Always love this thread.

There will be more announced soon I guess. Yeah, this thread is awesome. ASU did not have that good a season but I will give Bobby Hurley two more years to build the team. Shaka Smart, on the other hand, was great. Jury is out on Avery Johnson and Chris Mullin was plain awful.

No, I'm leaving Mars Hill after the NT this week. I enjoy this thread, however, and will continue with it.
However, I'm not sure if we're allowed to post if we have no active teams. So, if I stop updating this thread, that'll be the reason

Glad you are willing to give a guy two more years after his first season at a school. Awfully generous of you

Record wise, St John's was awful. Kicked off by that 32 point loss to St Thomas Aquinas in the opener.

But I think Mullin not coaching at St. John's would be his choice. He inherited an empty roster from Lavin. The returning players scored a total of 90 points with 7 assists over the entire 2014-15 season. He also looks to have an extremely strong staff and watching their timeout huddles it's more of a NBA approach with assistant coaches often controlling the dialogue.

It should come as little surprise that Jim Boeheim, now on the job as Syracuse's head basketball coach for 38 years, 2 months and 3 days, possesses the longest tenure in one job among active Division I coaches.

Nor should it be stunning to find Duke's Mike Krzyzewski (34 years, 2 months and 19 days) slotted at No. 2.

Still, it might be a little unexpected to find the rest of the ACC providing stability unlike any other conference, particularly in its latest configuration.

Notre Dame's Mike Brey is 24th in tenure. Rick Pitino of Louisville is 25th. Checking in at No. 32 in Florida State's Leonard Hamilton, with North Carolina's Roy Williams (No. 38) and Pittsburgh's Jamie Dixon (No. 39) nearly cracking the top 10 percent of the list.

That's seven coaches in the top 40, accounting for nearly half of the conference's 15 jobs. The Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC combined for seven of the 40 longest coaching tenures in the sport.

That's just one of the ways to get lost in the 1-through-351 (well, 1-through-348 at the moment) tenure list. A few other tidbits to consider before tearing into the list below …

  • Three jobs remain vacant (Florida A&M, Marist and Mississippi Valley). By this point last year, all 351 Division I jobs were filled, although three came open in July.(UPDATE: Florida A&M's hire is now reflected in the list)

  • The median hire date of all Division I coaches is March 23, 2011 (Steve Payne of Tennessee Tech). Put another way, more than half of all Division I coaches have been on the job for less than 39 months.

  • Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski have combined for 72 seasons in their current positions. The 98 coaches (plus the three schools with vacancies) at the bottom of the list have combined for 71 partial or full seasons in their current positions.

  • Almost exactly a quarter of all Division I schools — 88 of 351, or 25.1 percent — have hired a new coach (or have a vacancy to fill) within the last 15 months.

  • Rising true seniors (players who would have entered school in the fall of 2011) at 131 of 351 Division I programs have experienced a coaching change, which covers 37.3 percent of all D-I schools. That's actually down from the 41.9 percent for last year's rising seniors at this time.

  • For rising true seniors who signed with their respective schools in the early signing period (fall of 2010), the numbers are even more stark. There has been a head coaching change at 179 of 351 Division I schools since then (51.0 percent).

  • Coaches with a national championship: Syracuse's Jim Boeheim (1st), Duke's Mike Krzyzewski (2nd), Michigan State's Tom Izzo (11th), Florida's Billy Donovan (13th), San Diego State's Steve Fisher (19th), Louisville's Rick Pitino (25th), North Carolina's Roy Williams (38th), Kansas' Bill Self (40th), Kentucky's John Calipari (120th), Southern Methodist's Larry Brown (T-249th), Connecticut's Kevin Ollie (261st) and Texas Tech's Tubby Smith (T-275th). Fisher, Brown and Smith did not win national titles at their current jobs.

  • The longest-tenured coach without a Division I NCAA tournament appearance is Presbyterian's Gregg Nibert (fifth). However, Nibert took the Blue Hose to four Division II tournaments before the program transitioned to Division I in 2007-08 and owns 390 career victories.

  • The longest-tenured coach without a Division I NCAA tournament appearance whose entire tenure has occurred in Division I is Yale's James Jones (21st). He has won a school-record 209 games in 15 seasons with the Bulldogs.

