Hearing Danny Griffin is part of the exodus - Director of Player Developmemt. I am not exactly sure what he did and perhaps him leaving freed up another $80k or so for Chillious?
 
Read his bio and he sounds a lot like the Verducci to Bob Diaco. Didn't really sound qualified
 
From his official bio...

"Griffin brings a wealth of basketball knowledge, having played and later coached under legendary Coach Willie West at Los Angeles’ Crenshaw High, where he was a teammate of UConn coach Kevin Ollie"

Interesting...

Not comparable to Verducci at all - DPD is a non-basketball position focused on "working on the off-court development of the student-athletes, helping to set them up for a successful career after college, whether it be in basketball or any other chosen field." What even makes someone qualified to do that besides a background in the game, people skills and an undergrad degree? This is of much smaller magnitude than putting a 30-year OL/TE coach at OC.

Ah, my bad. The title made it sound like something more on court related

So he's basically an academic adviser?

He is a nice guy. Just never understood what he actually did.

Always a bummer when a nice dude gets fired. Just sounds like such is the way in Storrs right now and he unfortunately won't be the final domino to fall.

Who is the $100k clipboard stand who looks like the Paul Bearer and what does he do other than be a clipboard stand?
