It just means more, that's what the SEC's ads proclaim. Nobody ever thought that these statements were about basketball, especially as the league was slipping behind the scenes of relevance across large segments of the decade.
In 2016, the SEC only received three NCAA Tournament nominations. In a short window, the league showed how important basketball was.

Alabama, Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Texas A & M now have openings.

One of the reasons the SEC has suffered its collapse of basketball is the excessive number of programs taking risks for promising coaches. Experiments with hot mid-major coaches like Stan Heath (Arkansas), Johnny Jones (LSU), Tony Barbee (Auburn) and Darrin Horn (South Carolina) quickly failed. (Wade seems headed on Donnie Tyndall's road from NCAA infractions, a parallel track.)
Will Alabama athletic director, Greg Byrne, learn from this? Byrne is by nature conservative and will certainly be aware of all federal relations with a coach after what happened to Arizona coach Sean Miller since Byrne left Tucson. (Sorry, Rick Pitino does not need to apply.)
Strike out all the names of the NBA because Avery Johnson lacked the diligence needed to be a college coach. And scratch Steve Prohm, who should have shouted "Roll Tide" when he signed his extension of contract Tuesday.
The guess here is an established head coach – think of Thad Matta or Mick Cronin. Maybe Bryne is going to take a dive out of the area with Eric Musselman or a Jim Larranaga-like hiring at Mike Young of Wofford. This is the most mysterious work of the board, in part because there was no real plan to let Johnson go. Former Arkansas coach John Pelphrey is part of the staff and could be taken into consideration.

A lot of pressure for the new sports director Malcolm Tuner. His choice to fire Bryce Drew has been resolved nationwide. The strange decision to try to "reallocate" him to save money has been completely ridiculed by his peers, considering that he works in a location endowed with a $ 4.6 billion endowment.
Turner comes from the NBA's G-League, which would mean his most recent alleged expertise is basketball. But he still hired the research firm Korn Ferry, probably because it's the firm that hired him. So, after only three months of work, Turner has become a savvy veteran in the greasy bribes of the legal sector of the research sector. Obviously, he's learning fast.
So who will he hire? The school made it clear that she wanted a veteran and had a successful coach in several schools. (All the more reason to pay a research firm.) Think of a veteran in the mold of John Thompson III of Georgetown, Johnny Dawkins of UCF or Mike Brey of Notre Dame.

Sports director Hunter Yurachek is too smart to dismiss the solid but not spectacular Mike Anderson without a plan. A source summarized the plan in Fayetteville as follows: "Kelvin Sampson, Kelvin Sampson and Kelvin Sampson." Yurachek was part of the Houston staff when they hired Sampson, and Sampson can not be thrilled that the current government did not appear in a hurry to lock him up in the long run. Sampson loves UH and lives in Houston, but he has enough time to be skeptical about his career in the hands of an eccentric billionaire (Tilman Fertitta) and a sports director with some juice ( Chris Pezman).

If somewhere Sampson stayed around, Chris Beard would be another solid option in Fayetteville. (Perhaps a better one.) He has close ties since his successful stint in Arkansas Little Rock. He risks waiting at Tech and having his choice of jobs of choice next season.

Since last season, Buzz Williams has been invited back to Texas A & M. It's the job for which he had always been expected, and it seems almost inevitable that he's going back to the place where he was assistant from 2004 to 2006. (Do not be surprised if LSU acting coach, Tony Benford, is part of his staff.)
Virginia Tech's sports director, Whit Babcock, is wise enough to realize the potential of what he's been calling for for weeks about candidate information. He is smart, which means that he would certainly not be surprised by the move. Nobody would be. Not only will this happen, but it will happen soon after Tech's loss. Whenever it can be.
The most obvious part of the fact that this research is focused on the laser at Williams comes from the fact that it was completely silent otherwise. No interviews. No candidate buzz. Only Buzz. (Sampson is the only other name without conviction.)
It is interesting to note that Tech was in the same cell in San Jose as Russell Turner of Irvine, who is from Virginia. Turner impressed the coaches, but confessed to his confession of talking trash to a player from Oregon.
A fascinating curiosity: How could two Hokie victories in Washington this weekend change things?

Eric Musselman is a good name here. He was an assistant coach at LSU and his huge success in Nevada would make him an ideal candidate. LSU may be more inclined to explore the mid-major route, as it would be wise to prioritize a reputable coach. (Nate Oats of Buffalo, Matt McMahon of Murray, John Brannen of Northern Kentucky, and John Becker of Vermont lead the standings.)
As for Wade, the first chances of returning to his university coaching position in a few years come at Liberty University, which proved to be the last chance of Division I.

The post is open since New Year's Eve and does not seem much closer to being filled. UCLA is aiming high, as indicated by flirting with John Calipari of Kentucky. Calipari seemed to end his pleasures with a seemingly annual tweet that declares his love for Kentucky. (Until, of course, he listens to another NBA school or franchise the following season, then tweets about his unconditional dedication.)
The best name here is Tony Bennett from Virginia, but it's still hard to see in the limelight of L.A. Realistic names are Luke Walton, Mick Cronin of Cincinnati and Eric Musselman. None are perfect, as all have flaws in experience, personality or geography. Chris Beard of Texas Tech is a name that does not have a lot of traction, which could change if Tech continues his dominant season.
There is really little chance of a home run here. The Bruins need the right guy. Not sure that the right marriage between the interested candidate and UCLA's high-end expectations exists.

The Pac-12 has a financial problem that is reflected in a few areas. One is the football assistants, as the gap between the Pac-12 and the rest of the power conferences makes it more difficult to retain talent.
The other is with the poor financial. As might be expected, Washington State has taken the mid-major route and would be about to hire coach Kyle Smith. He is an excellent coach, particularly tactical, but he is not the type to heat Pullman.
Cal's names include Travis DeCuire and Montana Turner of Montana at UC-Irvine. Both are solid.

Self's strong ties to the NBA are in San Antonio, as he has a good relationship with Spurs GM R. Buford. But does Gregg Popovich want Self to replace him? It's more complicated.
Self is faced with a difficult choice that goes much further than its public rah-rah statements. It will be said to see it becomes active once the NBA cycle has begun. Among the coaches trapped, he is the most established and has the flair to be on the touchline of the NBA. (Succeeding in college does not always mean being a good coach, as paradoxical as it may seem.) The NCAA has shown signs of hardness following this federal scandal, but has predicted everything that will happen, and even when he will. it's as stupid as hoping and wishing everything to go away.
