Some other notable hires around College Basketball.

Iowa hired Ben McCollum, who took Drake to the round of 32 in his lone season, his teams are known for playing at extremely slow pace & tempo, which in today's game where it's all about run & gun, fast pace & tempo, this could be a deterrent for Iowa, but the guy is a proven winner, and won 31 games in his first season as a D1 coach, so I think he will do good at Iowa.

Minnesota hired Niko Medved from Colorado St, who was on the verge of upsetting Maryland to move onto the Sweet 16. Medved, ironically enough like McCollum, spent 1 season at Drake before moving onto Colorado St. where he has been the last 7 seasons. He is a Minnesota native, and alum so this should be a great hire for the Golden-Gophers.

Also seen a report where Xavier is showing interest in Chris Mack, who took the job the first time Sean Miller left also. Xavier is a great program, but turning into a bridge job for bigger things for these coaches.

Xavier has always been a bridge job for coaches.
