after yet another disappointing home loss - the Indiana fans' message boards are on meltdown mode..
they want to fire Tom Crean and hire Gregg Marshall...apparently long time Crean critic Dan Dakich (who was fired as interim head coach when Crean was hired) was really taking pot shotsComment

2 years ago, Liberty University made a great run through the Big South Tournament and went to the NCAA Tournament. But this year they finished 8-24 after their first round loss in this year's tournament, and moments after their final game's press conference, their AD announced the firing of their head coach Dale Layer.

too bad - it's probably hard to recruit there, I doubt they will do better than Dale Layer..Comment

Dale Layer's last 3 seasons were 15-21, 11-21, and 8-24. This year they finished with a 347 RPI, by far the worst ever. Maybe they expect they should do better than an RPI almost at the absolute bottom of D1.

I know - the numbers don't look good the last couple years....and that's what drives these decisions - but a lot of people believe Dale Layer is a good coach - and time will tell if he takes his next team to the NCAA Tourney like he has the past two teams he's coached.
In 2011 he was the Conference's Coach of the Year, and in 2013 he went to the NCAA Tournament after winning their conference tourney.
Prior to that Liberty had an NBA caliber player who would have given them plenty more wins from 2009-13 except for the fact the kid was lured to transfer to Duke..and they lost two other top recruits to transfer..
..and this season three of their top players and starters were injured with broken bones and season ending surgeries, including their top scorer..

One writer mentioned that ex-BU assistant Pat Beilein might be a candidate for the open Citadel job.
If you recall, Pat Beilein was hired last fall as an assistant video coordinator for the Utah Jazz under coach Quin Snyder.
However - he no longer works in that position and now appears to be doing some volunteer assistant coaching and scouting with his father, Michigan head coach John Beilein.
Here he is being photoed scouting some high schoolers.
Someone correct me if I am wrong here - but isn't it a strict NCAA violation for anyone who is NOT officially on the Michigan coaching staff to be involved in this kind of scouting and recruiting function? Hmmm...Comment

Former Bradley assistant Howard Moore was just fired by UIC. His record was not good- 49-111 in 5 seasons after taking over for Jimmy Collins. He was 10-24 this year in his 5th season, and he actually did have one overall winning season, going 18-16 in his 3rd year (2012-13), but he never came close to a winning record in the Horizon League, and his RPI was 290 or worse 4 of the 5 seasons (it was 173 in 2012-13).Comment

his assistants were forced out last year and new assistants hired so we kinda knew this was coming unless he had a great season -
....names already being thrown out are
"NU's Armon Gates, DePaul's Billy Garrett, Illini's Paris Parham"..
but the reasons those guys are being touted are the exact same reasons they touted Moore when he was hired and he didn't get it done there...Comment

Another Illinois D1 coach is fired- Former BU assistant Lennox Forrester was let go by SIUE today after 8 seasons.Comment

some names being thrown out - none officially..Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
Armon Gates, Deon Thomas (already an assistant at UIC), Dave Leitao, Billy Garrett, Tracy Dildy, Paris Parham ...and Jerrance Howard
...wouldn't it horribly ironic if they hired Jerrance and were back and strong and recruiting well in Chicago in a couple years while we still languished at the bottom of the barrel?Comment
