Updated the subject line of this thread to one that stands the test of time, and job changes

For the younger set: Vance was an assistant for Derek Kellogg from 2008-2011. His style never really worked out.

A blast from the 1995-96 past. Just saw Ed Schilling's name pop up. He was on Calipari's staff for that season, backfilling Bill Bayno. Schilling stayed with Cal when he went to the Nets the following year. Schilling recently got hired to be the new HC at Pepperdine. https://twitter.com/PeppBasketba...

Lots of places where McCall has been discussed around here, but creating one for the next chapters in his post-UM career. After two seasons of being an analyst, NBC Sports being among them, Matt is getting back into coaching. He landed an assistant role at Charleston, under head coach Chris Mack. ht...

Buggs is in the Portal. https://twitter.com/VerbalCommits/status/1775978012431004122 2019-20 with UM 20-21 injury rehab year 21-22 in JuCo 22-23 at UTSA 23-24 at UNT So I guess he's got one more season left? I can't keep track anymore. He shot 40% from 3 last season and 45% this season. Good dude th...

This is a little odd. Davis just tweeted a promo for Hanoush Jewelers Hadley. https://twitter.com/robertdav1sjr/status/1775961019774308460 Kinda figured he be done with local promos now that he has committed elsewhere. Patrick - Any comment? Is this a deal that came under his NIL with MassCo, or is ...

Word is circulating that Musselman will take the USC job. Let's see what Josh does in response.

Yeah that's interesting. I don't follow the SearchSZN stuff unless we're directly involved. Any indication that Musselman was looking at opportunities before Josh committed? How long has that been a possibility?

Kristin Williams to Coastal Carolina https://twitter.com/Jschreiber272/status/1774595730335830238 At the risk of this being negative, this might be addition by subtraction. She was our leading scorer, but not a particularly good shooter. .350 overall FG .397 from 2 .308 from 3, and hoisted over 6 pe...

Have you guys heard about the documentary that's being made about our run in the 90s? "Lightning in a Bottle" is in the works. You can see the trailer online at https://www.283productions.com/ The producers are looking to add some content from fans. Were you around during that run? Got sto...

Embrace the change and get involved :arrow: https://www.themasscollective.com/build-it-together Embrace something that is ruining college basketball and football? No thanks. I’ll live with it if it becomes law but the transfer portal is awful for college sports. The change has happened, whether we ...

As long as we're on the tangent... After Curry Hicks Sage did a podcast with Lappas a year or two ago, I did some deep dives on the players in that era, Pugh being one.

^ How can you be certain that Matt is returning next season? He was honored at Senior Day. Senior Day means nothing anymore. Back in the Cal & Bruiser days, Senior Day meant you started, no matter how far down the bench you were. Lately, Senior Day honorees don't even make it into the game at a...

We all know NIL deals are not binding. That's not true. There are different stages of agreements: letters of intent, memorandums of understanding, then full contracts. Patrick at Mass Collective has talked about what they've learned over the past year, how they're structuring deals that incentivize...
