Dwayne Killings will replace Karl Hobbs

[Palatine]

"I was very impressed with his pedigree, the different walks of life he's been through. He's been an assistant coach at Temple, but he's also worked in the NBA office, and with the Charlotte franchise. All the different knowledge and basketball experience he has is invaluable. I know he will be an outstanding addition to our staff."

Did we get the assist coach slot filled yet?

Yes. It was filled by Dwayne Killings. The OP has it written in the thread title. And there's an entire separate thread on it.




sarcasm off.

 

[BlueMAB]

Man lands on the moon.

 

[Kembacity]

Does Steve Harvey have any tidbits of information on the assistant coach signing?

 

[intlzncster]

Yes. It was filled by Dwayne Killings. The OP has it written in the thread title. And there's an entire separate thread on it. sarcasm off.

Hey, just pointing him to the thread.

Which is why I clearly said I was being sarcastic.

Ha, wasn't sure if it was directed at me or at him.

Pretty exciting get for KO. Would seem on paper to be the right move as the guy has a tremendous background for a young assistant coach. As a fan deep down inside you wanted to get one out of the family eventually but also wonder if this hurt our own guy KFree in any way. He's young too and will find his way no matter.

Welcome to the world of championships Dwayne!

Great article and sounds like a great find. Character and diverse experience including Temple which has a program that I really admire. Equally important,
recruiting connections, especially in the Philly market. Sounds like a class act.

Kfree, while I love him, was not ready for this. Not with where we want the program to go. . Especially, with losing the experience of a guy like Hobbs.

I just hope he's killings it on the recruiting trail.

 

[Waquoit]

I just hope he's killings it on the recruiting trail.

I see what you did there

I'd hate for our recruiting to go down the dwayne.

 

[MTHusky]

Dwayne has been hired for like 4 days and not a commitment yet? Time to dump him and KO.

Seriously, as Kfree found out, production is key. True, Kfree was dealt a tough hand when his opportunity window occurred just as Sam/Bunk were leaving town. But, you got to be a closer by differentiating UConn from its competitors. The standard Glen Miller tour of facilities just doesn't cut it.

Are you a politician? You really hammer home your talking points.

Kfree has never coached (as an assistant) in his life.

This is straight trolling.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

This is straight trolling.

I think you're giving him too much credit. When he says stuff like "A lot of people have been asking me to break down ...." I think he really believes it. At a certain point, to me, it became more sad than funny.

 

[Robertelamin]

Ignore the haters Chief. They are just jealous.

 

[Chief00]

He was an assistant coach on an interim basis in terms of responsibility after Hobbs left.

Ok, so 3 months of assistant coaching. He definitely got shafted then.
