Eric Musselman from Nevada hired - not Bill Musselman.

thx- just checking if anyone is paying attention

What a hoot. !!! - I am paying attention and here's another one related to the first...

Nevada - Bill Musselman leaving for Arkansas - Steve Alford HIRED

Eric Musselman leaving Arkansas - not Bill Musselman.

And on a separate note: Wow - Steve Alford now the head coach at Nevada. Interesting... It's virtually like Alford leaving the power 5 or power 6
conference and returning to the mid-majors. Too bad the Missouri Valley / Mountain West Challenge wrapped up last season - maybe it'll come back and Steve Alford can return to Springfield, Missouri for a game or the two schools can schedule a home and home games.

Cincinnati is reportedly going to hire Northern Kentucky coach John Brannen.

Uh, oh.....St. John's is meeting with Porter Moser tonight about their open head coaching job.

https://twitter.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1117870248663769089

There is no truth to the rumor that he will be offered the job only if Sister Jean comes with him.

St. John's is meeting with Porter Moser tonight about their open head coaching job.

Just reading more from St. John's fans and media.... some believe this interest in Porter Moser is a fallback option and maybe a bargaining chip for St. John's.
They have been pursuing their top choice, Iona's head coach Tim Cluess, but negotiations have stalled as he is apparently holding out for a bigger deal. So maybe this move is designed to get Cluess to accept the St. John's offer. If so, Moser will return to Loyola.

Hmmm..wonder if Porter got hired away would they offer the top spot to one of the Mullins brothers - whichever would take it...

[Da Coach]

There are multiple reports that Porter Moser has been offered the St. John's job. There are now unofficials reports he is nearing an agreement to accept the job.
This will be interesting.... St. John's was paying Chris Mullin $2 million per year. Moser's salary at Loyola was $420,000 per year, but he signed a 5-year contract extension a year ago and reportedly included an undisclosed raise. So it is likely that the St. John's offer would probably more than triple his Loyola salary. It's hard to believe he'd pass that up no matter how much he loves Loyola and loves living in Chicago.

As much as mid majors like the Missouri valley fans would like to believe otherwise, money talks. I’d like to believe moser would relish the challenge and competition of the valley, if I were him I’d take the pay raise for a losing proposition almost every time. Guys in that position end up recycling and ending up in similar situations later even if they fail after their first rapid advancements. It’s honestly my biggest worry about Coach Wardle for Bradley. If he jumps at a power 5 job next year following an outstanding season next year it would be a great opportunity for him regardless of follow up success at the next level.

Porter Moser has been offered.... Everyone now waiting for Moser's decision.... I bet Porter goes to St. John's for a variety of reasons..
