Coaching Carousel

Dave - here's a recent opinion article.... LINK
He believes the Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell is not going to be fired, and Pikiell does have a fine 2025 recruiting class coming in,
that is ranked in the 30-40's range in all of Division I basketball.
.....but he does note that the current Rutgers University President will step down shortly and his successor is to be named in April.
We know how that went here in Peoria.
 
I do follow Trilly Donavon (anonymous college bball insider) and he says Arizona St should be opening up once eliminated from the big 12 tourney

If he truly has eligibility he could do really well in the Valley, but his ego won't allow it.

he has played in four seasons
2020-21** at Illinois
sat out 2021-22
2022-23 at LSU
2023-24 at Az State
2024-25 at Az State
**but 2020-21 does not count against his eligibility (Covid year), so he has only exhausted 3 years of eligibility, and still has one more.)

His minutes, points and rebounds all went down this season over the year before, and if a new coach is hired, possibly he'd be looking
to finish his career elsewhere. Anyone else remember there were people posting (elsewhere) back when Adam Miller was IN 7TH GRADE,
that he was good enough back then, as a 7th grader, to be a star in the MVC. Now, here we are a decade later, and he's maybe the 5th or 6th best player
on the worst team in the Big 12. But still, I think I'd be surprised if Hurley gets fired, if for no other reason than they'd take a lot of criticism from
fans and from media who love the Hurleys.

Adam Miller would be another Trey Pettigrew. His attitude doesn’t match what Wardle is looking for in a player. Good player, but ego by far exceeds his talents
 
wow- it's kinda common knowledge that a coach who is in his final year of contract with no extension will have an incredibly hard time recruiting, because nobody wants to go where they have a strong suspicion their coach will be gone next year. Possibly even the younger, talented players on the team could even look to transfer

Might be different now since every player is a free agent after every season anyway.
 
Minnesota fires head coach Ben Johnson
he’s 56-70 in 4 yrs there, was making $2 mil/yr, and has a buyout of $2.92 million. He was a UNI assistant 2008-12.
So the 1st Big Ten job opens…Mike Woodson at Indiana said he’d step down at the end of the season, but their season hasn’t ended yet.
 
Before joining the Creighton coaching staff under Greg McDemott, Ryan Miller had been an assistant coach at 7 other D1 schools- South Dakota, Memphis, Pepperdine, New Mexico, Auburn, UNLV, and TCU. In his time as an assistant coach, Miller crossed paths with a former Bradley coach.

Miller was at New Mexico from 2007 to 2012 under head coach Steve Alford. When he left in 2012 to take an assistant job at Auburn, Alford promoted his Director of Basketball Operations to fill the assistant coach position. That person was Drew Adams, who got his first coaching job in 2012-13 with Alford because of Miller leaving. Coach Adams remained an assistant coach at New Mexico until 2015, when he was hired as an assistant coach by new Bradley head coach Brian Wardle.
