We are three men passionate about all things college basketball. And we all have weaves.

On the true debut of our offseason pod schedule, the fellas give all 60 hires a grade from A through F (apologies to Chicago State, Mount St. Mary's, and Florida A&M;, whose jobs remain unfilled).  THE TWIST: We can only give out 12 A's and 15 B's, and each guy must give at least eight D's and five F's. Grade inflation, be gone!  Who LOVED the Calipari hire, and who simply gave it a C? Which select few coaches earned A's across the board from us? And, gulp, who earned the dreaded scarlet letter F?

#350: Coaching Hire Report Cards

The season is over, and UConn won the national title easily! Is it 2023 or 2024? 2024, you say? Well, that means the Huskies went back-to-back! We look back on the incredible, buzzsaw-esque run of inevitability, particularly the meticulous dismantling of Purdue in the title game. Dan Hurley can coach some ball, folks.  We also give Zach Edey and the Boilermakers some love, hat tip to NC State and Alabama, and have a detailed discussion on the WILD week that was in the coaching carousel.  Thank you to everyone who tuned in this year - it's been a ton of fun interacting with folks about our beloved college hoops.  The Rundown (0:10) - Intro (6:32) - Root's Roundup (heavy coaching carousel talk, plus a little NIT chatter) (35:24) - Final Four Roundup (55:07) - Extremely Quick 2025 Lookahead + one Review
