Unless Holtmann wins more next year that ain't happening because he will likely be on a very hot seat at OSU or on the way out. UK would have to strike out on several other coaches before they go that route. Unless of course he wins big in the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Doc is safe right now. And perhaps for the foreseeable future. But I think Jay's name will come up if and when something goes awry.

DC2345 Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 The Big East is going to be tough next year but things are lining up for Butler to be much improved in the conference with the hiring of Matta and now Jay Wright retiring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Jay Wright has been an assistant with team USA and has a good relationship with Popovich. I Know he said he's retiring and becoming the assistant president or whatever but so did Urban Meyer when he stepped down at OSU prior to joining the Jaguars. Yes, Wright is not Meyer but you never know what will happen when a team comes knocking on your door.

I suspect if tOSU fails to make the tournament Chris will become unemployed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceDouglas Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Pretty amazing all these high profile jobs filled these last 2 seasons and none with a sitting power conference coach. Of course with K, Roy and Jay no one wants to be the guy to follow a legend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 DD was good at calling games because he understands basketball and isn't just talking. It was also always funny how every fan base thought that he hated their team. It was constant which just meant that he wasn't biased towards them or spoke the truth about what was going on in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also always funny how every fan base thought that he hated their team. It was constant which just meant that he wasn't biased towards them or spoke the truth about what was going on in the game. I would say he was good at calling games. Like you said, he understands the game and was really good at analyzing teams and players. But two things started to impact how good he was. 1) as his stock rose at ESPN, he started to have a shtick instead of being himself (happens to a lot of announcers) and 2) as his sort of beef with IU grew or his sensing that his radio ratings rose as he criticized IU that began seeping into his announcing of games. What I mean by point two is that he'd be announcing games completely unrelated to IU, not even Big Ten games, and go on these weird, random IU rants. It made no sense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
