🏀 Next Basketball Head Coach Speculation Thread

[Jerome]

Wonder if Marquette fans are worried about us poaching Shaka

[UVApride7]

Just from scanning their board, a couple are. Seems like they think Shaka loves Marquette but also are concerned that having to find a new president and AD could change things depending on who takes over.

Most don’t think he makes a move this offseason though.

I’ll admit that I don’t read every topic in this forum or sometimes it takes me awhile to get around to reading some.

I apparently hadn’t read the Dai Dai official thread since late May. When I clicked on it and started reading the new-to-me posts from May, it was like weird time travel back to a mostly happier time. It was a nice break from reading about Dawn as a possibility to be out next coach. I decided not to read all of the posts in order to save some for later when I need another break.

If we go the assistant route, have to start with Murray.

[HiltonHeadHoo]

Even though the assualt charge was dropped … I don’t see UVA taking that on.

[Jake]

Yeah and he just signed a huge deal. Would have otherwise been a brilliant fit imo.

Coaches are a weird breed, man.

[HoozGotNext]

Anthony Gill would be like

[Wahoo-Architect]

Maybe he’s making a “point” that they all need to “guard”…

[AdventiveQuasar]

Love my PGs to be 6’8" 265

[StLouHoo]

DJ Burns averaged 2.9 assists a game last year, better than any PG we have on our roster. Point Center?

[TobaccoRdHoo]

I thought this thread had potential until I saw the name Dawn Staley pop up. I’ll check back in a couple months

[MaineWahoo]

You know you could just like say who you think would be good fits and discuss those. Always an option!

[ElliottHoo]

Hopefully a new head coach won’t be a big topic of discussion over Christmas. If it is, the season is going really badly.

[Jake]

Better to contain it all here in one spot.

[superhelix]

I’m surprised we haven’t discussed the concept of UVA establishing a GM position for dealing with NIL and recruiting and lobbying and then bringing Tony back next year with a lighter workload so he can focus only on the players and practices and in-game performance…

I’ll get Tony on the horn and see if he would go for it

[BillyHoyle]

This is what I’ve heard Wisconsin is proposing to Tony already…

[DFresh11]

Ha. He would be terrible at that. Dealing with NIL etc proly the reason he quit us
