Haven't heard the rumblings, but would be surprised if he left. He is smart and a veteran: I'm betting nothing about Queens has surprised him. He took over a train wreck after Mullin, and I think he has them in the right direction. (Their drubbing of us at "historic" Walsh was the low point of our season.) And I'd say flux at SJ's goes back to Looie. Mahoney had one good season, and Jarvis looked promising until he stopped coaching and recruiting when he realized he wasn't going to get a pro HC job if he stupidly insisted his inexperienced son were hired as a well-paid assistant. And he and the team imploded on a monumental scale.
Is Hurley out at ASU? Would he want to coach in same league as his brother?
I've, too, thought about Pitino leaving Iona and it's-one-bid-must-win- the-conference-tournament status.
Would SJ's skip over a couple of levels and consider Shaheen with his local connections and success? If it came down to him and the UCONN assistant, I wonder how that would play out.
Don't see Shaheen making the jump from mid major to BE though Willard and Cooley did. Openings at UMASS, Tulsa, and E. Carolina are more realistic. If he was interested in Central CT last year and didn't get it, that's discouraging, but of course this year is a different animal.
