Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23

I looked at staffs Archie has worked on going back to his Arizona days. The only assistant he’s worked with that I could realistically see coming here is James Whitford. Whitford and Archie worked together at Arizona and Whitford was most recently the head coach at Ball State for 9 years where he wa...

My guess is he goes to a power conference, rots away on the bench for 1-2 years and then transfers down to mid major conference. A tale as old as time.

Re: 2024 Coaching Carousel

I know Pepperdine is a dead end job but this is the best they could do? A re-tread who hasn't been a head coach in 20 years and was below .500 at Wright State between 1997-2003. There had to be some young plucky assistant coach eager to climb the ranks as opposed to a 58-year old re-tread.

Only Tchikou and Weston came from higher conferences. Obviously, those two didn’t work out but not much has in the first two ye...

I wouldn’t bet this line, but if I did, I’d take UNH +5.5 on FD. URI’s confidence has to be shaken based on the recent losing streak, and even against cupcakes URI hasn't shown a killer instinct. I think URI wins narrowly, but UNH keeps it close to the final buzzer.
