coaching changes and possible changes in the BE

[muskieman]

Seton Hall looking for a coach as Willard takes the Maryland job possible
Butler AD Barry Collier ponder future of LaVall Jordan Per Goodman

other changes
Louisville hired Kenny Payne
Florida hired San Francisco coach Todd Golden
Mississippi State hired New Mexico State coach Chris Jans
Kansas State hired Baylor assistant Jerome Tang
LSU hired Murray State coach Matt McMahon

and of course, Xavier hired Sean Miller

Oh and almost forgot South Carolina's board voted to approve Chattanooga coach Lamont Paris late on Monday night, while Missouri will officially hire Cleveland State coach Dennis Gates on Tuesday.
It's expected that Saint Peter's coach Shaheen Holloway will get the SHU job (Holloway is a former Seton Hall player)

listening to that "emergency" podcast with Rick B and Dan from Dana and Victory was interesting in regards to our staff. i would think Dante and Peters would be retained if they want to stay and Miller should do that. not sure on Jonas. if he gets offered top asst at an SEC school - UGA, FLA, etc then he's probably gone but maybe for keeping our recruits Sean may keep him as well. it's not like Sean has a staff he had that he wants to bring with him so this is different. they even discussed on the pod about Steele actually staying on staff as an asst. i give that about a 0.0% chance of happening. it just would not be right. however, he was BETTER in that role for X than he was as the head guy.

we shall see.

Without getting in to all details and reasons, I would like to see Creighton move out of the BE and another team closer to the EAST be added, if necessary.

Trying to keep the thread on topic Archie Miller is the New Rhode Island coach

[Xavier2005]

As the Seton Hall head coach moves to the B10 Maryland, he recommends SH to hire the St Peters Head Coach to replace him. The St Peters head coach played at SH and also was an asst coach at SH before becoming the HC at St Peters.

disagree. Creighton is a Jesuit school with BE values and is a good rival for Xavier. And they have a good program (better than our right now) and a good coach.

What?

A bizarre statement...Creighton is an exemplary member of the BE...granted they are THE outlier as to miles from the East Coast, but then again, X isn't exactly "East" either. I live in NYS, and many people ask me "Where is Xavier?" Being a two time grad of X, I proudly explain...but, to think that Creighton is not suitable for BE membership is ridiculous.

I agree. Also, its no skin off our back as we travel 2nd least number of miles in the league, behind only Georgetown I think. Might expect this comment from some of the Big East purists, but not a newcomer from Cincinnati.

Creighton is not going anywhere, great program. We are lucky to have them in the NBE...

Anyone else here rumblings of Gonzaga joining the NBE? I wonder if their conference hinders them from reaching the promised land.

Go X!
