Not trying to stir the pot, but has Matt McCall landed anywhere?

Haven't heard anything yet. Perhaps a buyout exists that is keeping him sidelined for a year. I forgot. Anyone know?

He will coach again somewhere, probably as an assistant.

He’s getting about 800k has looked probably with that 800k he can wait for the right spot. I wouldn’t be shocked if something in the nba on billy Donavan staff doesn’t pop up

it states in his agreement that he has to be doing everything he can to land a new job. Not sure how enforceable that is in the court of law to get our money back but just curious if anything was missed!

A real estate friend of mine tells me McCall's house in Amherst is not on the market. I know he had young kids, maybe they are waiting for school to end before moving on.

Not surprised to hear that... no reason to sell and formally move until you know where you're going.

Curry Hicks Sage was on the 3 Bid League podcast recapping the coaching search. A fun listen and some interesting stuff here, including his statement that Bamford is prohibiting Frank Martin from coming on his UMass basketball podcast.

I'm assuming/hoping that was in jest.

When Sage talks about Keon T being 6-6, I'm sure he is talking about Luis. Keon is a little guy..

He also suggests that we would be going with two true bigs at the same time. Interesting.

Probably but he is very high on Keon as an I. Also he’s a bit small he’s 6-1 with a 6-7 wingspan and doesn’t look slight of frame

Which is kind of understandable from the AD at this point in Martin's tenure. I'm hoping he gives the green light before the season, though, because I think it would be a really fun conversation.

Will Bailey just jumped ship and is headed to SLU as an assistant to TF. He was the only staff member not at Frank's event at The Hangar last week.

as it looks like a familiar face might be back with the program, Will Bailey. Bailey was an assistant for 4 seasons at SLU before joining Frank Martin at South Carolina. He followed Martin to UMass this off-season, but appears to be back at SLU.
I don't want to sound negative, but I'm not thrilled with the lack of accomplishments in the last few weeks. Of course, if Frank can find a better AC to replace Bailey all is forgiven. Getting a couple of recruits signed wouldn't hurt either.

^ What accomplishments were you hoping for in June & July?

Anyway, Bailey doesn't seem to be active on Twitter, but he hasn't taken UM pictures out of his profile yet

But UMass has taken his name off the Coaches page...

...and killed the bio page that they had for him
