Shaheen Holloway to Louisville?

[cordeodato]

In 2019-20 they won 24 games and were a 20 to 30 win program every year after 2001-02, hardly the history books

Not agreed. Syracuse won 20 games this year. So what. Winning 20 games in a season for these teams in a major conference is just this side of mediocrity. How many times in the last 10 years have teams said oh no Louisville is in our bracket, we are doomed. Once maybe.
Louisville has fallen, and they can't get up. They can't pass the smell test. As. they actually do smell.
Please don't tell me they are in the ACC and that makes them de facto formidable.

SH is one of the private schools that doesn't have that big of an endowment ($308M) - so there just might not be the financial support there that other schools have.

Not saying he should leave - but just might be tough to build in the new environment.

None of this makes any sense.

USF coach Abdur-Raheem will get the job if they're smart.

I wasn't big on May, but going from May to Holloway? Sheesh. Is there really no up and comers in that part of the country?

 

[cordeodato]

My argument is Louisville is a program on the decline and is not an attractive job for an established coach. Makes sense to me

I'm surprised you aren't lead fundraiser for a Cronin UCLA buyout to get Mick back to Louisville.

Halloway has won more Tourney games at St Peter’s than the 5th best team in Ohio has won in what, 20 years? More?

toledo has won 4 straight regular season mac titles but has failed to get it done in the tournament to get a bid. so you are correct. feel bad for the rockets!

(i know ball, so try something better next time)

Alabama and Grand Canyon missing a comically large number of shots.

Shortly after Sanfancisco‘s victory over Kentucky, the Golden Grizzlies website crashed with t-shirt orders from Louisville zip codes.

Isn’t Oakland from Michigan

I know some SHU boosters. According to the ones I know, quite a few of them went to elite private schools but live in north Jersey and like basketball. It is a wealthy area, but I don't know what the appetite is to contribute the money that is needed to compete at a high level. On the other hand, there is a huge corporate community in the area. It may just be too much of an organizational challenge for SHU Administration to harness all of these disparate entities.

Agree and in a conference that may collapse between now and the start of next season

Louisville already has a very famous Shaheen's, it would be smart to add one more in my opinion. Great hire for Ville and a stepping stone, for Shaheen.

Shaheens Department Store

Shaheen's provides high quality school uniforms and specialized workwear-- from heavy duty Carhartt to functional culinary apparel. We also offer in house embroidery services and a rotating selection of boutique fashion.

Unfortunately, 2 of their most famous alums, Robert Brennan of First Jersey Securities fame (boiler room) and Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco fame were both convicted of fraud. But, they do have Dick Vitale, Bill Raftery, and Bob Ley as alums and Tony Soprano attended but dropped out.

Damnit you’re right.

Washington, which I consider a decent program, just hired USU’s Sprinkle off one ok season. Maybe Holloway is the best Louisville can get.

Sprinkle made tourny the last 2 years before with Montana St too. Won 2 different conferences 3 years in a row and then won a game in the tourny. He's a rising star.
