Coaches Road Show

Really, that’s cool, didn’t know it would be that personal. Thought more like a panel with them taking questions from the crowd.

It is but beforehand they walk around and mingle.
 
Get there early, I found myself standing next to Coach Mora at the bar. Totally coincidental. And I saw my partner chatting with another woman. I walked over and she said "I'd like to introduce you to Radenka. She's the president of UConn". Pretty low key.

“When you accomplish something like that, it’s so hard to do,” Hurley said. “UConn makes it look easy, especially the last 30 years in basketball in particular. But it’s not easy to do. Look at the greatest programs in the country and they haven’t had anywhere near our type of success in terms of these types of championships.

“You deserve to enjoy and celebrate it without losing focus on trying to win the next one. … When you win a national championship it changes your life and it changes your career and it changes your confidence in what you do. I’m not a normal person, so, for me, I’ve been on to next year.”

Hurley draws a crowd, praise at UConn Coaches Road Show

Southington – It was easy to find but not see Dan Hurley prior to the start of the UConn Coaches Road Show panel discussion on Tuesday night.

I was impressed with some quotes from Chris Dailey. She started off by saying " I'm not here as a substitute for Geno. You got the A-team tonight"

Got a chance to talk to Hurley and a cool picture with the championship trophy.
 
Shot at Calipari? :)

"We don't have all these banners on the wall because of players that came in as the No. 1 player in the country and then left as the No. 1 pick, and you basically babysat them for six months," Hurley said. "We've been able to do it with players who, coming in, were not considered early-entry, or even NBA players at all. I think smart people recognize that you're improving, and that player development is a real thing."

If he's there, I will!

Just noticed tonight's road show is a totally different set up. No Mora, No Hurley, No Chris, but Geno and Penders will be there.

I can't imagine there's more than a few assistants in the country better and more deserving of a HC role. I'm happy he's waiting for the right opportunity. Much better than jumping at the first marginal offer. He deserves a million+ in a program looking to dominate their conference.
 
IIRC.. Kimani was the lead recruiter on Castle.. And I'm sure he wanted to stay and enjoy SC's evolution in Storrs if at all possible.. Hopefully he gets a bump in pay from "investments in the Program" per Dave B and can hold off just a little bit longer on the next move.
