The man is leaning into his brand.
Charlotte HQ is going to absolutely looooove this guy.
A&M fans Bucky ball collision imminent
Alan Huss leaving High Point to become coach-in-waiting at Creighton per Norlander
How often does that coach in waiting stuff actually work?
This one seems more Painter model than the half dozen Coach K ones, I think it’s odds are good.
I see where Penn hired Christian Bliss’s high school coach as an assistant. Expect they’ll at least try to get him there.
Bliss and Spurlock, matching bookends of the Bennett era, together at the same place!
Successful (in terms of it happening):
- Brian Dutcher at SDSU
- Painter (as-mentioned)
- Tim Jankovich at SMU
- TB at Wash St (arguably)
Unsuccessful:
- Mike Hopkins at Cuse
- Tommy Lloyd at Gonzaga
Also, I assume Penn is a likely destination for TJP, with his connection to Fran?
I was early on this prediction! One of my friends is one of Penn basketball’s few (only?) actual fans and I was talking to him about TJP and mentioned Bliss as a good one for them to watch for too. I’ve edited out the part where I actually discuss TJP for kindness’ sake.
Would absolutely root for the UVa disappointment all-star Quakers with Fran at the helm.
Ivy seems like a good level for TJP. Hard to say with Bliss until he actually decides to get off the bike and go play
Boozers head coach/aau coach
If Jai somehow flips Boozer I’ll buy a Miami shirt and wear it to the ACCT (assuming they aren’t playing us)
Could be RJ Luis too
Isaiah Wilkins is going to Cal, assistant coach I assume. And everything points to J Willy heading to Georgetown. I think he was ready to take a year off until that came open.
Any rumblings about what Sanchez will be doing next season? I personally feel like he should be a HC somewhere.
Minnesota assistant was the early rumor with Medved
Says Kyle got his degree? Not sure how to read that…. Probably close
