Travis Ford takes the OSU job
According to Fox Sports News.
Oklahoma State. Forgot I had to clarify around here.

Re: Travis Ford takes the OSU job
In other hoops news, Providence hired Keno Davis. Good hires for both schools.

Re: Travis Ford takes the OSU job
I think that's a pretty weak hire for Oklahoma State. Ford may turn out to be very good, but nothing he's done at UMass shows me he's a sure thing. Getting to a couple of NITs with UMass? Big deal.

Re: Travis Ford takes the OSU job
Guess the Billy G speculation was just talk and hope after all.

Re: Travis Ford takes the OSU job
I would have been insulted as a UK fan if Billy G had left for that job, but given that some billionaire has given them a huge chunk of money to play with, I hadn't ruled it out. I agree with Boston Red: it was not that impressive a hire. Ford hasn't accomplished anything spectacular at UMass, and the same could be said of his previous stops.

Re: Travis Ford takes the OSU job
I met Travis Ford last summer when our course hosted a booster golf tournament for UMass hoops.
The way he talked about "his kids" and the UMass program, I would have guessed he'd never leave. He was a lot shorter that I remember him from his Wildcat days. |

Re: Travis Ford takes the OSU job
The Ford hiring is a little surprising considering all the money Pickens was rumored to be throwing around. I guess all that money was only good for Self. After losing him, they went "young and cheap".
