"Hurley is eyeing the expected opening at UConn"

That would be fine by me. Bring Moore and Marshall and then steal Hobbs from Rutgers to round out the staff. That may be a stretch but it is my ideal scenario.

And, consider that this will re-engage Calhoun. And then add Hurley Sr. and Blaney as consigliere. Kinda exciting and gives one hope.

Not a ton of agreements from me and you Paes but this one looks good on paper for a lot of reasons. Problem being Hurley has his own ideas I am sure but Moore is also a good start.

Haven’t we learned anything? I’d be okay with one of former players or coaches but not a whole staff of them again.

I'd happily take Donyell as a big man coach tho, tbh. Add in Moore and Hurley's top assistant from URI, and that's a pretty good staff.

You guys gotta chill out with hiring back former players. That turned out great last time in the long run (outside of 2014).

Let AD conduct his search and see what happens.

Agree. But I hope that the new coach can re-engage the program with our basketball alumni and Calhoun. The current state of disengagement is very disappointing.

I want Hurley at this point just to spite the idiots on the Rhody board. Jesus they're delusional

The ones who say we're a worse job than Rutgers or St. John's really have me rolling.

Zero problem with bringing back at least one former player as an assistant. Ollie's last few years have been horrible, but his first five were spectacular.

Hurley has almost 20 years as a head coach btw. I'm pretty confident he understands how to run a staff.

From the pikell tree I’ll take whoever stoneybrook had working with jameel Warney.

That guy knew how to position his body to get easy baskets on offense. One of the best I’ve seen at that.

Any realistic shot at Donovan? Or is that like my dreams of dating Christie Brinkley in my youth?

He'd have to get fired, and he won't get fired before June at the earliest. I think we need a new coach before then so as not to lose every recruit and current player. Need to avoid a Pitt situation where we have no recruits or returnees of note for the new coach. Probably means needing a new coach before semester ends.

It’s like geno’s staff, you want at least one other person who knows the Uconn standard for players, but not an echo chamber.

Yup. This is why Donovan wasn’t going to be an option this year.

He would’ve had to have been after 2018/19
