I can see it happening for a lot of reasons: 1. Where should an AAC progrum look first for a HC? Probably the ranks of successful, proven "non-P6" head coaches. 2. As someone posted earlier, USF needs some basketball stability in the near term. 4-8 years is a sufficient timeframe for now. He wouldn't be in the AAC Final year in year out as with the MAC but then again there would be the possibility of at-large NCAA bids. 3. The window for KD to recruit & coach with a nicer facility is starting to close. I think we are all seeing UA's ceiling by now and if we find it frustrating, imagine how he feels. The USF Sun Dome is a magnificent college arena (their facilities issue is on the football side). 4. Metro area of 3-4 million, #11-ish national media market so the potential for a large following and great attendance is there. 5. What is the AAC average salary? IDK, but probably more than the MAC. Look at the bright side: if the AAC ever gets raided and has to bring in some new members, he would be a great ambassador for us

Yes. I mean at some point boredom sets in...

I don't see this progrum turning down an NIT appearance stat and hanging a banner. Wouldn't it be nice if the banner said "NIT Final 4" ?

If we don't show up and play with conviction in the NIT then KD truly should be fired, as well as the AD. They are being paid well to represent the university.

It's 11:17 and........we still need a new arena.

I doubt if that wins the MAC Final, let alone a tourney game. Our defense has not been consistently that good.

Shooting is always the problem in the big arenas. Take it inside and draw fouls for 40 minutes...guaranteed W.

Yes. Jealous Tired of seeing UB going on to the NCAA.

Condolences to his family. Let's go out and win one (MACC) for the GoZipper!

An NIU writer's take: Severson: MAC schedule shows top priority is money, not athletes http://www.daily-chronicle.com/2017/03/01/severson-mac-schedule-shows-top-priority-is-money-not-athletes/anx0szz/?page=1

Is Shaka Smart on the Hot Seat at Texas? http://herosports.com/news/shaka-smart-on-hot-seat-texas-longhorns-basketball-cccc

So they should cut down the nets during pregame But I guess that makes it more difficult to see when the ball goes through the hoop during the game

Only once? Come on, gotta step it up, Zippy!

Thank you.

Shake em down good. This would be a chance for the MAC commish to demonstrate his mad DT deal-making negotiation skills. We have something they want, don't give away the store.

You have got to be kidding me. Give me a ho-hum undefeated season with 20-point margins, a boring waltz through the MAC tournament, and 2 or 3 snoozer wins in the NCAA. Now that would attract some new fans. And get us ranked. And plenty of media exposure. And some great recruits. Maybe even some athletics department donations.

Taking an 18-footer near the baseline for a last second game winner helps him focus too, apparently. Then again, if he makes more free throws it wouldn't come down to that. Very ironic.

For comparison on overall mobility index (out of ~370 selective public colleges): 210. Akron 271. Cincinnati 275. Kent 321. OU 334. BGSU
