    Yep

    Marty Simmons, who led Evansville to three 20-win seasons but never the NCAA tournament in 11 years with the Aces, is out as the team's coach, sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.
    Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.

      Pretty solid fan base, 7k average for a very mediocre team, paid a guy who hadn’t won a college game 400k for five years, this is a job that a coach on their way up can get some attention. For a long time we were third fiddle too. It’s not a great job, but it’s a good job. It’s a top 100 job which I would classify as solid.

        agreed.

        this board is bringing some bad mojo.

        Strong local support, but Logan is no Wichita metro. Probably came across too dismissive, but Morrill was Utah State. This is a tough gig.

      Tubby Smith should handle the Memphis breakup like George Costanza

        SWOMO “insiders” seem to think Heiar isn’t happening with the supposed reason being a transgression of his ten years ago. Assuming it’s not happening, I bet the real reason is money. The names being mentioned now are very cheap ones.

              Apparently it's official that Tubby is out at Memphis.

                Tubby is costing them a ton. Penny will work for cheap and increase revenue in at least the short term. Don't think this was a good decision but I can see how they got there

                  Raw deal. Tubby is a straight shooter, and that doesn’t work for some people.

                  We’ll see if the prodigal son can get it done.

                    If you have a family that says “we will only have our kids there, if daddy is on the payroll”, unless that daddy is Jerry West, you should tell them to kick rocks.

                      With what Tubby will be getting from Memphis, he might be able to work a couple of years on the cheap. He'll end up with the amount Memphis had on his contract.

                      Tubby to MSU!

                        Would like to see Tubby build ECU or USF up to snuff.

                          Tubby Smith leaving Memphis all like



                          Looks like Tubby couldn't survive the Good ol' Boy Donor Mafia. If I were a Tiger fan, I'd be freaking out right now, but when you look in forums and social media comments, they seemed pretty stoked about replacing Tubby with Penny. I think Penny could be a good coach if he were able to come up through the ranks as an assistant but they must be confident the talent he'll land will outweigh any inexperience and coaching deficiencies. Wonder if they will actually get Larry Brown on his staff?

                            ECU should totally hire him. It would make for a great drama.

                          They should absolutely give him a call.
