HoopInsider_Cooper Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 Even beat the Chronicle on this one. Nerds will likely hire Trent Johnson of Stanford as their new HC. Could also be Mich State assistant. Nerds paying $600K per year on this one. Now, don't make me look ignorant NERDS!
Guest abovetherim Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 Wow! Now that is news there. Trent Johnson at Rice for $600,000 annually will definitely make that program a lot more competitive in C-USA. You are the basketball guru. Beating the Chronicle for this news is amazing. Great job.
TexasTerror Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 Rice faithful's scoop on their board is that the finalists are... Trent Johnson (Stanford HC) Mark Montgomery (Mich St ast) Rick Byrd (Belmont HC)
Guest abovetherim Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 To me, out of those three it's a no-brainer (Rice) ;D. Trent Johnson is head and shoulders the best coach. I just am shocked he would leave Stanford. If they can't land Coach Johnson, the next choice would be Rick Byrd. He is a very good coach too. Paying that kind of money, they are going to get a really good coach. $$$ talks. Are you reading this DickVitale? 8)

TexasTerror Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 As Sammy the Owls turns... From "Scoop" Berman... HOUSTON -- College basketball sources have identified three more candidates involved in the search for a new basketball coach at Rice. They are Bob McKillop from Davidson, Craig Robinson from Brown, and former Cal coach Ben Braun. Rice athletics director Chris Del Conte will neither confirm nor deny who the candidates are but he told FOX 26 Sports Thursday he is looking at a long list of coaches. "I am casting a wide net," Del Conte said. "I can promise you this I have not offered the job to anybody during this process." This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up
Guest abovetherim Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 You do know who Coach Robinson's brother-in-law is?
Guest abovetherim Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 Nope...Who's is he? Hint, he is running for President of the United States of America. Another hint, it is not John McCain. DV, I know you got to be joking!
