🏀 Next Basketball Head Coach Speculation Thread

Knowledgable Kentucky fans vehemently disagree. The stuff he ran for his personnel was garbage. And it’s well reported that he made deals with DJ Wagner’s parents for certain playing time, which screwed him. Same thing happened in past years, too. Made these dumb deal so certain guys could get their minutes, then it made no sense when you saw how the roster fit together. Borderline malpractice.

Cal took everything that wasn’t bolted down in Lexington. Pope was left with one single player and was able to create a top 25 team from scratch while getting a late start in the cycle.

Would UNC be able to get Bill Self right now? I don’t think so (although who knows with the last round of rumors lol). Using the Roy move is sort of disingenuous. That’s a momma called situation.

Not sure what you mean by this? Are you agreeing with me?

Crazy for me to say I wouldn’t mind a loss to the Deacs tomorrow night? Puts them closer to a tourney bid, keeps them away from Ryan Odom, keeps us away from retaining Ron.

Nope. Never. Never root for us to lose.

Never.

Gotta throw a flag on this one. We have a culture of athletes going to class. UNC and Kentucky, meh.

That said, the fact is the UNC program is still a blue-blood and would definitely complicate things for us. I’m thrilled for Hubert to have a nice fat extension. He deserves it. In fact, let’s take up a collection to extend him to 2035.

Got everyone we’re talking about here except Pitino. Probably more Skinn than you read in here though.

I’m not worried at all about Odom and Wake if UVA wants him. Don’t know Odom personally obviously but from all the known info about him, UVA will and should get him if they decide on him. The question is will we

I did not know/realized that Skin had coached with TTO. That is intriguing. Don’t think you hire based on that, but I would like to see the next Coach make a concerted effort to recruit better in the DMV

Coulda just checked out mikeysurf’s twitter feed . . . .

Feel like Skinn momentum probably died with the VCU loss. Would be hard optically to hire him over Odom right now I think.

That’s an oxymoron. And most of my best friends are UK fans.

They run on emotion.

But what they hated about Cal the most was his insistence on two things: (1) Rosters full of OADs and (2) playing two true bigs every minute of every game (though he relaxed that, ironically, in his last year in Lexington).
