I don't know if BC is in a meh stage, UConn definitely isn't. Syracuse is in big trouble. I do think BC, UConn, and UMass can all be good at the same time, it's happened before. It's better for all three programs if they're all good.

UConn is starting to turn around, but nowhere near what it was and has yet to show it can sustain success. BC is floundering in both revenue sports.

But sure, competition does sometimes lift all boats. Probably ought to include Providence in the New England mix, too.

SMU seemed like a lateral move, I didn't really understand it.

That isn't a lateral move at all. The American is a league that will get 4-6 bids every year, CUSA is a 1 bid league. In addition to that SMU has recently had top 30 recruiting classes. North Texas has never even made the team ratings and the highest they've been was the 7 best class in CUSA.

I'm guessing that SMU didn't offer him the job, he'd be a massive fool not to take it if offered. I guarantee whomever they hire will make more than McCasland will at UNT.

Truth. Not sure McCasland would be able to afford a house in the Park Cities at his current salary.

Not saying SMU isn’t the better job, but next year is the last year conference affiliation is one of the factors

True, but there will still be a hell of a disparity between those athletic departments and basketball programs.

SMU could certainly be a better job but if McCasland likes his roster for next year, it could make sense to maintain his successful program than start over now.  He'll likely have a better shot at P5 opportunities next year by staying put.

Who's on the hot seat next year? I don't think anyone in the Big 12 or the SEC with all this year's turnover (except maybe Kentucky). Arizona State, Pitt, Wichita State, Memphis?

The only one of those jobs he could get is Wichita State, but that job won't be open next year, not unless they go like 2-14 in The American.

https://theathletic.com/3259027/2022/04/20/from-shaheen-holloway-at-seton-hall-to-mike-white-at-georgia-tiers-of-power-6-mens-college-basketball-coaching-hires-for-2022/?source=nbatw

Ranked below Holloway, Sean Miller, Jans, Payne, Scheye, Gates, Golden, McMahon, and Willard.  :dubious:


Quote
Tier 4
Jerome Tang, Kansas State. Mimicking the Baylor model in the Big 12 is a defensible philosophy. Hiring one of the architects of the Baylor machine is a defensible move. The inflection point is Kansas State deciding to do everything Baylor has done, and continues to do, to keep that machine humming. And, to a lesser extent, how much geography matters in the endeavor; Baylor is located in the Land of Basketball Talent Plenty known as Texas, and Kansas State is, well, not. Tang deserves this shot. He’s been extremely picky, too, so we have to surmise there’s something he sees here to convince him it was time to leave Waco after two decades. Postseason success is not ancient history here — 10 NCAA Tournament appearances between 2008 and 2019 — but this is a rebuild, full stop, in a blast furnace of a league with a first-time head coach leading the way. A lot could go right. A lot could go wrong.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

If they think KSU is inherently hamstrung in recruiting then I don’t see how any coaching hire would ever get us above that tier.
