First, I respect Ron Nored and feel he would be a great D1 HC, but his FIRST opportunity should not be a Big East P5 school, especially when he has not held ANY position in one place for more than 2-3 years. • Brownsburg HS (HC): 1 season •Maine Red Claws / Celtics org: ~2 years total (assistant/dev roles) •Northern Kentucky (assistant): 1 season •Long Island Nets (HC): 2 seasons ← longest HC run •NBA assistant roles (Hornets, Pacers, Hawks): mostly 2–3 year stretches each Ron Nored’s longest stint as a head coach is 2 years… in the G League. Zero D1 HC track record. This isn’t the moment for “potential.” It’s the moment for proof! Please hire a known, proven D1 head coach that already has had a winning track record at this level. I know Ron really wanted the job last go around, and he had many impressive people promoting him. PR campaign was in overdrive. Let’s not get caught up in a PR blitz, but focus on getting a winner already at this level.

Butler coach Thad Matta will be back next season, athletic director Grant Leiendecker told @TheFieldOf68. There was some speculation about retirement. "We are fully committed and aligned on how we will reach expectations for the program going forward," Leiendecker said. Matta is 63-69 and 39-55 in the Big East in four seasons. The Bulldogs were 16-16 and 7-13 in league play this season.
