Re: 2024 Coaching Carousel

Excellent payday for Byington, most likely, but not a great job historically. I will be interested in following his progress there. Coaches have humongous egos. They all believe they'll succeed where everyone else has failed. Some just need more money than others to take those jobs. Undead Little R...

Corny played for Dom Perno. He was good and was the main reason URI lost the ECAC New England championship in 1979. I was there at the PCC.

Iron Dukes' half-court defense reminds me of John Chaney's -- looks like a 2-3 zone but they're guarding their men and ready to trap at the seams. VCU looks like a Baron team against a zone.
