Cronin is the name that I would imagine is a no brainer for Ohio State
How much would Xavier hate Miller if he leaves again?
Have to imagine Juwan Howard's seat is really warm too.
Funny that OSU pulls the trigger and doles out a 14 million buyout. Meanwhile Iowa boosters love what Fran is doing with the program.
FYI CBS eye on CBB pod has a nice ISU/potential 2 seeds blurb starting at about 19 minutes in.
So...Ohio State open...Michigan and Indiana might open...Iowa...won't open!
tOSU opening could be anyone. From an established guy like McDermott to one in and right the ship, to Pat Kelsey at Charleston for the up and coming vibe (Ohio native).
Alford to Indiana is a no brainer, right? His Nevada teams have been pretty good.
Couple of guys on that team we could have our eyes on if he leaves too.
Florida Atlantic coach Dusty May is an Indiana grad who was a student manager under Knight.
McDermott to Ohio State
DeVries to Creighton
Alford to Indiana (finally)
May to Louisville
Dark Horse: Cronin to Michigan

Greg McDermott really sticks out on that list. Not in quality of coaching, but quality of individuals.
(I’m not cluding Paris or May on that since I’ve never actually seen them coach I don’t think). But the rest of them are terrible on the sidelines or in
tOSU is a better "job" than Creighton but at his point in life, I don't think it's better for McD. Do 5 more years at Creighton, let them build your statue, and then enjoy retirement at the same time Doug is probably done with the NBA.
Is tOSU a better job than Creighton? Creighton is in a better basketball conference and is a bigger name right now. Yes tOSU could probably pay more, but he’s making over a million a year in Omaha. Is the money worth it?
I get it if Creighton were still in the Valley. But that program is so much better off after their move.
Why the hell would it be open? He's went to 5 straight Ncaa tournaments and is only 1 game under .500 this year with a bunch of freshman and role players.
JFC some of you guys need to get a clue. It's not even remotely the same situation as Ohio State.
