Chatanooga’s Lamont Paris looks to be tabbed as next South Carolina coach

Taking the Saint Peter’s job is definitely the riskier move from a career perspective. The W’s and L’s go on your record and if you don’t win, it will be difficult to move up to a better job.

At Maryland, Tony can bolster his profile as one of the “hot young assistants” with no risk and potentially bypass the MAAC level altogether for his first HC job.

Wouldn't be a salary bump, either. He's making $315k as an assistant at Ohio State.

I'm not in the coaching world ...but a jump to St. Peters for Skin seems very very risky.

I suppose it all depends on how you are evaluated. Holloway’s record (outside of this year) isn’t particularly impressive from a pure numbers standpoint (he’s never won the MAAC regular season, for instance). But he’s been a “target” for programs even before the Sweet 16 run. So they’re seeing potential in his coaching outside of his ability to do the impossible (which he did this tournament).

If Skinn thinks he can recruit his guys to the school and compete in the MAAC, I could see the lure of taking a shot at being the lead guy.

They do have a tiny gym and the second lowest basketball budget in the MAAC. But they’ve also got an alum who has some pretty deep pockets…so that might be changing going forward.

I know this topic has become a favorite of ours especially since we want (and I want) Tony to coach mason someday.

I do think this is spot on though. Tony now has ties to nyc and nj much like Holloway did. Maybe the light at St Peter’s goes on and they go all in to be really good at basketball and lure a guy like Tony to keep going. Hiring off the Williard tree worked once, no reason it can’t work twice. They obviously would need to sell the next guy on being all in. As it was they were lucky to keep Holloway this long.

Or maybe they take the Mason approach, stay status quo, talk about the run nonstop for 10 years and Tony goes nowhere close to St Peter’s. We’ll see what transpires especially once they are done playing. I’m definitely curious.

Now when Maryland is ready to hire Kim in 5 years coming off back-to-back Sweet 16s, we can bring Tony home from College Park. Super convenient for everyone involved lol.

McMahon was able to negotiate a seven-year deal with LSU, per a source. South Carolina tried to push, but it speaks to the allure of each job that, despite NCAA punishments sure to come, McMahon still preferred to head to Baton Rouge.

Matt McMahon has agreed to be the next coach at LSU, a source confirms to CBS Sports. @JonRothstein first here, I believe.

Yep, can scratch my St Peter’s theory off the list and now go forward with the ultimate master plan.

"According to a source familiar with Howard’s contract, he was making roughly $500,000 a year but a couple of years ago, amid COVID-19 related financial shortfalls at La Salle, Howard agreed to cut his salary to $465,000. At that time, the source said, two more years were added to his contract."

Story: Adam Nelson (@HD_DirtKing) Wild day yesterday, expecting more of the same today. Here are a few quick hitters to get it going… Very early at Murray State, but some names making the rounds include current Racers assistant coach Tim Kaine, and Morehead State head coach Preston Spradlin. I...

"Rumors swirling about Kevin Willard’s new staff at Maryland. Sounds like he’s bringing DMV native Tony Skinn (assistant at Ohio State), Seton Hall associate head coach Grant Billmeier (if he doesn’t get the SHU job), and also hearing that former URI head coach David Cox is in the mix (another DMV guy).

---

Name that I’ve heard at George Washington include Yale’s James Jones, Miami associate head coach Chris Caputo, former Louisville interim head coach Mike Pegues, and a current Big Ten assistant."
