So that squashes any Turner to Houston rumors?

He's a helluva coach. Hope he does well and gives the AAC another program we can be proud of. Also hope we whip them 2x a year

Or 3x, depending on conference tourney (unlike this season unfortunately)

Good. AAC isn't screwing around in hoops.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

American basketball is going to be even more ridiculous than it already is - which is awesome.

[Rebel10]

Houston has a press conference at 3pm to announce him as coach. The interesting thing is that thing he did wrong in making too many phone calls is no longer illegal.

[SMUSooner]

He's a good coach and a was starting to be a good recruiter. He does more with less because they will play defense and they will be tough and physical.

This is great. Next year Houston and Temple (they had a few transfers sitting this year like we did last year) will help take up the slack for UL. Losing Rutgers is a blessing in BB so we will have quite a few legit teams in the AAC.

[StallionsModelT]

Sweet. The AAC needs UH to step it up with the departure of Louisville. The league needs to be consistently putting 5 teams in the NCAA tournament.
