Coaching Carousel

After they were eliminated from the ACC Tournament yesterday, Syracuse announced the retirement of long time head coach Jim Boeheim after 47 seasons as their head coach. He is 78 years old.
Though he hasn't had as much success since Syracuse moved to the ACC in 2013, Boeheim lead Syracuse to 10 Big East Conference regular season championships, five Big East tournament championships, 34 NCAA tournament appearances, 5 Final Four appearances, 3 appearances in the national title game, and one National Championship in 2003 (with Carmelo Anthony). He has already been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and the College Basketball Hall of Fame.
Associate Head Coach Adrian Autry was named the next head coach by Syracuse.

List of head coach changes for 2023-
https://hoopdirt.com/2023-college-basketball-coaching-changes-tracker/
 
East Tennessee State has an open head coaching job. They have parted ways with Desmond Oliver.
Georgia Tech fires Josh Pastner, and University of South Florida fires Brian Gregory.
 
St. John's just fired head coach Mike Anderson. One rumor suggests Iona head coach Rick Pitino will be a candidate to replace him.
 
Strange story regarding one of the Illinois State assistant coaches. Assistant Coach Walter Offutt was granted paternity leave last October, right before the season. The paternity leave ended in January, but he never did return to the team. Now 5 months later, his name has quietly been removed from the team's website. Head Coach Ryan Pedon is not commenting.

As usual, there has to be more to the story.

The list of coaching changes now at 30-
https://hoopdirt.com/2023-college-ba...anges-tracker/

Only one has a newly assigned head coach (Adrian Autry at Syracuse). 7 others have Interim Head Coaches, but some of those will seek new head coaches. One exception is Texas, where Interim Head Coach Rodney Terry finished 26-8 and just blew out #1 seed Kansas by 20 points to win the Big 12 Tournament. He will likely be retained.
So far, only 6 or 7 are better jobs likely to offer significantly higher pay than Bradley.
Cal (Pac-12)
Georgetown (Big East)
Georgia Tech (ACC)
Notre Dame (ACC)
St. John's (Big East)
Texas Tech (Big 12)
and maybe Wichita State or South Florida of the AAC
 
Lots of high profile jobs available. Coach getting lots of National attention. This will be tell tale. If the Wardle era at Bradley survives this, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
 
There are reports that Northwestern State's (Louisiana) head coach Corey Gipson, will be hired by Austin Peay.
Corey Gipson has only been at Northwestern State for 1 season after spending 7 seasons as an assistant coach at Missouri State. Prior to that, he was an assistant at Aurtin Peay for 3 seasons. He played 2 years at Austin Peay (2002-04). He took over a 9-23 team at Northwestern State and went 22-11 this season. He made the quick improvement by filling his roster with a lot of transfers and a commit from Missouri State. His top 3 scorers were former Missouri State players Demarcus Sharp, Ja'Monta Black, and Isaac Haney. His 4th leading scorer was previous Missouri State commit Jalen Hampton, and there were several others on the roster who he had a connection with as a Missouri State assistant.

Too bad for all those kids who transferred to Northwestern State to play for new coach Corey Gipson, as he leaves them behind after just 1 season.

I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them, if not all, go with him to Austin Peay. It could be similar to what happened to Murray State last year when their coach took the job at LSU and left the school he recruited them to. Most players go to a school because of the coach and not because of the school or its academic courses. With the extra covid year expiring soon, this could be an interesting portal season. If Wardle were to leave Bradley, it will be interesting to see if any players go with him.

I believe the one year waiver is still in place, so they'd have to sit if they went to AP

They changed the rule in 2021 to allow for one transfer with no penalty. They couldn’t hold back the power conferences from poaching the little guys, ya know!