  • The longest-tenured coach in the seven highest-profile leagues (the five power conferences in football, plus the American and the Big East) without an NCAA tournament bid is Jeff Lebo of East Carolina. Lebo (4 seasons) is 136th in coaching tenure and has not reached an NCAA tournament in his first four seasons, all in Conference USA. Other notable coaches who are 0-for-4: Central Florida's Donnie Jones (tied for 139th), Seton Hall's Kevin Willard (tied for 141st), DePaul's Oliver Purnell (147th) and Tulane's Ed Conroy (148th). Of that group, Lebo, Jones and Conroy spent much of their time on the job in Conference USA. No current coach in the seven highest-profile leagues has gone more than 5 seasons without an NCAA tournament bid.

  • No coach in the five power conferences has been on the job for four years and not reached the NCAA tournament. Six coaches in those leagues are 0-for-3: Arkansas' Mike Anderson, Georgia Tech's Brian Gregory, Maryland's Mark Turgeon, Penn State's Patrick Chambers, Texas A&M's Billy Kennedy and Utah's Larry Krystkowiak.

  • The longest-tenured coaches in power conferences without a Final Four appearance are Vanderbilt's Kevin Stallings (20th), Notre Dame's Mike Brey (24th), Florida State's Leonard Hamilton (32nd) and Washington's Lorenzo Romar (33rd). The only other power-conference coaches with 10 years on the job and no Final Four trips are Pittsburgh's Jamie Dixon (39th) and Baylor's Scott Drew (44th).

  • The group of coaches hired after 2009 season (five years ago) has had remarkable staying power. Of the 32 new hires in that cycle, 20 remain in their current positions.

  • Of the 351 Division I positions, only 113 have not turned over since the end of George W. Bush's presidency. Only 24 coaches were hired to their current jobs while Bill Clinton was in the White House; eight have tenures stretching back to the George H.W. Bush administration; four had their current jobs while Ronald Reagan was president; and just two took over during the Jimmy Carter years.

  • The longest tenures that have concluded within the last 12 months are Coppin State's Ron "Fang" Mitchell (28 seasons), South Dakota's Dave Boots (25 seasons), Delaware State's Greg Jackson (14 seasons) and Maine's Ted Woodward (10 seasons).

  • Of the 32 Division I conferences, 25 have coaches who have completed 10 seasons at their current school. The exceptions: The MEAC (Savannah State's Horace Broadnax has nine seasons), the SWAC (Alabama State's Lewis Jackson has nine seasons), the Missouri Valley (Northern Iowa's Ben Jacobson has eight seasons), the Big Sky (Weber State's Randy Rahe and North Dakota's Brian Jones both have eight seasons), the American (Cincinnati's Mick Cronin and Temple's Fran Dunphy both have eight seasons) and the Metro Atlantic (John Dunne of St. Peter's has eight seasons).

  • There was a coaching change in 19 out of 32 leagues since the end of the 2013-14 season. Only three conferences have not experienced at least one coaching change in the last two offseasons: The Atlantic 10, the Horizon League and the Ivy League.

I dated his daughter in the 7th grade we broke up when he got hired at Ecu I knew it was going to be a failure. I never went back to her always had her number in my contacts untill I went to the hospital one day and all my busniess contacts/current girlfriend at the time got deleted. I've been waiting ever since the day he got hired and always have the last laugh when he lost. I even applied to the job in highschool Jeff Compher the current ad there idk when this happen a long time ago!! He offered me a deal I just spoke to him recently at a Ecu basketball game and he says hi every now and again. I also dated a Duke student probably a grad now She was #1 @ duke for the first two years of her education there. I got to know Coach K as she was the math tutor of the Duke Men basketball team. I've even met CoachK little did I know one day July 4th and probably 2010 is when this happen My girlfriend went to Ocracoke and I invited her to go and her family went as well. Meaning we were on the balcony and I didn't know her father at the time I just happen to look in the window and there he was the Devil himself! CoachK was staring at the window I turn back so fast that I hit the wall with my back. Fyi this isn't even the first time for me I guess she went in 09/10 I lost my virginity at a concert behind the scenes and I was making out with a miliionaire at a Black Eyed peas concert in 09.
