Seriously, our coach's million dollar package should be a rounding error in the overall basketball program. You only need eleven and a leader. The Vines would be standing room only. I dream like this because of all of the many Thanksgivings I spent thinking, "I wish we had a game this weekend." Next thing I knew I was driving to Villinova. Go Flames!

He got an extension after this year so my guess is he got a raise.

Wow, talk about a quick hook! Donnie Tyndall got a whole year with a depleted roster, went 16-16 and he's gone?. Too bad that walk-on PG who transferred in didn't get a waiver to play this year. 8)

If he gets canned, it's because of NCAA violations that became apparent after he was hired.

Would that be violations under his watch at Southern Miss and/or Morehead St?

JB discusses the MBB coaching search, among other things, in an interview with Nick Pierce.

http://www.liberty.edu/flames/index.cfm ... 23&TeamID=

No names mentioned, of course, but he talks about the high level of interest in the job and gives credit to JLFJR for building the reputation of the school. He reveals that one or 2 candidates are with teams still playing in post-season, and it will be a tough decision with a number of "very highly qualified Christian coaches interested" but he hopes to have an announcement in "another week or 2."

It's just me thinking out loud, but after looking I'm not even convinced that's his account for sure. not sure it isn't either. I still think it's too early to draw any conclusions as some candidates aren't available yet. Hope one is later tonight.

Don't read too much into that. Meyer has previous relationships with many at LU. Do Driscoll & Turner even have twitter accounts?

Talks popping up for the GMU job. It looks like we will unlikely get either Steve Prohm or Levelle Moon based on recent reports, so Jeff Meyer is looking more likely now.

I think that Mark Jackson will be near the top of St. John's list. Whether they get him or not is a different story.
