Would be a terrible headline to read I am channeling Glove. I apologize Well, at least it was a repotts instead of a report. I don't know who repotts is. |

I don't see Wayne going anywhere. He is probably using this to leverage a better deal at OSU. |

Another thing about Roy Willams, that until the pandemic, you frequently saw him on TV, sitting, smiling with all the common folk at UNC playoff baseball games.

I don't see Wayne going anywhere. He is probably using this to leverage a better deal at OSU. LOL My sentiments as well. WT is 55, so entering later stages of coaching career. He just had a peak valuation event. OSU is not willing (or probably able) to pay what he's now worth on the open market. If he has every had ambitions to coach at a blue blood, his window finally has an opening. If instead he prefers to return OSU to being a blue blood without having to deal with a lot of the shenanigans that goes on at the big names, then maybe he stays - but I imagine he's going to demand a much stronger commitment from the university, and that's not just about his salary. He's also talked plenty about 'tuning out the negative', and I don't think he's speaking about posts on Benny's House - that probably isn't going to help keep him around. |

He was quoted in an interview before one of the tournament games that he wants to stay at OSU as long as they will have him and hopefully for the rest of his career (a sure sign he is leaving...LOL). His family does really love it here, so it would take an amazing opportunity for him to leave. I have never seen any of our other major sports' coaches as active and involved in the community as WT and his family are in Corvallis. The tuning out the negative comment was in regards to the rumblings about canning him during the beginning of the year coming not just from here, but the media and boosters. I think he proved them wrong at this point and bought himself a few years (at least) before those type of negative comments could resurface. |

Any criticism of WT over the last few years at OSU is NOTHING repeat NOTHING compared to the intense scrutiny and personal criticism faced by coaches of the so-called “blue blood” programs. Wayne is a big boy. He knows that winning is what it’s all about. And at higher profile programs, even more so. |

Does anyone have a link to any of these reports? This does seem like one of those classic "April Fool's Day Threads". Here's a thread at a North Carolina basketball message board where their fans speculate on who their next coach will be. Only coach out west mentioned is Mark Few at Gonzaga. northcarolina.forums.rivals.com/threads/next-hc.80370/ |

Good April Fools joke. However, if I were Tinkle and NC came along and offered me even an interview, I'd probably be on a plane checking out Chapel Hill within the next couple days to see if it is a town I could consider living in, unless I'm already familiar with everything there. It wouldn't be so much for the money (but that helps) but for the history of support for, and success in, basketball at that school.
I hope he really does love it here. He makes plenty of money here, but considering the career he's in he really doesn't. Being a competitive guy, a move like this could be desirable. If he really likes it here, he'll likely stay.
