    Who else is still in the playoffs besides Billups that we would want to look at?

    Bud?

    Either that or Neil and Jody are feuding?

    Probably not a great career move to "feud" with the person who writes your check.

    It's supposed to calm the nerves, but it doesn't seem to be working around here ;)

    Coaching USD where they have zero expectations and you are in the opposite of a basketball city where no one cares, vs being the head coach of the New York Knicks?

    Leaky McLeakerston.

    Olshey seems like the kind of totalitarian who would have someone's head on a stick if they leaked something he didn't want leaked.

    Generally, I assume most leakers leak leaks for a reason.

    Or maybe they just like fucking with us?

    they might not be able to announce it but I expect a resolution by the end of the weekend. I don’t think they need to wait until Billups is out of the playoffs to agree to a deal.

    there’s a bit of a difference in salary though. It’s USD, not Kentucky.

    Surprised there hasn't been an announcement yet. Even if it were Billups, they can do that before his team gets eliminated.

    Thought it would come today.

    I think he got like 25M from the Knicks to just go away after being fired. Not to mention whatever he got in Memphis. He worked I think for the Knicks for one year, got paid, and could go to USD, make $450k and live very nicely in La Jolla. Yes please.

    Maybe if he didn’t have any competitiveness in him. I don’t think there’s any coach that would pass up the NBA for college unless they were at a major program, or 78 years old.

    Recruiting fûcking sucks. That’s the issue with college, in my opinion.

    They can announce Billips before his team gets eliminated? I didn't know that. This makes me Believe more maybe there is feuding going on in the Blazers front office?

    I am not saying he would do this, I am saying i would do it 10/10 times. If I was given $25M to leave a job and still wanted to work for some godforsaken reason, I would rather coach USD and live in SD than be an assistant in the NBA, travel like they do, and live in some new city that I may not like. Again, thats just me. These guys are different though.
