Anderson was very successful when he was at my old school.

I guess he couldn't make it work at a higher level.

Actually changes started much earlier this season as GW fired Londergan, NC State fired Gottfried and Antigua was let go at USF.

Also, it was announced today that Benford is out at North Texas. They are a Conf USA school.

I hope that Coach Pike got commitments from his assistants that they would not look elsewhere for at least 2 years.

Hobbs and Knight signed 2 year contracts. Jay Young signed a 1 year contract, if I remember correctly.

Indeed, if this staff stays together for two years and hits a tournament - NIT or NCAA, then we will have to worry a little bit more however, I also believe they may want to stay on longer with that kind of success. I know I would...

I dont think our coaches leaving are of any concern at this point. Not enough wins. People recognize our improvements and how our future is bright. But no one is cherry picking our AC's at this point for HC roles.

Still amped about Saturdays win!

I think Groce and Miles survive---------but they both need an NCAA appearance next year.

Thompson and Brownell at Clemson IMO are next up .

According to my Illini buddy, Groce has the top class in the B10 coming in so he'll survive. He is disliked by the alumni, again, according to him.
