the Roy Williams thing has been coming for a while, I think, he definitely was lacking in got-dang fire the past couple years. just an unfortunate day for the announcement.

whoever takes charge of that team is gonna have to find some shooters quick because having Kerwin Walton and nobody else doesn't work out too well

Roy's actually leaving the cupboard pretty bare, not like Bill Guthridge bare but definitely to where it will be a challenge at a job that will absolutely not let you write off year 1

Seems like you'd want to give him at least a year or two to shift things, a Shaka Smart team is probably not one set up to play Beard ball.

That’s to be expected of any new coach though.

The team regressed under Shaka but I don’t think they regressed far enough to be unfixable within a couple of years.

They basically need a whole new team but considering there are a 1000 transfers to choose from I think UT will be an easy sell. Like always.

Juwan Howard won the AP Coach of the Year. Well deserved and probably the right choice.

as the world turns
Took a team projected for mid-pack of the Big Ten, with two 5-star signees dumping him at the last minute, and turned them into Big Ten Champions. Got a NCAA #1 seed and an Elite Eight appearance after losing his second-highest scorer (a probable pro). Had nearly no effects from a 3-week state-imposed lockdown. I'm not aware of anyone doing a better coaching job this year.

i mean Mark Few. People knew Gonzaga was good but even that is largely a testament to him and I don't think anyone expected them to completely lap the field and wind up in the discussion for best team of all time which they very much have a chance to do, and it's kind of dumb that you can only be considered the best coach if people were wrong about you preseason anyway. But whatever Howard is really good

Garza won player of the year which is good and cool

also I guess Tech offered Beard a lifetime coaching position and he didn't even let them counter offer. Tech fans are very mad on twitter. I feel like every fanbase eventually has this happen and then grows up.

Looks like Adam Miller is transferring from Illinois.

https://mobile.twitter.com/jeffborzello/status/1377731334588731393

I doubt this is an April Fools joke, seeing as this was also reported by the local paper in Champaign Urbana.. Not sure what else he's looking for. Dude started almost every (maybe every) game for the Illini as a freshman. Unless he's worried Curbelo is going to steal the spotlight and he's going to be option B, which I don't think would be the case but can understand it. I thought he and Curbelo would be a great guard duo next year. Who knows.

Word on the street about miller


quote:

so behind the scenes there were a lot of unhappy people in his camp. Mom was a pain in Underwood's rear end all year about his usage and a little jealousy of Ayo. Remember, he wasn't planning on playing WITH Ayo. Last straw was the number of tickets in the NCAA tourney, lol.

So, he gets home, people around him feed into it.

Didn't make All Frosh team, all conference, etc.

He wants the ball more, but the reality is he isn't that good at it.

Illinois was surprised, but they feel like they will get better guys with the number of players in the portal. .
