If John brannen was racist Justin would be screaming it by now. I can assure you of that.

No one liked the guy. You don’t have to be racist for no one to like you. You just have to be a jerk.

No idea if John is racist or not. Plus it’s a loaded word with so many different meanings.

But I do absolutely love that UC is seemingly putting a lot of focus on interviewing non white candidates. They are all qualified and legit coaches who just need someone to give them a shot.

The more diversity the better IMO and the head coaching in D1 has been lacking in diversity. It’s a league where the player pool is extremely diverse but the leadership level is mostly White Male.

I really like John Cunningham. He’s better than people give credit.

I went to high school with Ryan and know him, he’s just messing around lol, there’s no validity behind in me that tweet

He wasn't the only source of the smoke... But he seems to have been what started it. Things are quieting down now, wonder if a few other people took the tweet and ran with it. Still nothing reliable.

Can you calculate "ton of smoke" into % for the analytic geeks

Somewhere between 0% and 100%.

Bill Cunningham now reporting that Ryan Pedon is the favorite, so who knows.

Maybe every hint of Erik Martin smoke gets blown out of proportion because he is the local guy.

Yeah, I'm ready for it to end. I think we can pretty safely conclude that there will be no announcement today (Darren Davenport ceremony starts at 4 and ends at 8).

So let's hope for tomorrow... I'm starting to think this is going to be a Friday announcement now.

I thought the funeral was yesterday. Either way I want Davenport on my team not ifs ands or butts about it. He's my hero right now
 
Rothstein just tweeting Wes Miller as emerged as a serious contender. And that Pedon is another primary candidate.
 
I'm out on Wes Miller. Has only had an offense in the top 150 once. Took 5 years to have his first winning season in the Southern Conference.


hard pass.

The first short list candidate we've heard that has college head coaching experience. I don't know how I feel about him though. His recent teams have been good because they cause a lot of turnovers and crash the offensive glass. That fits the traditional Cincinnati style basketball that fans like. His recent teams haven't been very good shooting the ball though. They don't get to the free throw line and have very few shots blocked, so they're not attacking the rim. They have very low assist rates, so they aren't passing the ball to get open set shots. On defense, they give up a ton of threes while also fouling a lot. I'm just not convinced. I don't understand the case for Wes Miller over Casey Alexander, or even Scott Nagy for that matter.
 
After convincing myself I'm ok with Martin, and then being ok with Nored, I'm now scared to death again at the prospects of Miller and Pedon.
