Here’s how you can keep up.

• Cal hired Mike Montgomery, who once coached Stanford … so that makes sense. Ben Braun—the guy they fired, coached there for 12 years prior.

• Braun, in turn, is now the coach at Rice.
• So it appears Stanford will lose Trent Johnson … who will go and coach at LSU.

• Indiana, of course, hired Tom Crean.

• That affects Marquette, who now will have Buzz Williams drawing on the wipey board. Williams was an assistant for just a year at Marquette, but coached at the University of New Orleans before that.

• Craig Robinson, who everyone now knows as Barack Obama’s brother-in-law, is the coach at Oregon State. Robinson used to coach at Brown … so that tells you a little something about the prestige of the Beavers’ program at the moment.

Notable jobs still open: Oklahoma State, Providence and Stanford.
