I think Coach Barnes will retire in the next season or two however I wont be all that surprised if he calls it quits when Tennessee gets booted from this coming NCAA Tournament.

I think Josh Pastner has probably saved his job at Georgia Tech since i think they will be in the NCAA Tournament Play In Game.

Some updates from the weekend


Northern Illinois:

Rashon Burno, who has spent the last six seasons at Arizona State, including the last five as associate head coach, was announced as the new Northern Illinois University men’s basketball head coach by NIU Associate Vice-President and Director of Athletics Sean T. Frazier on Saturday (March 6).

Burno will be formally introduced at a virtual press conference on Monday, March 8.

“What a great day for NIU Men’s Basketball,” said Frazier. “When we started this process, it was about the right fit and matching up with our core values at NIU. Rashon Burno brings significant experience within Illinois, Chicagoland and other basketball powerhouse regions. This is vital in growing the NIU basketball brand.

Eastern Michigan:

According to multiple reports, including one from Jon Rothstein, and now confirmed by HoopDirt.com, Eastern Michigan has parted ways with head coach Rob Murphy. This decision was apparently made a few weeks ago, and Murphy was informed today.

Murphy had been the head coach at EMU for the past ten seasons where he went 166-155 (.517). His squad went 6-12 (3-11 MAC) in the COVID shortened 2020-21 season.

Before being hired as the head coach back in 2011, Murphy had spent seven seasons on Jim Boeheim’s staff at Syracuse.
