Some news on the coaching changes-
Brian Gregory takes the Georgia Tech job.

Dayton associate head coach Billy Schmidt may be a leader for the Dayton job.

Associate Head Coach Rob Senderoff is named the Interim Head Coach at Kent State. this move freezes him at KSU for now while they determine what they will do for a head coach.

Eastern Washington has hired Jim Hayford as their new head coach.

Florida Gulf Coast has supposedly narrowed their search to 3 or 4 candidates-Miami associate head coach Jorge Fernandez, Florida State assistant Andy Enfield, and Alabama associate head coach Dan Hipsher are thought to be the final three. But Todd Lickliter may still be a possibility.

Purdue's Matt Painter is supposedly visiting Missouri.

And some names being mentioned to replace Cuonzo Martin at Missouri State- three MSU assistants interested- Jon Harris, Kent Williams, and Steve Woodberry. Also Southern Indiana head coach Rodney Watson, and former Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel interested.

[Da Coach]

Now being reported by several sources that Matt Painter will accept the Missouri job at 7 years/$14 million bucks.

Some think Purdue will make a strong push for Brad Stevens of Butler.

I guess money talks. You would have to believe the Purdue job being in the Big 10 is more desirable. Mizzou was left out of the expansion.

Here is one more rumor-
King Rice, an assistant at Vanderbilt, and a former assistant at Illinois State appears to be the leading candidate for the head coaching job at Monmouth (New Jersey).

The Beaumont Express has pubished a list of 54 applicants for the Lamar head coaching job-

http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/default/article/Lamar-has-54-applicants-for-men-s-basketball-job-1313369.php

Has anyone ever seen a more pathetic list of candidates?
Most of these names I have never heard of before, including many who are not even working as coaches, or who have never coached, some who are coaching at low levels, and some who have no college experience, and one as young as 22 years of age.
