According to Hoopdirt, the final 3 for the CMU head coaching job is Todd Simon (Southern Utah head coach & CMU alum), Saddi Washington and Cornell Mann. I imagine Simon is the favorite for the job but we will see.

I think the rational take on this State team is they’ll need a lot to go right to end up in the top 10 rather than just the top 30 but I’ve been talking myself into them. Really like their frosh class and think Walker is a good fit. If they land a legit big, I think a top 10 projection makes sense.
Hopefully Saddi doesn’t take it. Been great recruiter for us.
Kentucky 247 mentioned last night that Kansas may have jumped in with an offer to Chin Coleman
So he’s gone either way
From the CMU perspective, not really thrilled with that hire. Was extremely underwhelming as the HC at Auburn and everything I can find about the guy says he’s kind of a jerk. Approximately zero UK fans seem to be upset that he’s leaving. Yeesh. Can anyone who knows more about Barbee than I do spin this one in a positive direction?

The last I read over at the Illini board on the “coaching carousel” thread (this morning about 9:30ish) they had heard and discussed the chatter about Chin leaving but didn’t think it was happening. They seemed pretty resolved to the fact that Antigua was leaving. At least that’s how I read it over on that crazy, delusional site!

Yeah that’s not a great hire if that happens. From what I’ve seen on Twitter too people aren’t thrilled. I don’t get how they don’t pursue someone like Andy Bronkema or Todd Simon. Hell, Ben McCollum wanted the job and he’s done incredible at NW Missouri State. He’d have been a home run hire. All 3 of those options are better than Barbee.

It sounds like Chin has several offers on the table including one to stay at Illinois
Cmu alum here. I would consider that underwhelming also

Probably because of his Xs and Os.

Matt Norlander still reporting Chin to Kentucky as of 20 minutes ago
Honestly feels like a downgrade from Keno Davis. Somehow they’ve managed to downgrade twice from Ernie Zeigler, which should have been hard to do.

I have heard the same, that he is an extremely rude jerk who everyone hates

What’s the big deal? Brad Underwood showed that you can be like that and still make it all the way to the second round of the tourney!
I don’t know anyone named Brad Underwood. I know a Brad Underpants though
