how dare you.
Canāt tell if the hint here is that we are indeed able to buy out Byington or if Byingtonās buy out is a hurdle we wonāt cross.
I feel like Calhoun and Byington are very similar basketball philosophy wise even if their schemes are different. Byington the obvious instate advantages but if we canāt afford Byington, Calhoun is the obvious choice in that regard.

Yeah Louisville ran a matchup zone during their championship years didnāt they? I think not being rigid is the only constant I would prefer in a new coach. Recruit to your offense, and then build out the defense based on what you see once theyāre on grounds.

Feel like the NO CAPEL is my hill to die on so every time someone mentions that clown Iām gonna post how terrible of a hire it would be.
That loser DOOKIE should never be in JPJ more than once a season.
Would be a a pathetic hire.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Iām pro hills to die on. Hills have a view. My hill to die on is we need someone whoās teams have a history of playing scrappy as hell (hence my affinity for Kim English, even though I acknowledge thatās not gonna happen). I think thatās what defines a āteam you can lose withā as a fan, a group that goes out and leaves it all on the floor even in a loss. I donāt want Buzz but watch his team, they play so hard every night. Fires me up.

Pitt hired a new AD in October too. New guy came from Tennessee so heās not beholden to Capel.
Capel did manage to get an extension out through 29-30 from the prior AD in July. So heās got a little leverage. But he must not feel too comfortable for all the noise coming from his direction.

Not when you die saluting smartly and charging up hill, looking at the regiment occupying the high ground and mowing down your unit ā and you.

I want a coach who inspires his team so much that even when itās clear theyāre going to lose, their family members start a brawl in the crowd that delays the game by ten minutes.

Donāt know if this guy has been mentioned above but what do we know about George Mason coach Tony Skinn? Former GMU player had a decent first year coaching last season with a 20-12 record and has his team leading the Atlantic 10 this season.

Iād think Maryland would have better options than a mid-major coach with 2 years of experience. 3 if they do it next year.
Also, in my mind I always thought Capel grew up in Virginia because I associated his dad with ODU, but after actually looking at the timeline, dad didnāt take the ODU job until after son went to Duke. Little brother did go to HS in Virginia before going to UNC I guess.

So I very much get this, but have DC/VA panned out in line with their rankings in recent years? I have no idea - I havenāt actually looked at it - but feels like so many have disappointed. Like there arenāt that many I wish weād actually pursued and landed. But might be no different than anywhere else and I could be remembering wrong.

Jason was at Virginia basketball camp in summer 1993. Maybe they had just moved when Coach Capel got the ODU job
How do I know? Because I drove Jason somewhere to get him a fan for his camp dorm room, cause I am nice
