🏀 Next Basketball Head Coach Speculation Thread

Jwhelan33 · January 29, 2025, 11:00pm

If you had 3 coaches UVA has a shot at and will contact, who would it be?

HoozGotNext · January 29, 2025, 11:21pm

If you’re asking me, I don’t know any more than anybody else. Byington, Odom, and Henderson I’m sure will all three be looked at.

Sorry. I meant 10 million not being a factor. Plus his new 25 million contract

Not to speak for HGN, but I feel like we can afford to be relatively spend-y here. Tony had been working at a discount, we’re not paying an outgoing buyout, and Ron is working fairly cheap for a season where the season tickets were already sold. There should be a decent war chest to get this right.

and of course shout out the Dean & Markel families for the future contract.

Little do they know this is an elimination game to make the UVA coach list

Randy Bennett for St Mary’s would be the random out of nowhere hire right? Have heard he can be abrasive, not sure if that’s why Aidan Mahaney and Joshua Jefferson transferred out or if they just wanted $$$$

He’s always on lists of people with no connection to our program. I just don’t see much interest from either side

BillyHoyle · January 30, 2025, 2:15am

Same last name as our legend. Plays slow. Casual fans would never know anything changed!

haney · January 30, 2025, 2:17am

Tony went bald…

AdventiveQuasar · January 30, 2025, 2:18am

Did not know until looking it up that he’s been an assistant to Tim Floyd and Lorenzo Romar.

This thread is going on 50k posts or so, and this is the first time someone has typed …

I feel myself warming to Kevin Willard and I don’t think I like it.

Hooandtrue · January 30, 2025, 2:22am

He wants out cause he knows he’s screwed once Derik Queen goes pro

AdventiveQuasar · January 30, 2025, 2:23am

Not gonna lie, at least twice I’ve seen Santa Clara higher than expected in T-Rank and have gone “Ooh, who’s coaching them?” Only to be disappointed when I check it out.

Same with Nevada (though less so this season).

Hooandtrue · January 30, 2025, 2:24am

It’s Lorenzo Lomar isn’t it. (haven’t looked)

haney · January 30, 2025, 2:25am

Alford, I think

AdventiveQuasar · January 30, 2025, 2:26am

Herb at Santa Clara, Alford at Nevada. Romar got let go from Pepperdine after doing his typical “recruit well, perform horribly” thing.

EmbracePaceUVA · January 30, 2025, 2:40am

We can’t have a Randy coach at UVa.

HoopinHoos · January 30, 2025, 3:14am

Giving the keys to Ron Sanchez would be a lot better than hiring Jeff Capel. Capel sucks.

HoopinHoos · January 30, 2025, 3:18am

Not sure Tony really coveted Dante Harris. Curtis Staples pulled a few strings to get Dante to Charlottesville.
