Porter Moser is in shambles.

Until McDermott signed his most recent extension it was going to be DeVries. Kind of like how it was going to be Tommy Lloyd at GU until he decided to go out on his own. Good move to lock up Huss.

Kinda shocking. Wonder if Greg McDermott is thinking of hanging up the towel soon and handing off the reigns?

Goodman's tweet says "it'll likely be in the next two seasons."

Boeheim was two years from retiring for like 10 years.

Doubt it, unless he doesn't care for portal BS. He is doing well there and in Beast, as well as dealing with Portal.

Mike Hopkins was supposed to be the coach in waiting there until it never came and he bolted for Washington. By the time Boeheim got out of the way Hopkins was being ushered out for 1 NCAA appearance and some middling PAC12 finishes.

Right but their coach in waiting hadn't just made himself an extremely desirable mid major coach at a school with zero basketball tradition. A lot easier to say "any moment now" to an associate HC than to drag a top assistant back to that position after they proved themselves.

That's a good point.

Didn't read the tweet, huh?

Keefe ensured Scoop that Hopkins was going to kill it at Washington and Syracuse missed their chance to force Boeheim out to keep him around.  Hopkins wouldn't have bolted for Syracuse after his major success at Washington, he said.

Keefe, as it turns out, wasn't of sound mind

That's sort of where I was with it too.  He was mentioned with a lot of openings this cycle.  He's a known commodity with a great track record from his prep school days and what he did at High Point was remarkable.

Assuming that McDermott timeline is indeed true, that's a great get for Creighton.

Wish we had a coach in waiting.  Creighton is lapping us.  Shake needs to adapt.

As an ex-Warior living in Omaha there have been nights of fear and trembling from my CU friends and neighbors listening the constant rumors that he was going to leave after this last season for greener pastures. They are relieved this morning. As an FYI - I also retired from CU. I was their Director of Purchasing for the last 12 years of my career. The additional unconfirmed rumor is his house in West Omaha went up for sale recently. Looks like he has a plan. Although the house sale could be just a way to avod a 40 minute commute.

FIFY.

It seems like he's become quite skilled in putting his name out there to get raises from Creighton.

Did anyone call his HR department to let them know?

Well we were assured by his friends that that's just his humor and it'd totally be a joke even when done to a poster he had zero relationship with.
