For us to be able to get anyone from the Calipari coaching tree was pretty exciting at the time...and I think most of us thought it was a good hire...I admit I did.  I think that there must be some underlying issues to cause him to get the toss now as opposed to March/April.  Players were not sticking around and it appears that he was the reason...losing recruits and the best player on the team has to point to someone..guess it was COA.

We love FCOA personally.  Will miss him but can understand the move had to be made. That said, there really isn't anyone other than Calipari, Coach K or Petino that could ever make much out of USF bas

Thank you CWT for making this possible.  Your buyout helps offset this one.  And thank you U Texas, CCS buyout helps us save money for a few years.

We should fight tooth and nail to avoid paying any buyout. I bet we reach a settlement to avoid dragging both sides into a prolonged and dirty dispute.

To cheat and still suck means you suck as a coach.

Too bad Masiello didn't get his degree. We probably would be in better shape under him. This hire could not have been worse.

Maybe not. Manhattan was 13-18 last year, and currently 5-9.

Just to add. Masiello did go back and get his degree after his debacle with us but I don't think he is in much demand at the present.

So to be clear, Harlan's 1st and 2nd choice have not had much success after the hire. So I think Harlan should go against whatever his instincts are on this one.

Orlando Antigua was fired for a lack of wins, but the ongoing NCAA investigation into academic fraud -- which ultimately led to his brother Oliver's departure back in July -- obviously played into the decision to be let go. One source close to Antigua said that his staff -- with his brother and Rod Strickland -- was a big issue. "Way too inexperienced," the source said. "And they had all these guys from New York on staff -- and didn't sign kids from New York."
