🏀 Next Basketball Head Coach Speculation Thread

Utah St fans still giving credit for Odom for recruiting Odom and Martinez.

Also it’s wild how the consensus amongst their fans (twitter, their forums) is that Odom and Calhoun are leagues above Sprinkle/Sprinkle is their least favorite coach even though he was the one who won a game in the tournament (they give credit to Osobor balling)

Wait… like, by themselves? Time for me to reuse this gif:

Think Odom would be the better fit though. Utah St fans bring attention that Calhoun isn’t the greatest defensive coach.

Odom feels like a more complete coach

Yes, all by themselves. The student who turned it in didn’t help one bit.

Interesting. Not sold on the methodology though, figuring out who didn’t use a search firm seems hard; I don’t think it’s sufficient to say that if you can’t find it advertised on a firm’s website or mentioned in a story then they didn’t use a search firm.

I assume that I could have and I will never be proven wrong.

You either have reading comprehension problems, or you are just really good at taking things out of context. Which the latter is fairly easy to do on a message board.

Conference realignment really has very little to do with the basketball program.

Of course not.

It’s the collection of talent, and if UVA feels it is good enough to represent the program going forward. If there is a coaching change, plan on complete roster turnover. That’s just the nature of the beast in today’s game.

Ah, the resort to ad hominem. See my second bullet point.

The context that I had in reading your posts was to read all of them, and the responses to them, at one sitting. I found your argumentation at once obtuse and at the same time, protean, shifting seamlessly from arguing one thing and then the opposite to justify your position. Debating with you, I find pointless as your position is, essentially, “Everything proves my point, and those who don’t understand that are stupid,” or in my case, have reading comprehension problems. Guess that UVA education didn’t take.

Given all of this, I wouldn’t have bothered responding to your posts, except for your blithe dismissal of guys here who have worn the uniform, bleed blue and orange, and have worked and continue to work to build this forum for all of the rest of us. They don’t need me to defend them, but I certainly wished let them and everyone else here know how much I appreciate them.

When we upset Duke tonight, it will help give Sanchez a chance to at least get another mid Major HC job.

I don’t think VCU or Utah St would consider him though but maybe St Joe’s if they move on?

That is an interesting point. I’m of the view that anything short of an ACC tournament win and a decent run in the NCAA tourney should preclude Ron from the job. But I also realize that the ultimate decision will be based on how Ron stacks up against whichever other candidates are willing to take the job. My expectation is that there will be better candidates available.

That being said, I don’t see another P5 program hiring Ron as HC. But would he prefer to go back to HC at a mid-major or as an AC at a P5. If the latter, where do you think he might end up?

If Sanchez doesn’t get the UVA gig, he will probably end up as an assistant at a P5 school and try to bring the UVA players that his new program most covets with him.

LMAO.

In other words, anything short of something unrealistic or unattainable, should preclude Ron from getting the job.

That’s fine if he takes players with him.

Correct!

If UMBC never happened are we still enamored with young Ryan O?
