Murphy’s ability to be hired depends on whether or not the NCAA slaps a “show-cause” label on him like they did with Kelvin Sampson at Indiana. If the NCAA does that it would basically prevent Murphy from being hired by another school for three-five years, depending on the length of the show cause term.

From Wikipedia – “On November 25, 2008, the NCAA slapped Indiana with three years’ probation for violations largely tied to Sampson’s watch. It also imposed a five-year show-cause order on Sampson, meaning that no NCAA member school would be able to hire Sampson without demonstrating to the NCAA that Sampson has served his punishment. However, most NCAA members will not even consider hiring a coach with an outstanding show-cause order, so the show-cause will likely have the effect of banning Sampson from coaching at the major-college level until 2013″.

Good thoughts, as always, PhxTitan. Definitely worth looking into.

Questions: It would be insightful to get a glimpse as to the potential future of Pat Murphy. Can sanctions be leveled on a coach? Can they “follow” him to the next gig? Or is Murphy’s slate “wiped clean” upon his exit, lessons learned, etc, as it relates to future gigs? Certainly not his reputation. Pat Murphy has retained his own attorney via the Az Republic account, not to mention his counsel advising against public comment regarding the case at this time. What’s Pat’s risk beyond his reputation? Inquiring minds want to know. Waiting till June… crazy. ;-) Although I do imagine Murphy is dead in the water, regardless, until this whole thing sorts out.

Crazier would be Murphy landing at say, USC, and they play a future series, with ASU slammed with all sorts of sanction, while a USC program, for example, is sitting pretty and headed towards post season. ASU sinks, USC rises. I imagine that “potential” could happen, no? If that could be addressed in future articles, it would be clarifying.
