That was an Ekker team and WKU stomped the Bills. Yeah ol' Nolan Richardson (Bowie High School El Paso TX) did alright at Arkansas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purnell did well there etc. WKU has a basketball history that is surprisingly good. They have been to the Sweet 16 six times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad on this one, it was Clem Haskins. I corrected my post. Clem was All Ammerican at WKU and had all those issues at Minnesota years later.

Yeah so what I'm saying is no way they take CTF off our hands. I'm hopeful for a surprise firing like that Soderberg situation. It came as a surprise. Fingers crossed Chris Mack......Greg Marshall......come on Dr. C. MusicCityBilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulsa is another program with a history of hiring good coaches. Whoa check out this list of Tulsa HC that won Coach of the year.

There’s all kinds of baggage but berating players crosses the line. Understood but they did play and play well. Maybe he's learned from it. Just a sucessful Midwest available coach. But the point is probably moot for now. Rodney Terry wins B12 Tournament at Texas. Not sure how many games he needs to win in NCAA Tournament to be hired. I fear he's a Crews because he's never had success anywhere else and he's doing it with a staff, team constructed by Beard. Of course Dick Vitale only mentioned Texas keeping him 800 times. I just read there's possible interest in Donovan as he's on the hot seat in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 ABomb I seriously doubt we’re in the market for a new coach. I wish we were, but I think they’re gonna stick with Travis. I would guess his leash is tightening though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only happens when another Richard decides to pull the funding plug. Money talks and let’s hope Fred listens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
