Johnathan Mandeldove joining Woodstock Academy Coaching Staff

[WrenchFan69]

Woodstock has been coming up big time since committing to the prep basketball game. Also this definitely can't hurt our chances with Tre Mitchell

 

[Huskybass]

Mandeldove never really did anything in a UConn uniform. But I remember watching some older game tape where he displayed nice footwork, decent touch and a nice feel for the game. Perhaps he is well suited for coaching. It is a good connection for UConn to have.

 

[Robertelamin]

I guess if you are tall enough anyone will think you know how to play basketball.

I suppose it's a good thing he's not playing for Woodstock. If you weren't aware, playing =/= coaching.

Kenton Facey ,and Amida Brimah
Were Russell and Chamerlain compared to Madeldove.
Not only did he do zero on the court but he was a key player in the APR suspension.
He owes us big time for damages.
I’m amazed he apparently graduated ,if he did.
He did make AZ ‘s UConn all-time looking the part of a real baller , in a suit ,sitting on the bench team at the five.

I suspect that he may find the view from the sidelines comfortingly familiar.

Of course I do. He could teach the team on sitting on the bench for 3 years, not taking his academics seriously enough to graduate and hurting the APR and not being asked to come back his senior year.

Maybe deserved, yet tough crowd. This is how we treat guys who could influence kids to go to UConn? Don’t count me in.

Agreed, Chief. Nothing to be gained by bashing the guy. Happy he is doing well.

I wish you realized how petty and ignorant this take makes you look.

 

[Hoophound]

Maybe he’s grown up some? Geez, Dove was never the enemy, he just wasn’t that hard of a worker. Further, the apr wasn’t any player’s fault. That was Hathaway’s fault.

 

[LIUCHusky]

I am more convinced as time goes by that there are posters on this board posing as UConn fans. They have one thought in mind and that is to undermine all things related to UConn athletics.

 

[Chief00]

Agreed, Chief. Nothing to be gained by bashing the guy. Happy he is doing well.

That’s the right attitude. Let’s not torpedo all the hard work Danny and his capable staff is doing.

That was just plain mean, funny but mean.

Bigger party legend on Campus Mandeldove or Ed Nelson?

 

[joober jones]

I've seen Mandeldove play in international games and he looked surprisingly good - he wasn't exactly setting the court on fire, but played infinitely better than he did at UConn. He's a guy who I think matured late in a lot of ways and paid the consequences. He's now graduated, is working on a Master's, and has landed some pretty impressive jobs. A guy with a feel for the game and his personal experience could make a hell of a coach.

 

[Hoophound]

when he was at uconn he hit on my friends who were in middle school

The above should be deleted, but if not, at least be fair with an accusation like that. Did he know they were in middle school?

 

[Madmannsucks]

Looks like he got his degree and built up a decent coaching resume.

Only Chris Hanson can assert or deny such things.

I still think we win the 6 OT game if he plays.

Just spreading the Mandel-love!

Thanks good stuff about Dove II

He generated a lot of electricity on those stationary bikes

That was just plain mean, funny but mean.

"Just plain mean, funny but mean" pretty much describes the BY.
