Carlos Daniel hired as Director of MBB Strength & Conditioning

[uconnfan68]

Love his resume

Any playing time left?

 

[Kitaman]

Will this now silence @Chief00 ?

 

[August_West]

Carlos Danger?

Weiner not even that strong!

 

[Chief00]

Another great hire.

Confirmed.
Additional they have posted an assistant /intern S&G type position.

Quite frankly, being an advocate for necessary change isn't something I shy away from. Change can be disrupting short term and in this case more so than necessary. There should have been a better plan in place to handle Miller's exit - it was done far too casually with too much collateral damage. There was far more damage done to UConn during Glen Miller's "quiet grace period" (after being told/before being announced) than progress toward Glen getting a job - which was the purpose of it. For all Ollie's faults this season the thing that really screwed things up was giving that grace period without more formal restrictions and requirements to guarantee a smooth transition and no damage from within.

I have not Confirmed this but one source tells me Glen was even offered another job at UConn - which he turned down.

The people personally defending Miller on the other board and attacking KO or either ill informed or have a strange way of looking at things. I do think KO needs an organized and experienced business person to better orchestrate these types of changes in the basketball office. But, he has made two good hires. I already hear at least one school is negatively recruiting about Coach Chil due to his ridiculous secondary recruiting violations.
I would love to see Larry Brown in some kind of advisor role for X's and O's and game adjustments and strategy. He would be a great addition!

Chief enthusiastically supports the new S&C coach.

It's settled, then.

I am constantly duped everyday on here to think that Chief could actually be someone connected to the program.

I suggest having a "panic" button app. Well even design it for you. It can bring you right to the page of the "dre incident."

Sing it from the mountain top! We are back into the building Big Bad Dudes!

 

[Fishy]

Good - He's an excellent hire at strength and conditioning.

Bad - He's probably the best power forward in Storrs right now.

One of the most puzzling things to me the past two years is UConn's continued ability to hire P5 talent. It almost doesn't make sense.

Right, like how in did we get Rhett Lashlee to come here and do the same job for less money?

 

[RichZ]

Confirmed.

Strength and Gymnastics?

 

[Chief00]

Strength and Gymnastics?

Typo S&C - granted it resembled S&G when Travis was here

 

[Paesano]

On a weakly related note, does anyone know where I can find information comparing undergraduate programs in exercise science/physiology?

 

[dennismenace]

Question: Would he be a basketball only S & C coach or other sports as well?

Question: Would he be a basketball only S & C coach or other sports as well?

His title is Director of Men’s Basketball Strength and Conditioning and the job description describes his duties and responsibilities as the "development and administration of the strength/conditioning program for the UConn men’s basketball team..."

My bet is he will play nice in the sandbox w/ other team S&C counterparts when/where appropriate but his primary responsible is MBB.

I would love to see Larry Brown in some kind of advisor role for X's and O's and game adjustments and strategy.

I'd be happy with post-game notes from him like the ones George Blaney forwards to Ed Cooley.
