Good picks.  I think fish has better choices than ucla.  Uw being one.   I don’t think bucks has the resources to hike the kind of program Fisch deserves.

Cignetti is 64.  Just signed an 8 year deal.  One of the highest paid in the country.  I think like most coaches he will be done by 70. And would rather not take on a rebuilding situation at Penn State, but would rather ride what he’s already built in the Big Ten. If he had not signed that extension, I might entertain it. But that extension also has some pretty hefty buyouts For him to leave from what I read

so for example, does State Penn  really want to pay Franklin $54 million not to coach. Sign Cignetti for 100 million over let’s say seven years? That’s 14 million a year. he would demand it all be guaranteed  and I think they would have to buy him out at the rate of about 25 million

do you see State penn committing 179 million to replacing their coach? Maybe but I don’t
