NCAA 2012-2013 Season

  • Thread starter Thread starter CKR132
  • Start date Start date
Illinois State is expected to hire Vanderbilt assistant Dan Muller to replace the removed Tim Jankovich. Muller is a former Illinois varsity player with the school in the 90's.
 
The Athletic Director of UCONN could not shed some light on who is being groomed to replace head coach Jim Calhoun. Not even assistant coach Kevin Ollie is assured. As of the moment, it is not clear if Calhoun would even coach for the 2012-2013 NCAA season.
 
George Mason decided to stay in the CAA instead of moving into the Atlantic-10 Conference.
 
Nebraska signs their new head coach Tim Miles to a seven year contract.
 
For now and deriving from press statements and quotes of key personnel from Old Dominion, the school is to remain in the Big East conference. Still, the school board and directors are open to the possibility of jumping into another conference if needed be.
 
Rider has promoted long time assistant coach Kevin Baggett as the new head coach.
 
Butler has finalized the move out of the Horizon League into the Atlantic 10 Conference. A-10 now has sixteen teams.
 
Iowa St. head coach Fred Hoiberg has agreed to an eight year contract extension with the team.
 
UCONN's Athletic Director stated in an interview with FOX Sports Network that he has no doubt that head coach Jim Calhoun will be back for next season.
 
I look for the North Carolina Tarheels to make James McAdoo their primary scorer in the next season. The losses of Henson and Zeller means lack of size that last year's squad boasted means that this season's Tarheels would incline on wing and guard perimeter production as its main artillery. Whatever Desmond Hubert can offer them in points, rebounds and blocks is already considered good. Freshman Joel James will most likely see quality minutes while Brice Johnson reminds me of a John Henson's freshman year.

This team has guard depth with Reggie Bullock, Leslie McDonald and P.J. Hairston will welcome more shot attempts. Freshman point guard Marcus Paige will likely get quality minutes as well.
 
Heads up, new recruitment rules. Men's college basketball coaches will be allowed to send unlimited texts and make unlimited calls to recruits who have finished their sophomore year of high school. Also, the NCAA will allow coaches to send private messages through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Boston University will enter the Patriots League in the 2013-14 NCAA Season. Boston U is leaving America East.
 
Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey has agreed to a contract extension that runs until the end of the 2014-15 NCAA Season.

Cal State Bakersfield's ban could be lifted as an audit is still in process on other data.
 
NCAA names chairman for 2013-14 men's basketball tournament

As we all know, news knows no holidays or deadlines. A small bit of info needs to be passed along on the NCAA tournament. We have a new tournament chair for the 2013-14 season. It's Ron Wellman, the Wake Forest athletic director. The decision came down publicly on Tuesday but was voted on by the NCAA on June 29.

Normally, the NCAA tournament rotates its chairs each year. Last season it was former UConn/current Hofstra AD Jeff Hathaway. For 2012-13, Xavier AD Mike Bobinski leads the committee/has one of the coolest jobs in sports.

“It is an honor to be selected as chair of this committee,” Wellman said in a statement. “We have excellent committee members who are conscientious and fair and take their responsibility very seriously. I look forward to my continuing relationship with them in this new role.”

Wellman is notable for his longevity; he's held his post longer than any AD in the ACC, having been at Wake since 1992.

If you're always wondering who comprises the selection committee in a given year and can't find the info easily, bookmark this page and come back to it in March so you know who to be ticked off at.

The 2012-13 NCAA tournament selection committee:

Joe Alleva, LSU AD
Scott Barnes, Utah State AD
Mike Bobinski (chair), Xavier AD
Joe Castiglione, Oklahoma AD
Doug Fullerton, Big Sky commissioner
Mark Hollis, Michigan State AD
Judy MacLeod, Conference USA executive associated commissioner
Bernard Muir, Delaware AD
Jamie Zaninovich, West Coast Conference commissioner
