Williford was an assistant there before joining Tony. But at the same time I think he can get a way better job

Agree American doesnā€™t feel like Jwillys nxt spot. High mid major or low major. Not a non major school.

Two lists of Hoya coaching candidates Iā€™ve seen, and my reactions:

  • Pitino - no, going to the Johnnies
  • Brey - no, heā€™s said no already (2017), and doesnā€™t want power 6
  • Kim English - no, too soon
  • Mike Rhoades - no, I donā€™t see it. I think heā€™s happy
  • Anthony Grant - :thinking: (donā€™t discount that Jesuit network)
  • Ryan Odom - probably not, but still ā€¦ :thinking:
  • Robert Jones - no, need to aim above the MEAC
  • Mike Jones - no, need to aim above VPI assistants
  • Chris Mack - maybe, for the @DFresh11 content, but no, because, just no

Second list:

  • Keatts - no, hasnā€™t had enough success on court or in recruiting
  • Mike Jones - guy must have good PR folks to get on two lists. Still no
  • Matt Langel - :thinking: but seems like a big jump
  • Pitino - nope, theyā€™re building the heliport on top of Alumni Hall as I typeā€¦
  • Shrewsberry - :thinking: but more likely ND? Heā€™s an Indiana guy
  • Rodney Terry - intriguing esp. if TX makes a run, but I donā€™t see it

What happened to Ed Cooley? Is he staying in Providence?

Brian Hamilton with The Athletic has Kevin Keatts and Mike Jones on his Georgetown short list, and suggests they swing for Rick Pitino.

Why tf would anyone hire Keatts

Eh. He actually hasnā€™t been terrible at NCState. They got hosed in 2019 and should have made the tournament. If they had, and make it this year, Keatts would have had a personal 5-year NCAA streak and would have taken NCState to the dance 4 times in 6 years.

Given that itā€™s NCState that isnā€™t bad. On the downside, they peaked as a 9-seed so the ceiling might not be Georgetown-accepted. But heā€™s better than theyā€™ve looked the last couple years.

Yes but NC State Is a storied program in a great location with plenty of cash. That record at say Clemson would be a little different

Close, ā€˜86. They made the Elite 8 3 times in 4 years in the mid-80s which is pretty good and have more nattys than we do. Itā€™s not exactly ancient history, but itā€™s been a few decades. 3 Sweet 16s in the last 20 years.

Edit - Also, their last ACC regular season OR tournament championship was ā€˜89, which kinda cements that narrative, imo.
