Oh man, oh man, oh man

We might not be finished with the coaching changes...

I think I would die laughing if that happened.

If Calipari leaves, wouldn't Kentucky automatically go on probation? I mean why break tradition? It has happened to every single college team he has left.

Unless there is an opening that I have missed, all coaching vacancies are now filled.

For us? We're down 1 assitant coach, correct? He has Pettway and Simon. We need one more.

Wrong thread. This thread is for the head coaching vacancies that happened after the end of this past season. All of them are now filled since LaTech hired a replacement for Michael White.

I think the topic, though, is if the Kentucky job were to come open, if Cal left for the Pelicans (NBA).

That is a topic of this thread but not the topic. If Cal leaves then, yes, UK would be added to the list of coaching vacancies. Last I heard Cal had strongly denied the rumor that he was considering the NO job. My response was to a poster that thought I was referring to the UA coaching staff being full filled which is another thread.

Fred Hoiberg to the Chicago Bulls opens up the Iowa State job.

Good catch. I saw that story earlier but didn't think about updating this thread.

Prohm replaces Hoiberg at Iowa State. Interesting that two coaches that were high on Bama's list have now stepped up to bigger jobs.

 

[RTR91]

Prohm goes from Murray State to a top 10 team. Talk about stepping into a prime situation.

Timing is everything. From what I've heard Prohm was who we were targeting until CAJ contacted us. I would have been disappointed with us hiring Prohm just because he is not a proven commodity at this point but he may turn out to be a great coach. You are certainly correct about him being in a prime situation. I'm pulling for him to do well.

[h=1]Sources: Kings probing John Calipari about coaching, front-office jobs[/h]

The Sacramento Kings are probing University of Kentucky coach John Calipari about his interest in taking over the franchise's front-office and coaching jobs, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Calipari has been communicating with owner Vivek Ranadive and other members of the Kings ownership group in recent weeks, league sources said. Calipari has listened to scenarios with which the Kings could offer him complete control of the franchise's fledgling basketball operations to go along with coaching, league sources said.

No formal offer has been made to Calipari, and Kings ownership understands that it will take a multiyear financial package of $10 million-plus annually to get Calipari to seriously consider leaving Kentucky, sources said.

In recent weeks, Sacramento ownership's intrigue with Calipari has only grown with the dissolution of the relationship between All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins and coach George Karl, sources said.
