This thread now has this song in my head so it's only fair that I put it in yours as well.

Did Pokey Chatman know Russian before coaching there post-LSU?

Below is the club's announcement. Interesting that his résumé shows that he has international experience as AC for the Dutch U18-U20 teams between 2011 and 2018 and for the Estonian U18 team in 2019.

Folks here will get a kick out of the lede:

"'Coach Q,' one of the best coaches in U.S. basketball, makes the jump to Europe as the new head coach of Baloncesto Leganés. In so doing, Quentin Hillsman moves from the prestigious Syracuse University to Liga Endesa."​

Some people are truly worth ignoring until forgotten.

For what very, very little it may be worth…

“Leganés is described in the 16th century annals as a corruption of Leganar. The latter supposedly makes reference to the abundance of légamo (slime) in the area in ancient times.”

The translator of that wikipedia entry was wrong in calling légamo “slime”. It's the slightly more agreeable silt.

Google Translate/Audio solves any real-time communication/language problems today. I went to Russia & was able to interact like a native.

Maybe, but how many current D1 wcbb coaches have taken their program to a final four?

Amani Bartlett, the third of four Syracuse signees to leave just showed up at LSU. The fallout continues. Not sure if she is eligible.

Maybe, but how many current D1 wcbb coaches have taken their program to a final four?

Not sure, but I'm thinking it's more than the number of coaches who had their entire team quit on them.

Not sure, but I'm thinking it's more than the number of coaches who had their entire team quit run away from them.

I'm getting the impression this club may not care after reading this article. They're having their own drama with coaches it seems.

Of course, a lot of European teams have a lot of Americans on their rosters and most people in Europe speak English. He won't be able to get away with his shenanigans while coaching grown women.

Could be possible based on this article I found. The translation is a bit wonky in some spots.

Seems as if the team didn't have a clue, or that's part of the reason they've changed their minds.
