ESPN: Docs: Steve Masiello lied to USF

 

On March 25, Masiello signed a five-year deal worth $6.06 million to become USF's coach. However, there was a provision on the contract -- item No. 10 -- stating if the information provided was "proved to be untrue within 30 days," USF may terminate the deal without any financial obligation. The USF contract referenced Masiello's bio on Manhattan's official website and even provided a link to the exact page.

 

About 12 hours after Masiello signed the USF deal -- and while USF was preparing a news conference to introduce him as the school's next coach -- the school's search firm discovered inaccuracies in Masiello's bio. Specifically, that Masiello did not graduate from the University of Kentucky in 2000, as indicated on his resume and official bio on the Manhattan website.

 

 

ESPN: Ernie Kent to be WSU coach

 

Not a great hire by any means, it will always be tough to win in the outpost known as Pullman. As Dickie V said in his "three Tony Bennett's" speech, they should build a statue to the basketball Tony Bennett.

 

 

ESPN: Wake Forest eyes Danny Manning

 

It's still unclear where the former Kansas star, who went to the NCAA tournament in just his second season as the coach of the Golden Hurricane, sits on Wake athletic director Ron Wellman's wish list. However, one source close to the process said that Manning has a legitimate shot to land the job.

Wojo got the Marquette job.

He was a big recruiter for Duke.

Wonder if Laettner is a possibility to take his spot?

[SBTarheel]

I wonder if Wojo will be able to "scratch" out some wins there...

 

Eddie Cota used to have welts on his arms after Duke games from Wojo digging his nails into his arms..That was his "defense". 

 

anyway, good luck to him.

@RyanChell87 Apparently Steve Masiello is doing the real life version of "Billy Madison" going back to school...

I'm sure this will make Ricker and Seth happy. I thought this was pretty funny tweet myself.

I knew Saturday he was staying. But yes.

Now the question is Semaj. I've heard he's back in classes and he's thinking about staying.

@AndyGlockner Gregg Marshall will use Vols to extract whatever else he needs at Wichita St. Vols have to make the call, really doubt it will happen.
