Fiance, not wife. I agree, generally with what you are saying, but emotions without facts are not good. Apparently she was the aggressor, not him and since she stated she didn't want him arrested and she stated the argument was about their relationship, I'm going out on a limb and guessing he was having second thoughts and she was pissed. Who knows but he wasn't charged and in this country that matters. Pitino, though, did dip his pen in the inkwell. That's the difference between yep it happened and, emmm probably not.
Coaching News Supposedly Coming
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
People make mistakes and there is a good chance the next coach will to. There aren’t very many saints in the basketball community, they all have their flaws. Any of those flaws could end up being a negative hit on Louisville. There is no way to vet them all.
Beard appears to be too risky for Louisville. While I don’t agree with Glassman he isn’t alone. I respect that line of thinking at a place that has struggled with their image.
Like many have said hire the right guy doesn’t matter who they passed on.

Well to be fair, Pitino received no penalty (some would say was vindicated) from the ncaa for the Bowen situation. Given that, had pitino not been fired, my guess is that attendance - provided the on court success stayed constant - would have remained high.
And the very real perception that ego and hubris got both - but certainly Jurich - fired would have definitely turned into a story about how their resolve kept the program going.
I mean - not for glassman but… 😂
You are correct there, uk has no morals or doesn't even blink at bad PR. Just look at their history of coaching hires. Drunks and known cheaters. As long as they win every misstep is washed away.
I don’t want a saint for a coach, I want a coach that is arrogant, competitive and has a fire inside him. No nice guy who loves his players and soft spoken. That guy can be my neighbor by not my coach.
Dusty May has the traits I want in our next coach - runs a modern offense that is predicated on motion and moving the ball. He stresses discipline and accountability. He learned from Bob Knight but ditched all of Knight’s assholery. The fact that he took FAU to a Final Four and then was able to keep that roster intact despite many NIL poaching attempts tells me a lot. He also works at an adidas school.
I think May would be great. I am not sure he would kill it out of the gate but I think he would be a great long term hire.
"assholery" now that's a funny word! And a darn good description of Bobby Knight
If there's any truth to the Deener scenario at the start of this thread, May sure seems like a very plausible option 2. I think he would be a good fit here.
The main thing for the next coach is they want to be here. A lot of the guys mentioned have won at a high level. And done so at places with much lower expactions for men’s basketball than U of L. They don’t need to prove anything.
Also got to figure in cost of living and take home pay comparing Waco, Texas with Louisville, Kentaxky. Check your paycheck stub. Now imagine Ky and Jefferson County deductions were going in your pocket.

I just don't understand why you're still a fan of UofL based on what you're saying. The Porcini's stuff happened YEARS before the hookers and Bowen/FBI stuff.
I have a Catholic friend who was a big UofL fan before the Porcini's stuff and he stopped being a fan because of that. How could you tolerate Porcini's, but not Chris Beard? Do you see cheating on his wife and paying for an abortion okay to stay a fan, but not hiring an alleged fiancee choker? Just trying to understand where you're coming from.

If Dusty May doesn't get the Ohio State gig, he will certainly be considered for the IU job. Do we really think Woodson is going to have a turnaround season next year?
May agent is fully aware of the situation in Indiana. If IU was May’s dream job all he has to do is wait. Also if IU really wanted May they would have pulled the trigger on Woodson with both Ohio State and Louisville open.
If May takes the Ohio State or Louisville job he isn’t leaving for IU after a year. It would be equivalent to passing on a 1M house then the next year paying 18M for the same house. On flip side Louisville/Ohio State get a hell of deal.
The only question is May on the market, if he stays then maybe IU is his ultimate landing spot.

Just trying to stir up activity for his show?
If any of these people knew anything for certain they would say it. Not supply "cryptic clues" like they know something and just can't bring themselves around to sharing it for reasons.
I’d love to think Dweener knows something and that it’s Jay Wright but most likely it’s just signifying his nickname, Jagoff.
Good point, they have zero to gain from cryptic messages.
The guy is not posting the letter J on his feed and then holding on to some big secret for days. He knows someone would scoop him then he'd have nothing.
Which is exactly what he has. Nothing.
It's just another trolling of the fanbase.
I see no way Wade is in play with his show cause still in effect...
Yes, that was a very impressive win, and the whole FAU season has been an impressive follow-up to last seasons Final Four. I'm a bit surprised there wasnt more chatter about this one. Dusty May has to be high on the UofL list, and so it may be that we don't hear anything official for a few weeks while they keep playing, He looks primed to make another jump in class, and I'll be excited if he's our guy.

I’m hoping May is the super-secret #2 candidate behind Scott Drew that Deener was talking about. I love their style of play. They score at a strong clip and have great KenPom defensive efficiency ratings. That’s always a recipe for high end success.
Deener is trying to drum up listeners to his show. Don’t fall for it. His show is terrible no matter the UofL situation. I stopped listening when he smacked his “girlfriend”. Just an arrogant little, and I stress little, pric*.
He is a complete waste of oxygen. There is never any excuse to abuse a women, physically or verbally.

Schertz may end up being the guy. Was told today that Ohio State has zeroed in on Dusty May.
I don’t know enough about the situation to like or dislike Schertz. If this happens going from Drew to Schertz would be wild.
Interesting. You think if Schertz doesn't make the NCAAT that will affect his chances with the UofL job?
Drew is still the top target. After him things get a little more complicated. For instance would you rather have alot of money tied up in Mick Cronin or have Josh Schertz and a bunch of additional money directed to NIL?
What’s behind curtain #3? 🤔
