I feel like every team between us and, like, #10 has lost this week. I could see us bumping up five or six spots on Monday—at least.

We should at least be top 15, with 2 huge games next week. Can't wait for Tuesday, TBA should be rocking!!

If we aren’t Top 15, the AP poll voters deserve jail time on no bail. We should jump Marquette, Michigan St, Ohio State and Wisconsin at the least. Both OSU and Wisconsin lost to Rutgers this week. But everyone loves to ride Wisconsin for some reason so who knows. Doesn’t really matter tho, just keep winning and the rest will take care of itself.

I was thinking that part of his contract about not being able to terminate ended at the end of last season?

I think it has to do with the date. Like, if he's fired before May, 1st, 2022, he's owed that much money, and it drops lower after this year. The problem, of course, is that firing him after May 1st makes hiring a replacement more difficult because the best coaches have been picked over, at that point. They've either signed elsewhere or they've signed extensions at their current school. So you end up taking a gamble on someone you normally wouldn't have even considered.

Maybe someone can find that date and amount in his contract.

I could have sworn it was closer to $8-$10 million. Interesting. I’ve heard his contract talked about a bunch on here and if those numbers in that article are true his buyout would only be $3 million after this season. That’s not bad.

It was what seemed like a well-sourced article, so I assume it’s accurate, but you never know these days.

But it's $6 million before May 1st. I think the date is the sticking point. By May 1st, most good coaches have already made their decisions, so you're scraping the bottom for names or hoping you catch lightning in a bottle.

I’ve always wondered why the new coach can’t be signed to some sort of agreement to be the head coach at a future date (after the buyout amounts fall) while letting the lame duck continue to be the official head coach in the interim. I guess the agent/lawyers have covered that scenario and would litigate. The “new” coach could be the Athletic Director in charge of basketball and if the “old” coach failed to perform his job as contracted then he’d be fired for cause. Instead coaches keep making out like bandits with annual comp approaching 8 figures (while maimed players only get short term medical provided for life long injuries).

Purdue down 10 in the second half to Maryland
Click to expand...
Wow, the end of that game. Terrrrrrible officiating to make amends for a poorly communicated message.

Maryland scores with 8.1 seconds left to draw within 1. Purdue ball inbounding after a made basket. Officials blow the whistle to review the clock and reset it to 7.8, but do not tell the coaches that it now becomes a spot inbound instead of a free-run inbound. They DO, however, alert the inbounding player that it is a spot inbound. And yet he still tries to pass to a teammate who jumped onto the baseline to receive a pass while out of bounds. Matt Painter goes nuts because the coaches weren't informed and that was the play he had drawn up.

Instead, it becomes Maryland ball, they inbound, and go in for a layup. Guy defending lowers his arms into the driver and fouls him, but no call from the refs who swallow their whistle because they felt bad about the communication error on their part. Then as Maryland tries to foul the rebounder, the refs call nothing allowing Purdue to just throw the ball downcourt to run out the time.

Sounds like a typically officiated college basketball game IMO

You are right. Really bad officiating. The clock timing was messed so the stopping of the clock was correct. But as you said the refs did a terrible job of keeping both coaches informed.

It is obscene how much effect the officiating now has on the game. They haven’t kept up with the faster play and twisting of the rules. Traveling/palming is laughable. Double dribbling is apparently no longer enforced. 3-second calls are only invoked if a ref is compelled to create a makeup call. Pippen’s lean in game for free throws is ridiculous. The arbitrary foul calls are maddening. The refs have been left far behind and something really needs to be overhauled. Adding the 3rd ref helped for a while but they obviously need something else to change. They can’t keep going to the scorer’s table to review numerous end of game close calls. The biases and potential for cheating is ruining basketball.

I’d start with adding a 6th foul for each player and unapologetically continuing to call fouls on the teams that assume the whistles can’t keep going as they strategically hack and hammer opponents while expecting the refs to even up inequitable foul totals later. I’m fine with teams using the keep on fouling and playing overly rough logging 35 fouls to their opponent’s 15.

Football has similar issues with the arbitrary holding and random pass interference calls. First world problems I guess.
