Howland would be Tubby v2.0...nearly an identical hire, just with a shittier personality.

I know it's "Shaka Smart or Bust" for Minnesota, but I think he's probably waiting on the Duke job. So the ties to the AD's probably won't matter (in the end).
With Andy Enfield, I'd hope he isn't a repeat of Darrin Horn (make Sweet 16, immediately moves to a bigger conference, can't repeat success). But the style and atmosphere that Enfield tries to create isn't comparable to Horn (it's better). So the two probably aren't comparable.

So, Tom Creep with an inferiority complex. In all seriousness, it would take an ambitious coach to step in and think he can create an elite player out of the Minnesota program. So this might be a huge hire or a huge miss that sets them back for half a decade. And by sets them back, think of a barely being competitive in the B1G (ala PSU). It helps that the new AD came from VCU and might be able to influence Shaka to jump ship, but I doubt the gophers would be his ultimate job.

If Collins goes to NW I would have to think that Paulus is at least in the conversation for the Duke assistant job. Or even Collins could get him as an assistant at NW.

Kevin Warren is an ass
Never thought about that. I don't know about the relationship between Paulus and big nose. Also, there are quite a few job openings in some smaller Division I schools and once our season is over (Championship). Some of our assistants might land a head coaching gig so Paulus could move up the food chain right here.

Not that it would be the end-all, be-all overriding factor, but I have a hard time seeing Greg Paulus go anywhere when Craft has one year remaining. From everything I've ever heard, the two are extremely tight. Maybe (probably) I'm overstating their relationship, and Paulus would have no qualms about already leaving for an assistant gig elsewhere, but the two seem to be guys that march to the same beat.
I am sure, though, that there would be a bit of a salary bump for Paulus taking any assistant job, so there's also that...

Iowa with a convincing 75-64 victory at Virginia to advance to NIT Final Four tonight. Big Ten continues to impress during the post-season.

Yeah, I think this NIT run is good for Iowa. They have a very young team, I think only one Senior, and they get to play more postseason games than they would've if they were in the NCAA tourney. Good experience for their team. This was kind of a transition year for Iowa, as they grow towards being an NCAA tourney team. McCaffery will have to keep building and getting more top-100 type players to keep it going, though.

Who do you think is leaving early for Michigan?
Do all 4 go, Burke/Hardaway/Robinson/McGary? I have a feeling Mitch made himself some money this postseason, the big man is putting together a very impressive run.
