They are screwed.

However you view the incident in terms of second chances or whatever it is a complete killer for McDermott's recruiting going forward. It is a hell of a risk for them to move forward with him at this point. I am sure former players do really trust that he is a decent man despite his comment, but they had years with him to get to know him. Idk how he talks to a 17 year old you don't know and make any connection with them to convince them to join the program.

After the incident I agree but before he and his staff had seemed to doing pretty well recruiting wise.   I just remember one of the Creighton tournament games that I was able to watch in which they had won I remember after a crucial play late in the game that put CU ahead and in a position to win all of the Creighton players were walking to the bench after a time out where McDermott was clapping his hands and saying good job and congratulating them all as they walked towards the bench.  I distinctly remember watching Christian Bishop as he walked by McDermott with a look on his face that said yeah I'm good thanks as you could tell he was not having any praise that McDermott was offering.  He went from a smile to a non smile quickly as he walked right by his coach.  It was the first thing I thought of after I read Bishop's farewell tweet yesterday.

  • Trevor Anderson, senior, guard, grad transfer
  • Nate Reuvers, senior, forward, grad transfer
  • Walt McGrory, senior, guard, grad transfer (South Dakota)

I'm still interested to see if anything falls on KU especially after that wonderful contract with the exemption clause in it that Bill Self was literally awarded.

Those are pretty high profile jobs, although I am not sure Texas will ever be satisfied with any coach. Football or Basketball. I would avoid that one.

Edit: wonder if John Beilein will jump back into college hoops at one of these spots.

Beilein is a great college coach and doesn't seem to be crooked. I don't know if some of those places are ok with a guy like that.

The fan base would have to be patient and he doesn’t go for the one and done types....maybe AZ?

He seemed like a perfect fit at Michigan.

Leaving for the NBA was bad choice by him. He is a great dude, bummer it didn't work out. Juwan, is working out great at Michigan so far though. I think Beilein is back at Michigan in some teaching or advising capacity. He should teach ethics.  :D
