Summit League Coaching Changes

[HoopsBison]

There are now two openings in the Summit League, Omaha cut ties with long time coach Darrin Hansen on Monday and today the Coyotes of South Dakota have parted ways with coach Todd Lee. Very surprised to see the Yotes move on from Lee already. One would wonder if Saul Phillips might be a target to land one of these spots? Also wouldnt be surpised if current ndsu assistant coach Kyan Brown's name was mentioned.

Todd Lee... are the rumors true... I wonder???

Sure seems like it has to be something more then just on court production....time will tell.

Heard it was definitely "off the court" issues... no confirmation on "the rumor" yet though.

I thought NW Missouri State's coach, Ben McCollum, would eventually find a spot in the Summit or MVC but it sounds like he may be the top candidate at Milwaukee. Would have been a good get for Omaha or USD.

I agree with you 100%...McCollum is a great coach and program builder - I believe he would find success in the SL. Sounds like Craig's assistant, Eric Peterson is the choice...just working out details of the agreement. Not a bad choice.

Surprised to see Lee get the boot. Players in the portal with ties to coaches add an interesting dynamic to coaching hires these days. Not sure what rumors EC8CH is referring to.

Theres been speculation of possible recruitment tampering with Lee (possible with Bruns kid of UND), not sure the sources are great but they are out there. Coach Lee offered a kid a scholarship yesterday so this was a complete blindside to him.

OK, I saw some of those veiled comments in the other thread.

Makes me wonder if Fidler at Omaha or any of the USD kids now enter the portal. Lots of dominoes could fall.

Where has this statement been used before?
