So, can we take him off the UConn payroll now?

All the dimes back!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

For Fairfield county folk, St. Joseph's is playing @ WCSU 1/2/19. I plan on going to that game!

 

[Horatio]

So St. Joseph’s will be the Honorary Div. 3
Team of the Boneyard. I’m sure they’ll have an ongoing thread on here. Chief will be on their campus to search for and groom their
Version of Bunky and show their program how to successfully conduct a “Gag Order”.

 

[Deepster]

Am I the only one who just doesn't get this whole thing? Why doesn't he continue to help UConn and why feel the need to do what he's doing at a D3 level?

Thanks! I'll be there!

Coaches gotta coach

 

[LIuconn]

Yeah - this is awesome. I always wondered why coaches didn't do more of this. How cool it must be for a D3 kid to get coached in a competitive environment by a HOFer for 1+ seasons?

 

[Dogdeacon]

This reminds me of when you Deep didn’t believe Cedric Ceballos liked playing basketball. It is simply a retiree continuing their life’s work in a less demanding environment.

I used to bang a couple of chicks that went to StJoes.

He loves coaching and molding young men. It's a passion of his and building a brand new program is right up his ally.

He still supports UConn in anyway possible

Are you really calling me out on a Ced Ceballos reset?

Eh. He's there part time for a year. Maybe 2. I feel the time is better spent at UConn instead of a school for teachers that just allowed men to enroll a few years ago.

 

[jimva]

I think he will give it 3 yrs if he stays healthy. Will get great d3 and maybe d2 kids. And will do wonders for the college. Every game will be a news story in CT.

 

[polycom]

Those kids are going to get destroyed come practice time.

 

[Fishy]

Because he's rich and bored. I don't think the UConn stuff is particularly interesting to him these days .

St. Joe's is D3 and he has Miller to help with the day to day - it's a low-pressure, low-effort way to get back into coaching which he has clearly missed. Nothing to overthink here.

No malice here but my guess would be yes. Unless you are very young or never played or coached sports, this in not a hard thing to figure out.
Gym rat, basketball junkie 101.....
Schmoozing alumni for money is simply not the same as teaching and competing in the game at any level....

This is one the most random call-outs I've ever seen.

For the life of me, I can't fathom why, and in what decade, the two of you were debating Cedric Ceballos' love of basketball.

 

[Dove]

The Boneyard never forgets.

My grad school alma mater! Go Jays! Big shoes for Jim to fill. The USJ football team is undefeated.
