Hardly surprising, amazing how he's gone from one of the most sought after commodities to being borderline-unhirable (never want to say never though).

ESPN: Anthony Grant, Mal Moore get raises

http://espn.go.com/m...grant-mal-moore

Alabama men's basketball coach Anthony Grant has received a $100,000 raise and a one-year contract extension through 2019.

University system trustees approved a raise Thursday to $1.9 million from Grant's deal in April 2009.

Great move IMO by Bama to extend Grant, huge fan of his.

ESPN: Kansas re-signs Bill Self through '22

http://espn.go.com/m...nnually-2021-22

Being that Turgeon is a KU alum, I think this bodes well for Maryland, assuming that Turgeon keeps sailing the ship in the right direction.

As long as Kansas still has Kansas fans, I don't think any extension for Bill Self should make Maryland comfortable.

I think Turgeon and to a lesser extent, Tad Boyle would be logical to replace Self, but I don't think that day is coming anytime soon. Turgeon just completed his first year, let's see what he does in the next few.
