Turns out calling your players slaves is not a great motivational tactic.

I found it very strange when Texas Tech hired Mark Adams to be their head coach. To me he just seemed like a guy from the distant past. I was perplexed as to how the Tech AD thought Adams would appeal to high school recruits.
I’m not at all surprised how this thing played out.
Mark Fox out at Cal.
Hope Nate James and Steve Wojo can get a plum coaching gig
Cal is not an easy job, but Fox deserved it. Never even got to .500 in any of his four seasons, and this year was a Louisville-esque 3-29. That's really pretty hard to imagine.
Better coaches than Fox have struggled at Cal, despite the many, many strong high school players and programs in Northern California. They have had decent success under Ben Braun and Mike Montgomery but since then -- nothing. Haven't won a NCAAT game in a decade. It's not the worst P6 job in the country, but it's down there, as is Ole Miss, also currently open until they hire Chris Beard.
During the NBC halftime show of the A-10 Tournament (Dayton v. St. Joe’s), they are reporting that Ewing is out at Georgetown.

Confirmation from Bleacher
Patrick Ewing out.

I was on Georgetown’s campus last weekend and this was posted on a bulletin board in an academic building.

An ESPN article speculating on coaching move possibilities mentions Capel and Brey for Georgetown and Hurley for Georgia Tech and St. Johns (Hurley on the West coast has always seemed a little strange). It also says Texas had reached out to Snyder before he took the Hawks job.
Duke's sister school in NY, St. John's, doesn't technically have an opening yet, but it sounds like there's some buzz building for Pitino there: https://nypost.com/2023/03/09/rick-p...rce=NYPTwitter
If he wins there - and if he gets the job, he will win there - he'll wake the sleeping giant and get more fawning NY media coverage than anyone this side of whichever coach gets the Knicks their next title in the year 2934. The Post will start covering them home and away again and they'll play most of their home games at MSG. He will make them an "it" team and be an "it" coach again. He likes playing fast and loose at Iona, which has never had any scruples, and giving a middle finger to the NCAA. But he can't handle being an afterthought. He'll be back on center stage at least until the next scandal, but no one will care when that happens because St. John's will have finally played on Friday at the Big East tournament and likely won a few NCAA games at long last.
I'm a little surprised this might be happening with or without Lou's blessing. But it's one thing to turn away Tim Cluess because he quit on Lou in the 80s, or to cut out Calipari because he once told a recruit Lou was dying (just a rumor, but it definitely sounds like something Cal would do). Maybe at nearly a century, Lou is willing to sign off on Pitino. But if you're St. John's, you have to do it even if he's not.
