Former Kentucky standout Travis Ford will be the next men’s basketball coach at St. Louis University, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported on its website Tuesday night.

Ford and Oklahoma State parted ways a couple weeks ago after he coached the program to a 155-111 record and five NCAA Tournament appearances in eight seasons.

If basketball coach Jimmy Allen wanted to say that Amy was his dream job, nobody could have blamed him.

Allen, named Wednesday to succeed former boss Zach Spiker as the Cadets’ coach, lived in West Point, New York, before moving to Roanoke for the 11th grade.

Allen’s father, James, is a 1967 Army graduate who later returned to West Point as a chemistry teacher.

"Amy" You mean Army?

UNLV getting Beard was a coup. A great hire.
Pitt disastrous to go from Dixon to Kevin Stallings. Terrible hire. Ditto with SLU hiring Travis Ford.
TCU and Oklahoma St got vast upgrades in Dixon and Underwood.
Stanford upgraded with Haase.

Interesting to see who Georgia Tech can lure there. Surprised that so few jobs opened.

can i just say, its great that al would come back, even though he has no teams, to continue this tradition of discussing RL coaching moves, which i have relied on for entertainment and educational purposes for years.

thanks al, nice to see you around again, if only for a moment!
