Top 20 non-conference games in 2011-12--Eye On College Basketball
20) Butler at Indiana, Nov. 27 -- Hoosiers coach Tom Crean will have some pressure this year -- and if he doesn’t win, many feel as though the guy on the other sideline, Brad Stevens, will eventually take his job.

We wondered when this would start happening. There is a pretty prolific long-range bomber who currently finds himself free after a two-year hitch at a Big Six conference program. He’s currently considering new schools. His first visit? Butler. Listen, there are a lot of big-time, blue-chip schools who would love to have this man’s shooting ability as part of their arsenal. He knows that. Still, he’s checking out Butler. And not a single person should be surprised. With the recent success and the family atmosphere Brad Stevens brought to that program, we’ll wager that this won’t be the last time you hear of a top-tier transfer putting Butler on his list of possible landing sites right up there with the more traditional powers.

Nice writeup here by Steve Walentik of the Columbia (MO) Daily Tribune about the recent group of coaches who turned down big names and big bucks to stay at their smaller programs, and how athletic directors are having (and will continue to have) a tougher time convincing these guys to stick around, what with the offered salaries getting ever larger, conferences that have TV networks attached to them, etc. We love that gentlemen like Brad Stevens, Chris Mack, Shaka Smart, et al, stayed at their respective current locales, but let us say now that if/when they leave for so-called “bigger” jobs, how unfair it would be to say they left just for the money. One of the things that makes great athletes and coaches great is their competetive drive, and if any of those fellows decides someday to move to a Big Six conference position, it will be for that reason more than it will be for the cash.

SOMETHING TO PROVE: If there was a player that looked as if he had something to prove, it was O'Fallon's Roosevelt Jones. The Butler-bound star, who is an absolute stat-sheet stuffer, can sometimes be the forgotten man playing in the southern part of the state. Plus, an early loss in state tournament play this past March limited his statewide exposure as a senior. But the South MVP is a brute force with his strength and improving skills. He impacts games in a different way, with his competitiveness and high-running motor playing a big part in his overall production.

#28 Chicago Bulls: Norris Cole, Cleveland State (Traded to Minnesota, then to Miami)
By 2016, Norris Cole will have a solid role on one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Cole will make it to the NBA Finals six, seven or maybe even eight times in his career. Unfortunately Lebron James will play hide-and-seek during the fourth quarter every time.

Six Degrees of a Coaching Change: Tracking the Coaching Carousel Part IV--Ballin' is a Habit
March 14th: Three coaches got the axe on the 14th. Its started with Jim Whitesell, who was fired after seven seasons at Loyola (IL). The Ramblers started out 8-2 and nearly beat Kansas State and Butler, but finished the season just 16-15 and 7-11 in the Horizon.
April 5th: To replace Whitesell, the Ramblers stretched their arms down to St. Louis, where they hired Porter Moser, who had spent the past four seasons on Rick Majerus' staff. The last three he was the associate head coach.
April 8th: Moser's first hire with the Ramblers was Rodell Davis, who spent last season as an assistant at Providence on the staff of Keno Davis.
April 18th: Keeping with the Chicago theme, Moser hired Armon Gates, a Chicago native that spent the previous season with TCU.
