I believe this to be current -- but in this morning's PJ star they quote Dr. Cross as saying there have been 32 coaching openings and only SIX have been filled.
ONLY four positions have been open as long as the Bradley position and yet remain unfilled...a..
.....and only THREE have "coaching searches" that have been going longer than Bradley'sLast edited by tornado; 03-25-2011, 04:17 PM.Comment

From the Wyoming website on 2/7
"- University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman announced on Monday that the contract of head men's basketball coach Heath Schroyer has been terminated effective immediately. Wyoming's current Associate Head Coach, Fred Langley, will serve as the Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2010-11 season.
"I regret having to make this decision to terminate Heath's contract at this time, but I feel it is in the best interest of our program," said Burman. "We are grateful for the time Heath has been our coach. He inherited a difficult situation, and his actions here exemplify his character and support for his players and UW. While winning is key to a successful program, we cannot lose sight of the off-the-court progress this program has made under Heath's guidance. We were nationally ranked for APR (Academic Progress Rate) improvement and Coach Schroyer recruited numerous young men who have represented UW with class on and off the court - I for one applaud him for those efforts."
"Although I am obviously disappointed in the University's decision to terminate my contract, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as head coach at the University of Wyoming," said Schroyer. "I am grateful to President Buchanan, Tom Burman and the entire university community for their support of our basketball program. I also want to thank the great student-athletes that I have had the privilege of coaching here at Wyoming. I love our team, and I believe they have a bright future on and off the court."
Schroyer's current contract would have expired at the conclusion of the 2013-14 season. Under the terms of that contract, UW will pay him $160,000 per year for the remaining three years, said Burman. No state funds will be used to payoff the balance of Schroyer's contract.
Schroyer was hired as Wyoming's head basketball coach on March 23, 2007. His record over the past four seasons at Wyoming stands at 49-68 (.419). His record in the Mountain West Conference is 16-41 (.281). The Cowboys are 8-15 overall this season and 1-8 in MWC play. The highlight of Schroyer's four-year tenure at Wyoming was a 19-14 season in 2008-09. That season also marked Schroyer's best conference record at 7-9, and the Cowboys earned a bid to the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) tournament where they lost at home to Northeastern, 62-64.
A national search for a head coach would begin immediately, Burman said.
So the Wyoming AD was not truthful that the search would begin immediately? Even your own link says the search began then?Comment
-
again -- I am going by sources that said the search would not begin until after Selection Sunday..
This column details that almost all their travels, interviews, etc..have only been in the past week or so...
If you want to count earlier -- then so be it...I acknowledged Schroyer was fired in early Feb...Comment

It is being reported that Georgia Tech has offered their job to Dayton's Brian Gregory-
The Dayton newspaper, which was beaten to the story, reports that Dayton denies it-
It is interesting that this article quotes the Georgia teach AD, and he does not deny it.
I guess we'll see how connected this blogger is.
And it's reported that Tennessee is interested in Shaka Smart (VCU) and Donnie Jones (Central Florida) after being turned down by Xavier's Chris Mack.
