Instead of pledging to make reasonable facility upgrades, which was the final hurdle in hiring Billy Gillispie, it appears U of H has decided to do things on the cheap and hire James Dickey. I really think they should now consider leaving C-USA and joining the Southland, since they don't want to spend the money to compete. Amazing.

Thats a slap in the face to Conf. USA. and to the school...You get what you pay for Houston, enjoy your ride down even more.

It's as if Houston, East Carolina, and Tulane are in a race to see who can crater their program deepest.

Speaking of Tulane, Dave Dickerson is out. Let's see if they give an indication they actually care now.

I dont know if Billy G. would agree, but here is Tulanes chance...I hope they atleast try anyways.

Billy G must not be getting good references from his former employer.

 

[myrobbins7]

Please dont get me started on his former employer Brian..

 

[McCat]

I'm not sure I'd advise Billy Clyde to try and get his feet back under him in New Orleans.

Aren't they dropping C-USA?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Aren't they dropping C-USA?

Nevermind, I think that's New Orleans.

The coaching carousel in college basketball may actually be more entertaining than NBA free agency this year.

True true...

Houston is tied with Iowa for the second most head-scratching hire of the offseason. St. John's is in a class all their own at #1.

Pretty sure New Orleans is actually in the Sun Belt conference. (With WKU)

Bingo.

Actually, UNO has withdrawn from the Sun Belt and has begun the process of dropping to D-III.

This has to be the worst strand of hirings I have seen in my lifetime.
