Steve Wojo and Mick Cronin also rumored to be a possible new coach at VT.
Wojo is wildly overrated.
His teams have been pretty good offensively...defense has been another story though.

Calipari signs a lifetime contract extension with Kentucky, whatever that means.

Until his next Show Cause penalty, I presume.

Not official yet, but all signs point to Buzz Williams to A&M.
EDIT: Also updated the OP.
What am I missing? Is Texas A&M bball that much better of a job than VT?

Probably not but it does have more money and I think he is from the area.

Yea..theres a few:Any Turgeon rumors??
1) There is a section on this site for MD basketball and anything about him is and will be discussed there.
2)There is also a rumor floating around that he is still the coach of the team.

I've always considered it a much better job. Wasn't until Buzz got there that VT became relevant. The three tourneys they've made under Buzz are more than they had in the previous nearly 30 years. A&M has had a pretty solid run over the past 10-15 years or so.
Low attendance at A&M was rumored to be one of the reasons Turgeon left, though, and VT had much higher attendance recently than I would've guessed (93rd, 78th, and 67th from '15 to '17, the last 3 seasons I can find). A&M was higher each year (71st, 50th, 60th) but the gap was closing.

Looks like Sampson is going to stay at Houston. Nothing official but they're apparently close to a new deal.

!!
Dixon is good I guess but this is pretty underwhelming overall.
Tells you that this isn’t the job UCLA believes it is.

The pressure to win at UCLA has to be insane.
The best college hoops jobs are at the big football schools that still have good recruiting bases and facilities and money.
That's why the Texas job is so good.
There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

Seems like a step down to me. Only the worst coaches come from Texas A&M.

Seems like a hire of someone that will do just enough to keep them on the bubble, at best, every year.
