Worked under Rick Barnes who probably still has sway at providence, showed improvement from first to second year, nba pedigree, can recruit. It’s definitely a speculative hire but it may be one that Providence needs to make given how that job will be with the competition.

I hope JWilly stays.

I also hope UVA looks outside of the program on its next hire.

I know how selfish both those thoughts are.

Fresh rolling in with the big guns this AM.

Providence hiring English feels the ā€œwe don’t want to miss out so get them early hire.ā€ Typically a move reserved for Mid-major ish programs trying to lock up the ā€œnext guyā€ on his assentation and get a few years of success out of him.

Cooley said that one key reason he took the Georgetown job is that his daughter is an undergrad there.

We should be on watch for Tony Bennett to Charlotte or Wake.

If your kid’s college is the most important thing, just go become Harvards head coach and make them admit all your kids

That’s a real galaxy brain meme. :joy:

Why become a billionaire and donate a library to get your kid into Harvard when you can become a hoops coach, get Harvard to pay you, and take your kids, too. (I actually assume that Harvard wouldn’t actually do this, but maybe…)

I’ve been watching the whole Harvard racial lawsuit thing. Turns out, having a parent be faculty or staff at Harvard is a pretty gigantic boost to getting in. Still gotta be wicked smaht to get in but it helps a lot.

Become the coach at the school your kids want to go to, then offer your own kids scholarships even if they don’t play the sport.

Run with it. I have on good authority that CTB has personal connections to Wake and finds Winston Salem charming

Hahahaah. boom!

There is nothing wrong with being a Robin or Albert to TB’s batman. I mean look at the coaches who’ve left and how they’re doing now. Not hating, but if JWilly is comfortable then I’m cool with him staying around.

Alfred not Albert. We can all differ on psycho analyzing the opposite sex relationships of 18 year olds, for example, but misnaming super hero sidekicks cannot be tolerated.
