another option is Steve Forbes (guy who replaced Murry Bartow at ETSU) took Northwest Florida State to a record of 61-6 in his 2 seasons there...back-to-back NJCAA runner up. asst coach under Bruce Pearl and Gregg Marshall. took ETSU to a record of 24-12 last season.

from his UT-Chatt bio: http://gomocs.com/coaches.aspx?path=mbb&rc=474 he came up under Mike Jarvis at FAU, and Billy D at Florida...he completed his first season as Head Coach at UT-Chatt, taking them 29-6 with an NCAA tourney.

yep. It was just an example (I was thinking Will Wade)...or Nevada (Musselman) I don't see Shaka getting fired this season.

the Calipari tree produces poison fruit. Bruiser Flint...fired from Drexel Steve Roccaforte...fired from Lamar Tony Barbee...fired from Auburn Orlando Antigua...fired from USF

USF won't get a coach away from VCU when you're going to struggle just to get to .500 in conference. Matt McCall, Joe Dooley, maybe Dave Rice (he's looking for a fresh start, currently Assoc HC at Nevada) Murry Bartow also wouldn't be a bad choice.

yep...and he played (edit: Team Manager) for Billy D at UF that said, I would have hired Masiello and told him to finish his degree at USF during that off season...then USF would have a better coach, and he would be a grad.

I was hard on the Antigua hire because he's a recruiter, not a coach...you now have a really good Xs and Os coach in Murry Bartow (son of Gene Bartow) USF needs to hire Matt McCall from UT-Chatt...former asst at Florida and FAU...young guy, won 29 games last season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_McCall_(basketball)

We tried to tell y'all this was a bad idea...

This way my first trip to Ray Jay for a bulls game...I guessed 15k if USF could double up their fan attendance, they would have a solid atmosphere.

I guess you missed where Marshall lost to WKU and went 11-20 in hoops?

We took care of it... 10-3...AAC Champs...Miami Beach Bowl Champs...Post-Game Fight Champs!!!

MVP trophy: trust me, we were regulars in the annual Toilet Bowl...Taggart will get you guys there

I really like to see what USF could do to UCLA, Ole Miss, or even Middle Tennessee State. Lose, lose and win most likely. Same results as Memphis this year. I don't see your point. Memphis gets a pretty soft AAC schedule this year missing UCF and ECU. Look at the last 6 opponents you play and then get back to me. OK. Memphis features wins @Cincy, MTSU, and @Temple along with close L's to UCLA and Mississippi. I certainly won't apologize for Memphis being 8-3 (6-1) I wonder how much fun your board was last year when you were 3 - 9? Were your fans patient or screaming for Fuentes' head? Not at all, but we're a hoops school, and Fuente's teams made progress in the view of the fans. on the other hand Josh Pastner has won 130 games in 5 seasons, and taken Memphis to 4 straight NCAA tourneys...many of our 'fans' are ready to fire him for the sin of not being John Calipari.

^ Thanks guys! glad you had fun in Memphis. I'll be down in February for the basketball game, I've got family in Lutz I can stay with free, and gas looks to be staying cheap...see you guys then!

Hope you had fun and enjoyed your time in Memphis!

Thx guys, y'all looked like us last season...decent talent, coach puts em where they need to be...close in a lot of games...hopefully it pays off next season.

Really reminds me of the old Sombrero, after they filled in the endzones but before they built RayJay... I wonder if they have the same architect?

2 miles, 5-6 mins in traffic.

no. Lowest - 26,846 http://espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=400547701 Highest - 46,378 http://espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=400547670 Both were legit crowds. Memphis is averaging 33,342 on the year.

Also, I assume youre going to the game tomorrow. Game is at 3, so come early and get lunch. (And walk around Tiger Lane) If you want more BBQ, Central BBQ is right there by the stadium on Central...if you're through with the BBQ, try Soul Fish Cafe at Cooper-Young...C-Y is maybe 4 mins from the stadium.

If you see this in time, what do you recommend there? Sausage and cheese plate...Jumbo sandwich...it's a very simple, no frills, place. Park at the church across the street.
