulus and the rest of the OSU coaches as well as Butler's staff?
Hey! Stop being so positive.We are absolutely top 10. Great coaches would line up outside the door for an interview. That said, we luckily have JB for a few more to bring home another Championship.

Word. I just didn't want to put in all the effort you did.Sorry. I forgot we are doomed. JB is too old, and doesn't even get out to see recruits anymore. Hop is gone because of him, and they hate each other. We're going downwards, and now we don't have Hop.
JB spends too much time watching City Rocks than recruiting. Damn him. Those consecutive winning seasons are just because of the cupcakes. Let's go all out for Jay Wright, or someone now before it gets worse.
What did I miss? Oh yeah, the zone keeps the top rated away. OB/HW/MD/BS/MM, and Geno just doesn't cut it, and he has too much faith in Frank, plus TT seems to hate him through an anonymous source. Tyus will be gone. What ever will we do?
There we go.
