If true, I guess not getting KA for Billy might have cost him his job.  A sort of "one and done"!

Who does Coach S. want Coach Roberts to recruit from the NY area?  Good luck there!

Seriously, all the best Coach Roberts!

Might want to merge this with a thread I started under College/Pro Sports.

The article I saw said former "Florida Assistant coach" Norm Roberts, not former "SJ head coach." With us, he was completely irrelevant.

Good luck to him.  Norm's best bet is to hang on to Self's coattails for as long at possible. Still surprised that he couldn't parlay a big east head coaching job into at least his own head gig at lower level.

he wants to remain in the big time and self is a great friend to him.  there's no way he'd go to a mid major to work his way up.  he's a professional assistant and self believes a great one.

1,000% NOT TRUE

Norm & Bill Self are the best of friends, Norm's wife is from Kansas and his son is on the team as walk on. Billy Donovan doesn't need anyone to get him a player.

Hopefully Lavs stays at St J's for a long time as Father Harrington and Norm may have an Isaiah-Dolan thing going on. For the uninitiated I am joking).

I'm certain this move came with a pay raise.

Didnt Self just lose Danny Manning from his staff?     could help explain the move.

Yes he went to Tulsa.  I have to imagine this will hurt them with big men recruits going forward.  Manning helped pump out some top big men to the NBA.
