Should UConn hire Ryan Odom?

[UConn_Top_Dog]

The man did a masterful coaching job in that Virginia game. Maybe UConn should roll the dice and take a chance on him.

 

[djct1999]

Yes, as a ball boy.

 

[uchusky32]

Never heard of him before this game. One game, should be our coach? Please Uconn do something. I can't keep coming here every 5 minutes reading this crap. But I will.

OP strong in the running for "worst takes of the day" winner

If you looked up "unnecessary, duplicative thread" in the Boneyard Dictionary, you'd see a screen shot of the OP's post.

No poll. No answer.

Even after last night, Kenpom has them at 168. It’s more likely that we saw the luckiest win of all time than we saw the next big coach.

If not for a miracle buzzer beater, that would have been a Vermont vs Birginia first round game.

 

[navery12]

No.

Honestly, I never heard of Jim Calhoun before he came to UCONN, so despite the snark the OP will have to endure for this thread I get his thought process. Geez guys - take a breath.

 

[junglehusky]

Nah. Lamar Odom.

Don’t forget Loyola-Chicago’s head coach. If they hang on against Tennessee then he’s the frontrunner.

It’s not about whether you’ve heard of him. Check the resumes. Calhoun’s resume before UConn is waaaaaaaaaay better than Odom’s

 

[Jaker]

Nah. Lamar Odom.

that would be a heck of a recruiting party

I know, and I get it. I know we're all on edge, but we all need to take a collective deep breath and chill out.

People aren’t on edge. Some posters are just posting all-time stupid things lol

Please stop embarrassing yourself

 

[Madmannsucks]

His record is 45 and 23. In a very weak conference. Every time a coach win's a big game are we going to immediately court them? He was in the right place playing the right opponent at the right time.

Well, how often have we been in this position as a basketball program? Pretty unique situation for us to be in coaching search mode, let alone during an NCAA tourney.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

They beat a #1 seed by 20. Coach had some cause for that. It's not stupid.

If this account wasn't started in 2012 I would be certain it was just a troll

I could but I won’t. I feel bad at this point

His father is Dave Odom, who was a very good coach at Wake forest for many years. He coached Tim Duncan among others. . Don't know much about Ryan but obviously he was exposed to basketball & coaching all of his life.
