That's a good question. I would hope so.
Where's Harker? He should know this.

One of the TV stations last night said that the rally that was supposed to be today, but that was cancelled because of Pearl, will be rescheduled.
But it has got to be SOON for the players' and fans' sake. To still not have word today on when is worrying.
Start a petition to Santiago or Haidet or someone?

maybe it can be next week to thank the team and announce a new head coach. that would make the press confrence announcing the new coach more exciting.
we do need to have something to thank the team. and hopefully not on a tuesday or thursday (so i can attend)

I know someone who was part of the planning for the pep rally, and it was the decision of the Athletic Dept -- to cancel it and wait for the new coach. So that may be a good sign that a new coach is expected soon -- but it will be a while. So it's up to the Athletic Dept to decide whether to move faster to make it about the players -- and then do it again when a coach comes.

My guess is that there will be a new coach by the middle of next week at the latest. I wouldn't be shocked if its before the end of the week - search frim or no. No matter what they say, they had to have seen this coming

what about a welcome back/welcome new coach rally? I think that would be pretty awesome

I was in a meeting this morning with the vice chancellor for student affairs (athletics falls into this division) and the plan now is to combine the new coach hiring with the pep rally. Definitely on a fast track to hire. I think Bud said 10 days historically, but may take longer if needed to get the right person.

Athletic Department people are headed to St. Louis this weekend to interview at the Final Four. That's where they interviewed and hired Bruce 4 years ago, so maybe again this year.

Tenative plans had started to be in the works for a welcome back event that was gonna be next week sometime, but then...well you know what happened.
Yes the plan now is to have something when the new coach is announced, something big with all the bells and whistles for the new coach and also to acknowladge the Sweet 16 and fabulous season that the Panthers had.
More details will come as they develop
