[Da Coach]

Missouri has offered their head coaching job to Cal's Cuonzo Martin. He was also said to be a possible consideration for Illinois.
http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=2...457390485007-4

Reportedly, Cuonzo Martin will hire Michael Porter, Sr. as an assistant coach at Missouri. Michael Porter Sr. was recently hired at washington by Lorenzo Romar, who was just fired. His son, Michael Porter, Jr. is the #1 ranked player in the high school class of 2017, and although he verbally committed to Washington, he never signed a NLI. So Cuonzo is already making smart moves that will help insure his success at Missouri.

...
Cleveland State - Gary Waters steps down -....

Here's something that may be of interest to Bradley fans...

The Cleveland State position is open and one of the candidates mentioned for the spot
is Stony Brook's coach Jeff Boals...
If Boals is hired, his current assistant coach is Geno Ford. and quite possibly, since Geno knows Ohio better than he knows New York, then Geno would go with Boals to Cleveland State (Cleveland State is also where Jim Les started as a player)

But even more Bradley connection...the top spot in the Cleveland State Athletic Department was open as John Parry announced he would retire last fall..
The process of hiring a new AD had been moving slowly

https://www.campuspressbox.com/2017/odd-lack-intrigue-cleveland-state-athletic-director-search/

Their former AD - now the AD at Georgetown, Lee Reed - is not interested in returning to CSU, but then they hired the guy Illinois just fired with all their issues & scandals, Mike Thomas!
Reed played on the same basketball team with Jim Les back in the 80's, and is a friend of Jim Les.

http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/index.ssf/2017/03/cleveland_state_scribbles_thre.html

however it was mentioned that one of the other candidates who was not chosen was Virnette House Browning, who is in the Athletic Dept. at CSU and was once the acting AD at Bradley, and was brought in here by KK, but left after Cross was hired.

Another BIGGIE

Tom Crean fired at Indiana - IU will pay $4 million buyout and hire someone else...

COULD any of their players or signees be interested in playing here?
(Freddie McSwain?? )

[Da Coach]

Indiana fans are a bit unrealistic. Now the majority sentiment from fans is they want Steve Alford. I don't think Alford would want to deal with the situation at IU, and he's got a pretty good deal at UCLA. Others want Brad Stevens, or I am hearing Billy Donovan, both now coaching in the NBA. They probably wouldn't give up their lucrative pro deals for the job at IU either. I think they might go after Chris Mack, Archie Miller, or open the bank to try to get Mark Few. We'll probably also hear Gregg Marshall's name thrown around. Indiana has an almost unlimited amount of money they can offer if necessary. IU grad Mark Cuban has donated millions to their programs, though he might not be so happy to do so now, since he was a friend and supporter of Tom Crean.

On the other hand, Crean will have plenty of other offers.
