MBBALL Wayne Tinkle

The timing is a little interesting considering their 4th in the WCC and have won 2 in a row, but it was probably time. He only had 2 tourney appearances in 12 years and hasn't had a good season in 5 years. OSU probably wants to hit the reset button as they head into the rebuilt PAC. That's gonna be a damn good Basketball conference. I'll be curious to see what's next for Tinkle.

He's a good man. Sorry to see him fired, but OSU has struggled the last few years.

Rather a polite way to put it. Not sure what the problem was there, but he could not seem to sustain any success ... with a decent year followed by two or three downers. He's not that old so I don't see him retiring. With his experience overseas, I could see him coaching there at the pro level.

Probably North of 21,000,000 including buyout. I say leave with a smile and step light. Good work sir.

Even with Oregon (and Federal) taxes, that should be a nice chunk of change.

From everything I've heard (in-laws lived near Portland for many years) and read, OSU suffers from an even bigger "little brother" syndrome than the kitties. Don't know about the NIL, but attracting top talent to the Beavers has always been tough. I think that's what finally caught up with him.

Highly unlikely, but here's a fantasy redo: comes back to UM, brings family, he takes on men's BB, daughter takes over LG.....now that's fantasy!!

Hopefully we have Decuire for awhile but it also crossed my mind that maybe Wayne would do well in the women's game...he did raise and develop good talent in Joslyn and Elle so he has shown he can work with and get buy-in from young female athletes.

I think the world of Travis, but I believe he is stale here. I believe he never imagined he wouldn't be at UDub, Cal, or Stanford by now. The Big Sky is one of the lowest rated conferences in the country, so I have no doubt he could win the conference title every 3-4 years into forever. But this guard heavy rotation he prefers will almost never result in wins against quality teams and the prospect of ever winning a game in the tourney seems extremely far fetched.
 
Great interview with Wayne pulling back the curtain a bit. Says he's not done coaching and Tres wants to get into coaching as well. I wouldn't think he could get another D1 head coaching job, but maybe an assistant job or potentially step down to like D2 or NAIA? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how they do at the WCC tournament. They're the 4 seed so if they win their first game then they would get Gonzaga in the semis which would seem like a very tall order, but who knows. It's March, anything can happen.

What makes you think he couldn't get another D1 coaching job? OSU was a perennial bottom dweller in the PAC (with a few short respites) as it never had the resources or fan base of other programs save Wazoo. Treading water at those places is a victory and in the new big boy era it will be even more difficult.

I mean AD's are gonna look at his overall record and 2 tourney appearances in 12 years and come away skeptical. It doesn't matter what circumstances he was dealt with at OSU, all that matters is the win-loss column. Maybe he can get a very low level D1 head job from like an NAU type program, but there's no way he'd be able to get another job on par with OSU. Now he can definitely get an assistant job at the D1 level, but I'd be surprised if he got a head coaching gig.
